Do you own your own business but you think it owns you? how do you know? do you work long hours, trying to meet deadlines, doing 10 things at the same time, never seem to finish anything? then your business probably owns you. what can you do? whenever I get that feeling, I take a break to write down what needs to be done today and cannot wait till tomorrow. I then prioritize the tasks and then go back to work doing the most important things first.
Do you feel you are getting back the control? another, more advanced way to think is who can help me do things so I don't have to do them all? After all you are the CEO of the company. Only because you don't have employees to do things for you doesn't mean you have to wear all the hats. Start with a list of things that someone else could do. Start with a bookkeeper, with a virtual assistant taking care of your admin. Maybe you have a marketing consultant that helps you with your marketing. Then you already outsourced your marketing which is a great step.
Step by step you can start getting back that control and more time during the day to work ON your business.
So I challenge you to ask yourself everytime you feel overwhelmed: what shouldn't I be doing as the CEO of the company? Is there someone else that could do it? Maybe faster, more effective, even cheaper?
