If you don’t do it in moderation, it will kill your time.

Great tips, thank you! We must share the same “you should work for free” clients. ;)

Along those same lines, one of the largest time drains in my business is spent responding to clients, whether by voice or email. I know I easily lose 2 or 3 hours a day doing that – it would be ok if that time were generating income, but most of the time, it’s answering repetitive questions that I’ve answered before or troubleshooting silly problems. Maybe I need to grow a spine and tell them each communication is at a consulting rate. hmmmm
