Hello fellow FLMs!
I'm Ross from sunny South Wales and I've been reading (well, listening to) unscripted for the last few weeks. I've read most of FLM but I'll be going back to it when I'm done with the rest of unscripted . They're good!
I've run an IT business in South Wales for almost 10 years now (10 in Sept 2019). It's doing good, growing (slowly) year on year, and makes me a nice income - six figures in US $.
It's hard work through. A typical day involves sales, HR, payment chasing, staff 1-2-1s, account management, technical work, project management, marketing, chasing, dealing with complaints, pay reviews, tax planning, managing workloads, building systems, managing systems, etc, etc, you get the drift.
My business is good, but it takes up so much time and headspace it's unreal. It's also a bit of a thankless task since we deal with keeping systems up and running - there's not much thanks when it's working, but can be complaints when it's not.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate some advice on adopting the FLM mindset. My goals are either:
Change or adapt my business so it doesn't take as much time to manage / work in. I think this would be very difficult. OR;
Setup another business that takes less of my time to fulfil. Ideas on a postcard. I'll finish the rest of FLM and come up with some ideas.
