It's often hard to believe how fast the day goes when you are busy and enjoy what you are doing. Silly to focus on that, I know, but today screamed by. I started the day working on some self improvement at the gym; even had a consultant (personal trainer) helping to whoop me into shape. Then, I went through some of the minutae of managing a business, paid some bills, designed some code, wrote some code, had a little lunch, wrote some more code, sent a few emails, scheduled a few appointments, and now, here I am blogging. Whew.
One of the things most important when managing a consultancy/business on your own is making sure to leave time for marketing, networking and sales. When you are swamped with work for clients, it is really easy to forget that, at some point, this work will end. You need to constantly be looking for that next opportunity, and be ready to pounce on it when it comes along. I didn't get any in today, but met with a colleague yesterday and had a catch-up session to make sure he knew where to sell my capabilities, and where I could sell his.
So, tomorrow is out at clients, see you then...
