Working to Much

I have been working way to much as of late. I run a small technology business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and have been in business over 5 years. The first 3 of those years, I was a one man band. In 2005, I brought a business partner and 2 additional employee's since then.

I must say I thought adding additional employee's would help. It has not worked out that way. It has just lead to more work. In addition to the clients that I provide consulting to, I have to also manage 2 of those employee's. Management is not one of the things that I enjoy. It is like having kids. This leads to add hours.

We have also added a bunch of new services this year and I have a bunch more kicking around in my head, but I want to make sure we put the finishing touches on what we rolled out.

I have also started marketing by sending out a monthly newsletter, post cards and sales letters. I am also buying google adwords to try and drive traffic to my site.

But I have realized that I have taken to much on and I don't do anything but work. I need to change that. When you work to much, you start losing touch with the outside world. I use to have numerous hobbies, but I have time for none of them. Anyway, after this month (I have every day booked with client appointments), I am going to take some time for myself and my family. My Kids are growing up fast and if I don't do this now, I am going to regret it for the rest of my life.
