Thought I would share one of those random thoughts that hit you about 3:00 in the morning.
In the corporate world there is something called working your inbox--which means you don't really have any goals or are working with any sense of urgency--you are just responding to the little day to day things that come up. Whatever email comes in that day sets your activities. You seem busy but you aren't really getting anything accomplished.
As we wade into Summer and business slows down (especially this year), be careful not to let this happen to you. Take advantage of the extra time to set some goals and do good things for your business (or your employees--or yourself). Try some things like reviewing your marketing efforts for effectiveness, updating your website, contacting your best customers and solicit their feedback, spruce up the shop, explore different ideas for pumping up revenue, etc.
You'll be amazed at how much you can get accomplished in three short months.
