That sounds SO FAR AWAY when we’re thinking about entertaining, holiday shopping and year-end activities.

As a small, home-based business my budget has always been pretty tight. Although it worked, that meant that I was constantly getting business communication even on weekends and holidays. I was totally surprised at how much stress this took off my shoulders and how much more I enjoyed my weekends and holidays.

So the economy gets bad, the company loses customers, and the budget tightens up. You have to be disciplined with money, a skill many writers don’t have.

As well, it’s always a good idea to budget more time and resources to a project than you think is necessary to lessen the stress of unexpected setbacks. Trust the skills and judgement of your team and resist the temptation to hover over people to ensure every little task or decision is on target. Set boundaries.

Holiday Season Kicks Off – 2 Weeks in Review! They have a budget. A chance to show off all of my skills and convey the sense that “hey, I can do this for you too.&# We just have to factor in a superannuation plan when we write up our business plans and budgets. And I’m not too worried about it either.
