i’ve been reading a lot of self-help books lately and while i’m learning some good stuff one of the things that pops out is that many of
these authors don’t work in the corporate world. now do i blame them – heck no … but when your
self-employed there are two very significant differences: 1) you determine your work hours &
schedule and 2) generally if you’re self-employed your primary focus is split
between getting new/more work and doing the work that you currently have. there isn’t a lot of “people leadership” that
the self-employed have to be responsible for. additionally by nature their lives can be more simplistic since they are
generally working on 1-4 projects at a time. again this is something that is just so alluring. iI often feel daunted by the 15-20 projects my
team is taking on in a given week or month and also the difficult combination
of production (getting the work done) and coaching the people who get the work
done. it’s a lot … on top of my home
& family life.
so how do we juggle it? do you think it’s possible to “have it all”? have you found any books on productivity for being a manager & a mom?
