We often talk about small business owners, in particular freelancers, having to wear many hats: we’re our own boss, bookkeeper, marketing team, tech support person, administrative assistant, and more!
But how often do you really sit down and think about all these areas of your business?
In this episode of Smart Habits for Translators, we are having a conversation about conducting a business audit: why it’s important to check in with your translation or interpreting business regularly, what areas to look at, and, most importantly, how often.
This is an area that is often overlooked by many freelancers: we can get so much into the day-to-day needs of our business that we forget to take a holistic look at the bigger picture. So, we thought that sharing a sort of roadmap today might be helpful.
