Business Is Like That
Business Is Like That
For the first 4 or 5 years I was in business for myself I didn't shut the office over the Christmas break. The reason wasn't because I was so busy I had to keep it open to cope with all the work, the reason was I needed the money coming in and and needed to be available for any possible client/money that might roll is.
There was never much work on and even when there was, the people we needed to speak with to get jobs done were never around - they had closed for Christmas. It was a frustrating time.
Now That The Business Is Well Entrenched
Now that the business is well entrenched we close the office for Christmas. And we do that so we can enjoy a break from what is now a very busy time. Around this time each year we seem to get even busier.
Business is like that. Things don't fit into next little boxes or timeframes that make it as easy as possible to deal with.
Things are jumbled up, you have problems to solve, issues to deal with, deadlines to meet... and on it goes.
I remember that one of my big wins in business was when I came to the realisation that business was about solving problems. That's all business is. Problem solving. Once I realised that the problems seemed so much easier to find solutions for.
Cheers
