At a meeting earlier today I asked a client why she was doing things in a certain way. She replied that she had to do things like that. I went deeper and asked her why to which she didn't really have an answer.
It's a pretty hard thing to get your head around but when you run a business, it's your business - no one elses and you say what goes. When you run your own business, you really do start each day with a blank piece of paper and it's up to you how you fill it.
Yes, there may be consequences if you don't do things, but make sure before you agree to any task or put any job down on your to-do list that you're 100% happy with it. If you're not, all that will happen is that it will stay on your to-do list and not get done. You'll put it off week after week until eventually it doesn't have to be done anymore.
Remember, it's your business. You say how it's run and what's ok and what's not. That means if you want to go out for a walk at 2pm in the afternoon, you can and if you don't want to take on a particular client you don't have to.
After all, that's why you started this business isn't it? To have freedom and enjoy life. Make sure you do!
