The bonus of a 48-hour policy is that your schedule is smoothly planned out in a way that lets you pay attention to all your clients so that each person gets the best of you. No more dropping work to put out fires.

Those blogs are worth their weight in gold (unless you’re the kind who learns from the School of Hard Knocks). It’s hard to learn as much from the ‘perfect’ bloggers – and their message eventually starts to sound like a string of platitudes. However, it’s not a good thing either to be sloppy.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too.

So they try to be do-it-yourselfers, learning from blogs, ebooks, and other sources of free information.
