How To Set Your Business Priorities As A Solopreneur
Follow the Right Strategy To Get More ROI Out Of Your Business
If you are an organized, efficient employee or student, running your own business should be a piece of cake, right?
It does not transfer over so seamlessly.
Having coached hundreds of solopreneurs and small business owners over the past few years, you must learn how to manage your day and your priorities as an entrepreneur like you were starting your career almost from scratch.
Why Is Managing Your Business Priorities So Different From Task Management As An Employee?
First off, in a job, you have a boss. Knowing you must stay accountable to your employer does wonders to keep you on task.
Secondly, you have a schedule and deadlines. Knowing the expectations of work hours will force you into a routine.
Third, your employer sets your priorities so you are always aware of expectations.
Last, but most importantly, you get an immediate reward in the form of a paycheck. Money is a great motivator, especially when you know it is certain. And if you don’t manage your priorities, it can and will be taken away!
