Entrepreneurship is a demanding yet fulfilling journey. By leveraging the knowledge, insights, and best practices of those who have been there, you can navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship with greater ease and increase your chances of success.

As a seasoned business consultant, Sarah Durbin has developed proven strategies to help businesses run smoothly. For example, if your company is experiencing a surge in growth, how do you know if it's time to hire additional staff? Sarah recommends evaluating performance to determine if employees are overworked since productivity will suffer if they're wearing too many hats. Your people need a company culture that fosters collaboration and enhances morale, which is also crucial to building a thriving business. Continuously developing and refining standard operating procedures (SOPs) is essential to ensure clear business processes. Business owners often have much to juggle, and distractions can present a significant challenge, so Sarah suggests structuring and protecting your calendar to ensure you can manage everything from client calls and business issues to family time.
