Giving Up Time for Clients
Last week I had those two clients come back as I told you. I described how my mornings are scheduled to work at my own web businesses, right? Well, the one job left with me was to upgrade the client’s computer with a DVD burner and 1 GB of RAM memory, plus to get it up so she could use dial-up from their rural address to access the internet.
Well! the first two items were easy. Once I had bought the parts it took only 15 minutes to install them. I’d also bought an external modem because I thought the internal one (which works well with Windows) would give us problems. Sure enough. I spent almost all of the rest of last week on modem setup. Neither the soft-modem or the external modem want to work. I’ve researched and tried a number of things, and am still stuck, but the error messages for the external one give me hope that it’s a matter of learning how to do the setup correctly. I took a break from it over the weekend, but am hoping and praying I can solve the problem soon this week. Perhaps even today!
One of the things I did yesterday was make lists of what I need to do next for my web businesses, and I’m eager to get back to them.
If you aspire to be a business owner, take note. Client work means focusing on their needs. An information web site business means you have only yourself to answer to, and you can set your own standards and pace. Of course, if your business includes helping clients you have to learn to give up your time.
