We’ve used FunctionFox’s TimeFox web-based time and project management tools for years and love it. Their new TimeFox Premier release has added handy functionality such as task management, to-do lists, calendar and scheduling tools, timeline overview, project blogs, email alerts and iCal integration—things we’d been hoping and asking for for sometime.
But that’s not what this post is about.
FunctionFox also regularly publishes a great newsletter and resource centre on their site containing terrific articles about issues creative professionals and firms face on a daily basis. For example, they recently posted an article entitled Balancing Your Business by Heather West that examines issues such as how many clients should you serve? In what categories? Or where?
As a small, but growing agency ourselves, we find we need to regularly re-evaluate our client mix and clarify our understanding of who our ideal clients are. It can be tough, but deciding when its time say no to some clients and good bye to others is a crucial step in growing your business and focussing on what you’re good at, what makes you happy and what makes you profit. This informative article shares some wisdom on this important topic that we should all take to heart—I know I do.
