“... it's also essential to accept that we ultimately ARE in control of our own businesses. We should know our boundaries and where and when we can bend and where and when to draw a firm line.”
“Sometimes our control is limited to saying no, but I believe it's important to be aware that we're still in control of that. Another thing we control is how much effort we put into activities that generate more business.”
“ If anyone depending on this work for their livelihood isn't willing to have firm guidelines for their business that ensure profitability, then they're in the wrong field. (That's the problem with having a 'side-gig' mentality...) Something isn't always better than nothing.”
These are wise words. Your approach toward running a profitable business, is spot on. And I believe it can be applied toward any business. As I shift into a new business for myself, I will carry your outlook forward.
