Since I became a “company of one” this past January, I have been far busier than I had estimated when I wrote out my business plan. I guess that is a good problem, but it has taken me 10 months to get things under control and fit within my new five-days-a-week schedule (no more working Saturdays, Sundays, or evenings). I have been one of the fortunate few who have always enjoyed working. The building industry is interesting and challenging, and you meet a lot of nice people along the way throughout your career. At 65 years young, however, I decided to make sure I was also increasing my time on those other things that mattered outside of work while keeping busy with what I do.
With the job going well and with business partners to pick up the load, I have finally made time to address some other work-related duties I’ve neglected, beginning with overhauling my website at www.buildingsmartsoftware.com. These days, having your own website is not unusual. You don’t need to be a large company to be able to afford to keep your website up and running. Others choose Facebook and/or communicate through Twitter, but for me, a website is enough wireless technology to stay connected and in communication with others beyond my day-to-day interaction.
