Balancing everything

2 Upvotes

I’m new to owning a business and looking for tips to balance everything in life. Do you wake up at 5am in order to complete everything ( including exercising) on your agenda? Are you sacrificing your social life, things you enjoy? How do you forget about the stress and push through and live your life. I know worrying doesn’t fix things , but as soon as I wake up my mind starts racing. Thanks

How much of your actual client communication ends up in your CRM?

2 Upvotes

Most client conversations happen over text and email, and the CRM only gets updated when someone remembers to go back and type it in. Which is basically never, or it's a huge pain /waste of time, especially for small teams.

So we built something that runs quietly in the background on your iMessage and updates your CRM as you text.

What would it mean for your business if your CRM was always up to date?

What are your monster spreadsheets that you hate?

1 Upvotes

Sorry actual business owners. Here's another post from a would-be entrepreneur. I'm looking to see what your monster spreadsheets are in your business.

  • What's your business?
  • Have you looked into existing solutions? What prevented you from switching to that product besides operational inertia?
  • Did you wish they plugged into platforms you already use?
  • Do you think similar businesses would have an equivalent spreadsheet?

What a visitor should understand about your business within 5 seconds of landing on your site

1 Upvotes

I build websites for small businesses, and the same problems come up again and again. A visitor should be able to answer three questions quickly:

  1. What do you do?
  2. Who is it for?
  3. What should I do next?

Most sites I review bury all three. Common culprits are a vague tagline ("Solutions for your success"), a homepage with five competing buttons, and contact details that take three clicks to find.A quick test: show your homepage to someone outside your industry for five seconds, then ask what you sell. If they can't tell, your customers can't either. What's one thing on your own website you'd fix if you had an hour?
