i was accused to today of not being able to separate business and personal
this is something i have been accused of well as long as i have been working
which includes paper routes i had when i was 9 years old
but you know
i'm not so sure i would change this
cause its this meshing of biz and personal
that makes my clients feel that i really care about them
and i do
course its also what keeps hurting my feelings when my clients
dont call or email to say thanks after i kill myself for them but i digress
the meshing thing
keeps me feeling like great pals with my staff
but hmm
then again
also prevents me from being able to fire them
when they really
truly deserve it
and um
kinda brings out my inner SUCKER a bit
but still
i care
and cant help showing it
the meshing thing
is probably the reason
why ive been ripped off as many times as i have been
which is umm
about 5 times in my life
so hmmm
i guess if you hold up the money i have lost
time i have lost
pain i have suffered for feeling too personal about my business
it probably doesnt seem like a good idea
but then again
if you took all my caring
and love out of business
hell
id rather chuck the whole thing
and sell donuts on the highway
so
i guess
ill keep on meshing
how bout you?
got any ideas about business and personal
and what to do
or what not to do
id love to hear it
