One of the most powerful business marketing tools out there is on paper. These include pamphlets, portfolios, and business cards. Using all of them is a plus, but business cards remain the cheapest (and arguably most important) way to market your business. Launching a business requires money from the start, and many may seek to cut corners and save whenever appropriate without sacrificing the integrity of their business. Plus, with inevitable changes to contact information and design for business cards, it is

It's a customer! They are enquiring about that widget they bought from you yesterday.
Will it do x and y?
So you explain that it will do x and y. And because you are focused on providing the ultimate customer service, you talk them through the steps on the phone. After all you need to go the extra mile, don't you?
You hang up and think "Another satisfied customer, but I wished they had read the owners manual before calling me!" You glance at your watch, then look at your diary and realize you are an hour behind schedule. Then there is a knock on the door…
Sound like your typical day? Full of unscheduled interruptions, and at the end of the day wondering where all the time has gone? You only managed to complete 10% of the stuff on your to-do list today?
So do you take yesterday's unfinished business and add it to today's business? Or just cross it off in your diary and try and catch up next week?
It's easy to get overwhelmed when this happens! The important stuff never gets done because you are constantly trying to deal with all the little stuff. We all know it's important to provide the best customer service, but taking on these interruptions in the belief that it will result in more referrals in the future, is a recipe for disaster.

It is scary to think about just how vulnerable each of us is in regards to identity theft. You may find yourself thinking about it once your wallet or purse has been lost or stolen. Anyone who has it can access your credit cards, PIN numbers, and social security numbers if they are in there. Other methods of getting such information include over the internet, the phone, watching people when they use an ATM, and going through other people’s trash.Protect yourself from Identity TheftMonitor

And it all comes down to the enforcement of your sensible time management. We all know there will always be interruptions and your time management should allow for those, within reason.
So how do you avoid the biggest killer of your business profits?
1) Plan your week before it starts. Block out your focused hours for marketing, research, administration, business planning, etc. But also allow limited time, to deal with interruptions and urgent matters, although these should be kept to an absolute minimum. Your business must run like a well oiled machine with no unexpected breakdowns.
2) Tell everyone around you, (yes, even your customers) when you are available and when you are not available. Remember, scarcity is a powerful marketing tool. Make yourself scarce.
3) Keep a record of all the interruptions and make it your goal to completely eliminate them by improving owner manuals, having an online manual with a frequently asked question area, changing systems or forms. You will notice a common thread with your interruptions and eventually you will be able to reduce them to a bare minimum.
4) Always plan any meetings for the end of the day. Meetings have a horrible habit of taking longer than they should. By scheduling them for the end of the day they will become focused and to the point, as everyone is keen to go home.
5) Remove the "I'm always available" sign.
