What are they trying to accomplish?Employers often think they sho So wouldn't it make sense to focus as much of your time as possible on the things that produce the highest payoff. I don't know about you but most small business owners are do-it-yourself types and get sucked into doing the littlest silly work faster than you can say "Oh look, the copier is jammed again." If you want to achieve any of your goals and finally start making what you are worth then you’ve got to stop doing $5/hr work. Period. As you might have guessed by now, I believe that every business owner's highest payoff work, or best use of time, is any amount of time spent creating effective marketing. Here's a little math quiz that I suggest you play with to help drive home this point. Figure out how much money you make annually or, better yet, how much you want or need to make annually to achieve your dreams and goals. Now, divide that number by 2080. (That's the number you get if you work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year - I know, I know, you work 80 hours a week but just work with me here.)

It was right out of “War of the Worlds.” Hideous creatures with multi-legged covered torsos with shiny black exteriors and serrated mandibles that would crunch at anything in their path. It was a veritable army that I watched in horror as it moved at will toward all that I held near and dear. They must have been in the thousands, no, make that th As you might have guessed by now, I believe that every business owner's highest payoff work, or best use of time, is any amount of time spent creating effective marketing.

Online and electronic versions - pundits say - are the way to go. No editors or reporters want to receive printed press kits when they could have electronic versions. Right?Au contraire, mon fr?re!

So let's run some numbers. Let's say that you want to make $150,000 per year.
