| Article Title :: Over-Reviewing: Working On The Wrong Side Of The Bell Curve |
| |
| To preface, I look at the review process one goes through when analyzing anything as working on a bell curve.

| |
| Are your clients taking up to 60 days to pay their invoices? This is a very common situation and a significant cause of stress to many business owners.

• not answering my business phone after hours
• working only with clients I'm compatible with
For me, having my own business is a freedom and a privilege that I was unable to experience in the corporate world. As a business owner, I feel entitled to make my own decisions about how my business should be run. After all, I'm the boss!
