Does anyone ever feel like you are never getting caught up? I took two weekends off this month and wow! I am buried over here guys, I worked at least 16 hours yesterday and I have been working since 6am today. I did take a break to clean the bathroom after the plumber made a huge mess.
Well guys I offer services for Inmates and I know you are probably thinking that this not a good source of income but you would be surprised. I think the thing is that I offer a lot of personalize services along with the basic research services. I do need to sit down and elimate some of my services and get a grip on things.
On Sunday my 16 hour day I was on a power mode trying to prove that I am a machine and it paid off but I am tired now. Yesterday I worked long and hard but didn't get as much done because of the plumber kept coming in and out of the unit.
Oh and Lynn I guess I do have a service-based business.
Do you have any competitors? If so, look at their business model and make sure that your current rates are competitive (ie not too low) within your industry.
Is the problem in efficiency/productivity - or do you simply have too many orders/customers? If its the latter, then are you earning enough to hire an assistant or outsource some of your tasks?
Yes I do have some competitors but I think it's because I offer personal services. I do enjoy it but I don't make enough to hire someone right now. Well I guess I do but the money has a different kind of flow.
For example - I could get alot in the begining and then it slows down and maybe around the middle I get a rush and then it slows down and then at the end of the month it gets really fast.
I am never caught up either. I think it is because I am always adding to my "To Do List" rather then working on getting the stuff on it done! I bet I am not the only one doing that too..
I don't have a to do list. I keep three different shelves with work on them. Top - replys or questions, Middle - new clients, Bottom - payments coming in. I do the payments first and then the new clients and lastly the reply's and questions. What do you think about that?
Taking care of paying clients first sounds like a good plan. As for replies & questions, write up a detailed FAQ, publish it on your website, and direct them there first. You may find that helps to cut down on personal correspondence while still keeping your potential clients happy and ready to place orders.
