Do You Let People Disrespect Your Time?


How do you manage your time? Do people take advantage of it?

If you’re an entrepreneur chances are some people don’t necessarily respect your time. Whether it’s because you work at home or because you own your own business, some people assume that it’s okay to ask for your time.

Obviously you have to judge who you do and don’t give your time to and attach priority as such. But in many cases the things you do for people during normal work hours would not be acceptable to a boss paying you very little money.

If you are struggling you might want to consider blocking yourself off during work hours.
