Each year, a mammoth amount of businesses close up shop for good.  Many times, it is due to starvation - not enough business coming in.  What many don’t see, however, is the fact that a number of businesses shut down because of burn out.

As an Entrepreneur, your passion for getting started in the first place was due to your love of creating something desirable and profitable, right?  If you spend countless hours playing phone tag with clients, playing with the budget, chasing outstanding bills, and other things not related to your passion, it is easy to see the grass being greener on the other side.  Oftentimes, this masterpiece of a business that entrepreneurs have created for themselves can quickly seem like an inescapable jail cell, loaded with stress and sleepless nights.

Does this describe you?  If not, it probably describes someone you know.

As a business owner, you may find yourself getting lost in the day-to-day operations of working *in* your business, as opposed to working *on* your business.  What is the difference?

Working in your business means that you are doing the tasks needed, such as delivering projects, doing accounting work, etc.

Working on your business means that you are trying to grow it through means of streamlining business processes, coming up with new marketing strategies, and so on.

As an Entrepreneur, you want to spend as much time possible on being the person that works on your business.  If you don’t, who will?  (That is, unless you have hired a business development  specialist!)  Structuring your time to put yourself in a position to develop your business instead of doing the mind numbing busy work is a way to best leverage your efforts for maximum growth.

Working on your business also helps you to step back and look at everything as a whole.  It helps you gain your equilibrium again, and quickly chops down burn out.
