Hey there,

Early on, I would do whatever work came my way. I found out very quickly that if I took on work I didn't like, it always went last on the priority list and didn't end up getting done in a timely manner. After a very embarrasing apolog to a client, I decided that I would refuse to take on work that sounded boring AND I'd let the client know right away if I found myself NOT wanting to do the work. It really narrowed down the kind of work I accepted, which helped me focus my business.

Now, I have a team that does the work they ENJOY doing. I don't do the work, but we still haven't expanded back into those "boring" things I was asked to do in the beginning. Most of what I do now is what I'm best at...strategizing, prioritizing and advising the clients. There are certain tasks I enjoy doing; graphics manipulation, some research, playing with new technologies, social networking etc... I occasionally take on those tasks when my clients are quiet and I have a few moments.

The tasks my clients usually come in wanting are:

Designing a newsletter and setting up the autoresponders

Ecourse setup

Article Marketing

Social Networking setup and management

Blog design, setup and management

Website redesign and managment

These are all processes in tasks that I love working with.

Create a great day!
