Take matters into your own hands. Determine one or more aspects of your professional skills that need improving and invest in training and resources to help you enhance your abilities. Don’t expect your employer to make you a better employee. As a business-of-one, it’s up to you to improve your offerings if you want your customer (aka boss) to give you more respect, money, and op-portunity, up-skill yourself; take a class, purchase an on-line course, go back for that degree you always wanted. Also, find something to improve yourself that is independent of your job. The more skills and knowledge you amass outside of work, the more marketable and empowered you will become!
