Winning And Losing
We are currently paying the bills, but at times I feel like we are winning and losing at the same time. We are winning the week to week struggle, but we are losing the overall battle. If all we do is stay even with the board, I do not call that winning. Maybe we are not losing, but it sure seems like it is a stalemate.
Do not get me wrong. We have come a long way in the last two months or so. We have increased our income enough to rent a place to live other than this warehouse. On the surface we are doing OK. However, OK is not really good enough for anyone. If all you are doing financially is, “OK”, it is time to start some serious thinking about how you will change that.
Sharon and I are working too hard for the amount of money we make. We should be working this hard and making more. It is really time to start re-evaluating our process and seeing how we can streamline it. Being in business for yourself is a never ending process of change. You have to change and adapt as the marketplace changes.
Adapting is not what we do best, but it is time to learn how to see changes that need to be made and implement them. Seeing what needs to be done and doing it are often two different challenges. Seeing is easy. Doing takes more effort.
We do not need to spend more time working. We are already at work 12 hours a day, minimum. It is time to become more effective and spend more time actually doing productive work.
