Get your business together. Get yourself into what you do and see it through.

Being boss is hard. Lending work in life is messy.

Making a dream job of your own isn't easy.

But getting paid for it, becoming known for it,

and finding purpose in it is so doable if you do the work.

Being Boss, a podcast for creative entrepreneurs from Emily Thompson and Kathleen Shannon.

Welcome to episode 3. Thompson and Kathleen Shannon.

Welcome to episode three, Redefining Professional.

Welcome back to Being Boss.

First off, thank you guys so much for your support

and feedback over the last few weeks.

Emily and I are really excited about this and we're excited to keep bringing you bossiness every

week.

That's exactly what we're doing.

We're bringing you bossiness. Okay, so today Emily and I want to talk to you about what it means to be professional whenever you work for yourself. So we all know that the beauty of working for yourself is that you get to make the rules.

You get to decide what you want to wear.

You get to decide if you want to work from your bed or from your kitchen.

You get to decide what to eat when you want to eat it and how much you want to work.

Maybe that's just me, I'm always eating.

But so often we're still tailoring how we show up in these jobs that we've created for ourselves

by someone else's standards of what is professional and what isn't.

Emily, what are your thoughts on that?
