How to be a bad a** boss lady
Pexel

For the past four years now I have been working for myself as an independent contractor. I am currently contracted to 11 different places and on any given day I can be traveling to 3-5 of the locations; every single week I am at all 11 places. Yes, tax time is a pain and my gas bill every week is probably a little bit more than the average adult human. But, I wouldn't trade calling the shots for anything. So here are five ways you can become a boss ass bitch.

1, Confidence is key

Working for yourself means you have to stand up for yourself. CLients will want to and will try to walk all over you....even future employers will want to try and walk about you. So, once you have a policy stand your ground and don't back down!

2. Know your STUFF

Try to be up to date on all the new and exciting information and if you feel like you don't know the updated info, than just be honest and look it up!

3. Know your place

Even though the customer is always right....they are technically almost always wrong, but treat them like they are right. Your customers are how you are able to stay in business and are the reason you are employed...so KEEP THEM HAPPY!!!

4. Organized Chaos

Make sure you know where your paperwork and information is.....even if you are an organized chaotic person.....you need to know where the paperwork, billing, and all the information of your business is!

5. LOVE WHAT YOU DO!

Remind yourself that at the end of the day that you're loving what you do and you are so happy with everyday that you can work for yourself!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
