5. Figure out what business you are in.
If you answered, information selling or grant writer, that's not entirely correct. Your main business is not information selling. You are in the business of marketing
While it is important to perform the tasks that these activities involve, that is not your main business.
Let me explain what I mean.
You see, the most important activity n your business is marketing it! In fact, this is true for most small business that depends on consumers. The Entrepreneur who is more successful is usually not the one who is the most articulate entrepreneur or the best content provider. It is the one who knows how to get more people to speak to. It is the one who uses the law of large numbers in his or her favor.
Your daily task needs to reflect this fact. If you spend all day performing the administration tasks of the business, you will soon end up with no business.
You have to set aside a certain amount of time that you will faithfully spend on acquiring new clients. This will become critical for you to stay in business.
