Being your own boss isn’t for everyone. It means putting your clients ahead of yourself and thriving under pressure. You have to take pride in your product or service, and it has to prove valuable to others. However, you can’t be too proud to make changes. To be a successful business owner you have to be extremely self-motivated, commit to constant and strategic innovation, invest in yourself, and put everything into what you do. Are you ready to be your own boss?

Today on the Wealth Creator Source Podcast, host Raymond Aaron speaks with Norm Friend about becoming your own boss. Norman is an expert in expansion strategies, franchise development, and franchisee recruitment with over 30 years of experience. He regularly presents seminars and keynotes to professionals and students throughout North America. 

Expert Action Steps:

• Capitalize the company properly
• Do the due diligence and do it thoroughly. 
• Use the professionals: use the lawyer, use the accountant to do those parts of the due diligence that they have to do, and pick people who are experts in their field.
