I can relate to feeling overwhelmed while trying to grow my fractional CMO consultancy, and what helped me was implementing strategic time management by setting boundaries with clients and dedicating specific hours to business development. Leveraging tools like project management software streamlined my workflow, freeing up time to focus on scaling efforts. Additionally, shifting my mindset to prioritize high-value clients and delegating tasks when possible allowed me to regain control and foster sustainable growth.
