Greetings.
This probably sounds like a really dumb question. Or, maybe, like a good problem to have. But, just wondering (if you are a one-man engraving shop as I am) how do you handle having "too much" business? (Figure I can't be the only one in this boat?) I'll call my situation the "Goldilocks Syndrome". Too small. Too large. Just right. Remaining small, it's been a constant struggle to survive. (as has been my case 'till recently.) Trouble is: My days of wanting to run a "large" business, well, they are behind me now. (i.e. new 'n more equipment, hired help, etc.) Nowadays, I'm striving for the "just right" level; tough to maintain as more 'n more organizations are discovering me! ("Just Right" meaning: enough business that I'm not sweating bills - but, not so much that I don't have a "life" 'way from work: time with family, etc. This up-tick in business wouldn't be an issue if I could space projects out. But, as you know, people 'n organizations come running in needing their items yesterday! - the pressure on! And, to turn 'em away is to risk losing their business for good. Longer days, longer hours my only solution? Mostly, just wondering if, by chance, I am overlooking a different, more creative solution? Or, if I'm looking at this all wrong? Would appreciate your advice.
