You can’t really lose your shit in the office.
You can, but you can’t. Meaning, you probably won’t. There’ll be consequences you won’t like. There’s peer pressure. There’s an HR department.
You have to behave a certain way, no matter how you feel. You have to do your job, no matter how you feel.
Things are a bit different when you’re a solopreneur. You’re your own boss. There’s no one to regulate your behavior, and shit sometimes hits the fan. You should’ve seen me screaming at my computer the other day.

If you want a successful one-person business, emotional management is crucial.
You have to get up, face whatever kind of day you’re having, and work through it as well as you can.
And to help you, I’ve categorized the kind of days you’re having.
There are six of them.
The good days.
You’ll feel good. You won’t have any specific results or any reason to feel this way, but you’ll be positive and energetic.
On the good days, you’ll tick off the tasks in your to-do list almost effortlessly; ideas will come out of nowhere; you’ll be patient with clients. Even if you’re stretched or lack time, you’ll somehow make it work, and at the end of the day, you’ll feel tired but happy.
