    Here is one for you.... Time management how important do you rate it.
    Same with Stress management.

    Consider that time and stress management work together.

    How about priority management? That's where I tend to put my focus rather than time management as such.

    Given that I tend to be rather focused, the only stress management that works for me is breaks.

    I have recently done marketing pads for myself with this idea, ask Roelof he has seen them. PM with your email address and I will send a PDF with this on. It is based on the quadrants Top

    Ian, would you be willing to post that PDF to the links section, or if it is small enough just to this thread?

    Yay! It's not just me that has this system of time management.

    It's really p'ing me off that TFSA has had to slip down the list for a while, but it'll come back up the list soon

    Great thanks Ian,

    Priority management to me is basically Time/job management. Breaks dont stop the stress of everyone Dave.

    Would you hire someone to counter a Stressful issue (managing Staff,Training Staff etc)
    Or would you push through it and keep that stress with you making your business suffer during said time?

    This is the kind of stress management I'm interested in.

    Thanks for your input guys.

    I am actually in a very difficult situation. Finding people with my skill set is a very challenging task if at all possible. That is my first problem. The second is training someone is not truly practical, as it is the experience that is currently making my business a success.

    So I actually need to scale down my business in terms of Internet Marketing consulting. I am therefore going to diversify my business and scale down on the consulting services until I get to the point where I actually have trained staff that can assist me in the consulting game. I am completing 2 of my contracts this week, then I should be back in normal street, if there is something like that.

    Reading this thread again it is often the little detail on how to operate a business that can cause major problems. I really would like to see a well compiled list but somehow the little things can creep up behind you and next thing you know, ... slap! So how do you put those in a A-Z list?
