How do you keep up? I own an accounting firm, have 3 employees and over 100 clients. I worked on a project management system for months that didn’t work how it was intended. So we are having one being built out. We are piecing things together for now. But I just can’t keep up!
When I first started my business over 10 years ago, I gave clients my cell number because it was just me. I have so many clients texting and calling me directly I can hardly get anything done. I can’t turn it off because of my kids school.
I have been delegating as much as I can. But even for me to review stuff. I am just behind. I wish I could work after hours so I could actually get stuff done.
Idk what I am needing, I guess more venting. But I’ll take any advice you’ve got!
You get a new personal phone number, your current one becomes the business mobile. You’ve grown the business to the point where you now need to separate personal and business properly.
You need to get a great consultant in for a few days to review the business objectively, you are too close to this, too immersed.
You need a break to clear your head. Make sure you take a good amount of time over Christmas and New Year, only take on work that can be handled with this in mind. No more.
