How do you keep up? I own an accounting firm, have 3 employees and over 100 clients. I worked on a project management system for months that didn’t work how it was intended. So we are having one being built out. We are piecing things together for now. But I just can’t keep up!

When I first started my business over 10 years ago, I gave clients my cell number because it was just me. I have so many clients texting and calling me directly I can hardly get anything done. I can’t turn it off because of my kids school.

I have been delegating as much as I can. But even for me to review stuff. I am just behind. I wish I could work after hours so I could actually get stuff done.

Idk what I am needing, I guess more venting. But I’ll take any advice you’ve got!

Looks like you need to hire a high-level assistant. It would help you a lot by taking small but time-consuming tasks off your shoulders. For the custom solution you're getting built, did you hire individual contractors or a full agency? It might get overwhelming to handle communication with individual contractors.

I hired my IT company. It’s a small company, but the owner and I have a great relationship, he knows my business well. So he and his team are building it out. But I’ve only had communication with him about it.

Got it, that’s the best thing about hiring dev shops I think. From a CEO perspective you can just have communication with one person and he’ll make sure that you get what you want.
