  • The One Man Band Sabotages Your Client Communication

    28 Apr 2008 10:18 AM | Anonymous

    Ever seen a "One Man Band" at a circus or fair. They're fascinating. They stand in one spot, and play an entire song while the audience admires their talent. I think the "One Man Band" performance is exhausting to watch, especially if its being done by an overworked self-employed service professional. You see, if I'm not good, or even great at a task, I don't even do it. I outsource it. If you feel like you are doing to many things around the office, then don't miss this article. Read on and enjoy! ~ Kim
