But this freedom comes with its own set of challenges: how do you stay motivated? How do you manage your time effectively? How do you avoid the pitfalls that come with the territory?

To help you achieve success as a self-employed business owner, here are 5 tips for staying on track:

1. Keep a calendar. You need to know when things are due, or when it's time to follow up with clients. You also need to make sure that there's enough time in your schedule for important tasks and appointments—both professional and personal.

2. Make lists. If you don't write it down, it'll just get lost in the shuffle. Lists can be both a tool for keeping track of commitments, and a tool for keeping yourself motivated when things seem overwhelming.

3. Maintain boundaries between work and home life. Take time off! Don't work during dinner! Avoid checking work e-mail at night! Boundaries are important not just to keep yourself sane, but also so that people around you know what's expected of them—
