(This post is dedicated to my kick-ass entrepreneur Mom, because it’s her birthday and she has been known to put in some pretty crazy hours. Mom, if you’re reading this at work, go home, for God’s sake. By the way, you don’t look a day over 52.)

What hat are you wearing right now?

The customer schmooze hat? The Accounts Receivable hat? The creative hat? The actually-doing-what-it-says-you-get-paid-to-do-on-your-business-card hat?

As a home business owner, you wear a lot of hats. Sometimes you wear them in rapid succession. Sometimes you wear them all at once. Sometimes you slack off and sit there, hatless, staring at your computer screen.
