Stepping into my roles as a business owner and local artist...

Finding myself in charge but still feeling very submissive.... Has anyone had to find that balance. I can be a bit particular, which could lead those who work for me to believe that I'm more dominant than I really am. Though I still feel seen by the men who get it... I wonder if there are any tips on how to navigate this space...

I've always been very good at compartmentalizing. In some ways, I use my natural Dominance as an enhancer at work. If you can separate your "work" self from your submissive self. That may help you..

@Ironhand honestly I was thinking I may need an assistant. Somebody that can be the bully I need. I know my strengths and my weakness, no reason to try to do it all. I'm very good at what I do but that dominance thing...the most dominant thing I can do is leave and let the people that handle those situations do what they are good at. Forever the velvet glove and not the iron fist. But...can't lie. I've always seen my nature as a strength and an assist. Feels weak to have to sit back on things...

Your image as submissive is your own. It can be a way to take a break from your responsibilities. But don’t give up your dominant side — you still need it at work and in life. If you want to show that submissive side to attract some of the men around you, do it with the right person, not with everyone.

@Mousa91 I guess I'm wondering if those roles require me to be dominant or if there is a way to maintain my nature and still be in charge.

@MizzO you need to be nice but not submissive, also some situations need to be strict.
