Three Steps to Being a Better Employee-- Even if You’re Self-Employed!
Welcome to Zimmerman Podcast Episode 97!
Today, we’re talking about the three steps you can take to being a better employee.
Now, even if you own your own business like me, you’re still an employee-- of yourself! And as the leader, it’s your job to win employee of the month every month-- metaphorically of course.
Whether you’re just getting started in a new job, you’re working with a new boss, or you’re entering the workforce for the first time, you’re probably realizing that being successful at your job takes more than just being an expert at what you do.
It also requires you to work well interpersonally with the people around and above you. You’ve probably gone through years of school and special training to do your job, but no one’s told you what it takes to be the kind of employee that makes herself stand out at work.
Today, I’ll share with you my three best tips for being an employee anyone would want to keep around.

Sleeping with a Stranger
Sleeping with a Stranger is officially available everywhere books are sold in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Since the book’s launch, I’ve been amazed by how it has been received. From being named a best seller by USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Amazon and Barnes & Noble to incredibly personal and touching reviews from my amazing readers, it’s been such a wild journey!
Here’s one of my favorite reviews…
“I love the honesty of this book. It is real and raw and doesn't hold back; and that is why it is so mesmerizing. I could relate on so many levels and I know it must've been so hard to write about many of these very personal and taboo topics. I couldn't put the book down, it was such an easy and enlightening read. I highly recommend this to anyone who is soul searching or just looking for some perspective. Truth is better than fiction!”
