Aunty B: Deadlines freak me out – please help!

Dear Aunty B,

I work in the sales industry and I have recently set up my own business in a bid to achieve a better work-life balance. As a sole trader, now everything falls on my shoulders and the prospect of not meeting an important deadline for a new client is freaking me out. 

I know deadlines are an unavoidable part of being a business owner so I’m hoping you might have some advice.

Dear Carly,

First of all, let me say congratulations on joining the small business community. Owning your own business will be one of the hardest, but more rewarding, things you do.
