When you start planning to do something like this there is a tendency to think you can spend all your time on the project.

And a tendency to think that the business is going to stop while your are converting.

But that’s just not true. Unless you can get the the changeover done in one day, you still need to release blog entries. You still need to drive traffic. You still need to deal with work not yet complete.

All the little things that continue to need your time while you’re busy doing something else.

And don’t try to hold up the blog. Remember it is a key source of traffic and without traffic you don’t have a business. So keep the blog going.

Lesson Learned #6:

Don’t Forget That The Business Is Going Ahead Without You

Even though you’re busy trying to change some element of the business you need to allocate time to the business.

You need to keep up blogs and other traffic sources. You need to keep your new courses and continuity programs going.

So don’t forget to allocate time for ongoing operations. And don’t try to shut down anything.
