It’s a learning curve….
Business is not easy and there is a steep learning curve with all aspects of it. What we have found recently is that this is a responsibility that has to be undertaken by yourself and no one else.
We have over the past few months had some really challenging projects, demands can be un realistic but it is important to explain when a demand is that. everyone has timeframes but you can’t accommodate their poor time management at the expense of your schedule.
We have fell for that mistake a few times now and basically it has not worked out well. It is usually a situation where we do the work as a “favour” but end up getting criticised for the work we done. Over all the one time favour at our expense has turned “sour”.
The moral of the story is protect yourself in business, the learning curve is high and this has to be accounted for.
