So this CEO Month, we’re talking red flags that your efficiency might not be what it should.

 

This week we’re covering one that’s BIG for me personally, and that’s things not happening like they should.

 

Work is falling through the cracks.

 

If you’re missing deadlines, can’t keep track of projects and have clients asking where a deliverable is (after the date you’ve promised…not just them being annoying) it might be a sign you need to make some changes.

 

The thing is, you shouldn’t be holding all this stuff in your head.

 

It shouldn’t depend on you functioning your absolute best or being on top of everything. Your systems and tools should be solid backup so you and your mind can rest when needed.

 

So if you’re past your capacity, or just think you’re relying too much on your own internal abilities to keep things afloat, maybe it’s time to check out some tools. These days, there are WONDERFUL tools available to freelancers, from CRMs, to project management, and productivity solutions. The hardest part is honestly finding what works best for you.

 

I’ve whittled mine down over the years and settled on a few that fit me and my needs. If you need help doing the same, come by the Academy boards and let’s talk it out!
