The Craft and the Business of Your Firm

I've heard it from so many professionals that they love what they do but hate the business aspects of their practices. The doctor loves doctoring but hates marketing. The lawyer loves lawyering but hates dealing with hiring issues. The IT consultant loves IT consulting but hates fiddling with the money and taxes.

One of the reasons that the Rolling Stones is a successful band is that, besides playing good stuff, the y are also shrewd businesspeople and manage their money really well.

Hopefully this article will give you some inspiration why it's a good idea to pay attention, above and beyond the craft of your business, to those "business things" as well.
