I’ve spent a great deal of time over the past year trying to figure out the rhythm of running a small business.
When do you work in your business, when do you work on your business, when should you be prospecting and developing new clients and when should you be making sure you have batteries for the electric pencil sharpener?
It’s all a complicated juggling act.
Lately, I’ve been concentrating on the churn, making sure I have projects ready to start as other projects end. Not easy, for sure, but exciting.
Wondering about all the other small bizzers out there. How do you balance work and development, especially if you’re a one-man band?
How do you keep enough hooks in the water to catch fish you’re going to need later?
It’s a struggle, no doubt. I’m trying to transition from a full time job, which I’m still in, to spooling up my own small biz.
Often feel like I’m burning the candle at both ends because I refuse to give my family the short end of the stick.
