 The one challenge with being your own boss is that you have to lead and assess your own work. One strategy that might help you do that is to write your own job description, and then evaluate your performance based on that description. So, if you were going to write your own job description, what would you include?

Job Expectations

What endeavor and efforts do you expect of yourself--what does that look like in real time?

Demeanor and Communication 

What demeanor do you bring to the job and why is that important? How do you effectively communicate? 

Research and Development

What will you research in order to improve your job performance and how will you develop your efforts?

Teamwork and Collaboration

Are you an effective team member? What kind of collaboration is successfully employed? 

Once you've completed your job description, work to stick to it, then choose a date to evaluate your performance and potential revise the description. Onward.
