Being Your Own Boss—Part V: Building Trust
This fifth and final column on being your own boss describes how to take control of your own work. It covers the key issues you will face, the fears you must overcome, and the self-confidence and credibility you must build. While the challenge of doing all of this may seem daunting, and while it does take personal courage, it isn’t really that difficult. The key is to be willing and able to take responsibility for your commitments. While you can take all of these steps by yourself, it helps to have teammates to work with you. Once you know how to manage yourself, however, you will not want to work any other way.
