Is your busyness killing your business?

So, have you been busy lately?

If you’re like most independent professionals, the answer is a resounding “YES!”  Between answering the phone, responding to email, managing details for multiple projects, checking to-dos off your lists, keeping up with Quickbooks, running to the bank, dropping packages off at the post office, you’re lucky to have time for lunch!

For many business owners, the busyness isn’t translating into depositing more checks, which is the point of all this busyness, right?

Can you relate?  Do you ever feel like you are just too busy to market your business?

It’s the classic conundrum: There is so much to do that you don’t have time to do what is most important:  find new customers.  Hey, I ain’t pointing fingers … I can be just as guilty as the next guy.  Our busyness can be our doom if we aren’t careful.

So what does the busy one-man-show super-businessperson do to avoid the busyness trap?
