The Shrink for Entrepreneurs

MARCH 5, 2012

Wake up at noon. Wipe last night’s cereal crumbs from your keyboard. That’s why I always show up for phone consults with clients (they’d notice if I didn’t) but struggle to work on the sales copy for the new service I’m launching soon. Present your budge, P&L and expenses to your team. Ah, freedom!

In many cases you may not even have to get up from your chair with instantly downloadable ebooks and audiobooks. I like to use Excel to analyze purchases, plan expenses and analyze different investments. Start by learning a few Excel keyboard shortcuts to navigate in Excel faster. Use your library for the amazing tool it is.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

Mostly because of all the time spent on Excel doing expenses for Executive’s that had that habit of chucking months and month’s of receipts at me with no idea where they came from or what they were for.

Since I got in at 9 and my boss was in an hour before me, I knew he had probably seen it already so decided to suck it up and just go in and ask him. He wrote in one sentence that he had " expensive experience" instead of "extensive" and in another wrote "tits" instead of "its." Let your fingers do the walking: Quick keyboard sh.

He wrote in one sentence that he had "expensive experience" instead of "extensive" and in another wrote "tits" instead of "its." For fun, one of the officers asked me to put my name and birthdate in to see what came up. LOOK UP, LOOK DOWN : While an EA was talking to the CEO, her skirt slipped down and landed at her feet.

The fact that he is still slightly amazed about his fame makes his posts interesting, in that he brings up questions that I think we should all ask ourselves. I really can’t screw up too badly. It’s fun, but it’s not like I sit at my keyboard, occasionally throwing my arms into the air and squealing, “Wheeeeeee! I’m writing!”

We need to listen to one another and see if those new ideas have merit, or if they open up any other possible courses of action. It’s up to us to stop allowing others to make decisions for our industry, our careers, and our lives, both as a group and as individuals. We Can Wake Up a Bit It’s not like we have a choice, you know.

And then you graduated, spent some time in the real world and ended up working in a field that was wildly different from the one you’d studied. That’s what you should be playing up. Of course my on-the-job experience was invaluable too, but the things I picked up at University are embedded in a different way.
