I thought I had a good understand of what needs to happen in a business. Such as getting clients, doing projects, getting paid and paying your bills. That seems like a good idea of a business. On the contrary that is just seeing the main things about a business but not the hard choices of a business. Where as, the unsaid things that actuality do run the business and keep it going.
Such as planning and working on strategies to further promote the business; keep it moving forward and growing. In a business there are many things that constantly need attention. Technology to keep updated such as software and hardware for computers and any printer or other technology items your business needs. New trends that you want to use that keeps you updated with the rest the world. Updating you print and web site items and having time around all you other client to do things for your own business.
Last is the space you are working in after time does that space still fit you with your current needs. Is it big enough, room to grow, and how efficient is that space to your needs. These are just a few things I have learned in the last couple weeks about understanding a business and how it runs.
