If you're a hard core marketer like me, I'm sure you were raised in the business to be an always on, never say no kind of professional.

The tough thing to admit is that we tend to take more on (e.g., jobs, responsibilities, tasks) than we have the time, resources to complete them.

And, then when you miss hard to meet self imposed deadlines – even though your intentions were good – your trust bank deposits begin to be cashed and your balance drops significantly.

Take a bit of time to slow down, regroup, focus on your key clients (you may have to fire a few!).

Underpromise, overdeliver, become a trusted advisor – building genuine trust is key – and watch your business grow..
