… ultimately the buck always stops with you… you’re the one that stays late to finish everything off; whilst everyone else clears off… the one that has to deal with the angry customer… the one that has to chase payment from the elusive client… the one who has to do every other thing to run a business that no one ever told you about… the one who has to take all the responsibility!
Planning, Bookkeeping, Accounts, Tax, Marketing, Sales, Invoicing, Debt collection, Manage staff and the business, come up with ideas, make adjustments as necessary, be flexible, pricing, strategy, computer work, social media, copywriter, proof reader, stock checking, buying, evaluate the best systems to use... and ... making decisions... lots of them!
it is a good question, because somewhere along the line you also have to squeeze in the very thing you set out to do in the first place.... the thing that got you excited, the thing you wanted to spend your time doing, the thing that you are most skilled in, the thing that got you out of bed in the morning, the thing that you were passionate about…
All the other things aren’t really your bag, but as you found out, come with the territory.
