When things get busy
Posted in: Blog, Marketing by Paul McEwan on November 16, 2009
It’s good to have created business processes prior to creating a business. When things get busy it all gets done. That’s the goal right? Wrong.
Sure, getting things done is part of it but we’re a creative business so keeping a fun and stress free environment is key to keeping that creative juice flowing. How do other creative companies deal with the stress of getting things done and staying in business?
A single contractor working from home have a process for when things get busy: Stop taking work – or get swamped. When things slow down a large company might lay people off or worse, go out of business.
The way things are set up here enables us to expand when we need to step it up and it’s too easy to re-size when things slow down to even think of going out of business, (We’re here for the long haul). This means we aren’t ever stressed out of our minds being swamped or inflating billing to pay for all the overhead when things slow down. One thing stress does well is kill creativity.
We offer creative services so we set out to find ways of keeping creativity front and center. Creativity: That is our main goal and that’s one more reason we set ourselves up the way we have.
