Hi Tam,

Thanks for telling that great story about your Dad. He seems like a real down-to-earth kinda guy.... :)

It's amazing how everyone is some kind of "manager" nowadays.... It just devalues the word "manager".

I'm sure that before too long, soon all we'll have are "CEOs" and "assistant CEO's"! :)

I remember reading a story about a guy who was running his own one-person business. In order to make the business "look" bigger, he had a number of "titles" he used...

Sometimes he was the "delivery man", sometimes he was the "advertising manager", and sometimes he as the "CEO" - depending on who he was talking to!

(I guess when you work for your own business - you can give yourself whatever title you want...)

Part of this boils down to - what do you answer when people ask you "what do you do"? We've talked about this on Sowpub before.... Many of us wear "many hats" in our businesses, so how do you answer "what DO you do?"

It's something you really have to think about - how to answer that question when it's asked - if you're in business for yourself! (At the moment, I tend to say I'm an "online publisher" - even though that's only part of what I do....)
