Let\u2019s say you\u2019re doing something that you hate to make money. You don\u2019t like it, even a little \u2013 but you do it because it brings a paycheck. Instead of continuing because you want to make some cash, change your strategy \u2013 and change it today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Change Your Focus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, look at the literature and website of your company. What don\u2019t you enjoy doing? If you have a distinct answer, remove it from your website. You may think this will start to lose you business, but in reality, it should start to pick up. If you truly enjoy the kind of work you do, then it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll produce better quality writing, and people will enjoy your services more (which means more referrals and more business overall). You\u2019ll also find new excitement in every project you take on because you know it\u2019s not going to be a miserable assignment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Narrow the Kind of Client You Take on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of constantly trying to expand the kind of service you do as a small company, don\u2019t be afraid to narrow your niche. If you do one thing better than another, it\u2019s important to appeal to that strength and use it to build your company. There\u2019s always time for expansion later when you can hire someone else to do that thing that you dislike doing. For now, stick to what you enjoy. You\u2019ll find you\u2019ll be much more productive.<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/sitesdev.net\/articles\/2012\/10\/19\/dont-spend-your-days-working-on-something-you-hate\/' rel='nofollow'>Used with permission from Article Aggregator<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The worst thing you can do for yourself and your company is doing something, over and over again, that you hate.
