Hello and welcome to Being Boss episode number 99.

This episode is brought to you by Freshbooks Cloud Accounting.

Being Boss and Work Being boss in work and life is being in it. It's being who we are doing the work,

doing the work, breaking some rules, and even though we each have to do it on our own

being boss is knowing we're in it together. So today we're recording this episode in a

live hangout with some of our listeners.

We're following up on the episode that we recorded with Jasmine Star,

where we touched on the topic of authenticity and haters.

we really want to deep dive on this topic of criticism, both real and perceived, and talk about

how we continue to show up as we are in our businesses in spite of the feedback we receive.

We're going to share our experiences and insights and answer some questions from our live audience

here toward the end.

Be sure to go and download that episode number 93,

which is Jasmine Star on Authenticity and Haters

if you haven't listened to it yet. The nature of work is changing. The internet has

enabled more people to become self-employed professionals and small business

owners. I remember just six years ago whenever I started working for myself. I thought that

maybe people thought I just couldn't get a real job but that is no longer true.

Today one in three Americans is self-employed and it's only growing. However, the world is not

built to support the self-employed. Institutions like banks, retirement savings,

employment insurance, accounting services, they really need to adapt or be replaced.

And this is why I love Fresh Books Cloud Accounting.
