How to Do Your Business Proudly
In America we just celebrated our beginnings as a country with the fourth of July Independence Day Holiday. I spent mine producing a video and with my family.
Now that we’re all back to work we need to refocus off festivities, cookouts and fireworks.
Sonia Simone, a co-founder and CMO of Copyblogger media posted an article on this interesting topic titled How to Find Your Own Independence Day

Here is a break down summarizing what Sonia Simone said [she is an amazing writer by the way].
- Start treating your business like a business.
- Stop apologizing and shuffling when asked what to do – tell them loud and clear
- Stop obsessing over small costs when it doesn’t come close to your monthly Starbucks tab
- You have to learn how to sell
- Take your business seriously now
- Every minute you waste is lost time
- You are a business owner. Own it.
She ends her post with a perfect conclusion snippet of advice.
Start treating your business like a business and it will start to grow and flourish. That’s how you’ll create the independence you deserve.
Happy Independence Day!
So many business owners treat their business as a hobby, not taking it seriously. Those actions result in failure. Running a successful business is hard work. The bold short summary points are the most important. The last bold item is simply true, you are a business owner, own it.
When you take Sonia’s advice you are not guaranteed success, if you ignore it though you will realize failure.
