Question: I’m having a tough time staying on top of everything. How am I supposed to work on the things I need to focus on as the owner of this company when I’m constantly putting out fires and being interrupted?
Answer: Every owner needs more time to work on the business. That time is hard to come by. Consider a method I call the “Doctor’s Appointment Method.” Set aside two hours each week to just work on the business. Block everything out and reserve this time to concentrate on what is happening in the company. Focus on where you want to go with the business, and, perhaps, take some time to maybe dream a little.
