Question: How do
I reach deadlines?
Answer: You can reach
deadlines by knowing how long tasks take and what is involved with doing them.
Do practice runs before you open your business, experiment with how long it
takes you to do the tasks you are going to offer. Know how long it takes you to
transcribe a 1 hour file, how long it takes to type up 20 pages of basic copy
typing, know how long it takes you to set up Facebook for a new client. Run
examples and note down how long tasks take.
When you feel a deadline is not reachable, negotiate,
you will be doing the work, so only you will know how long it takes to
complete. It is up to you as a business owner to tell your
client ‘this deadline is unreal’ and to explain what is involved within the
job. Many clients have no idea how long a particular job will take. They will
give you very unreasonable deadlines. Only you know what you are capable of and
what your limits are. This is often a problem with Transcription, the clients
do not know how long it actually takes to transcribe and often the deadlines
are tight but it is up to you, as you are doing the job to negotiate this with
the client, not the client to set this deadline for you. Simply explain what is
involved.

Question subject: Motivation
Question: What keeps you motivated while running your own
business?
Answer: What keeps me motivated is knowing that my marketing is
working and has kept on working since I started my business. Every time I have
an enquiry about my business I can see that my business details are out there
and being seen. It is motivating for me to get up every day and come to work as
I love my job and I never know what each day will bring, every day in my job is
different.
