Time Management Tips for Business Owners

if not now whenBy: Joanna Guldin-Noll

These days, it seems like no one has time. We’re all busy, busy, busy. And that seems a little crazy, especially since we live in the most technologically driven era to date.

As a result of several years of this, I went on to earn a livelihood finding and fixing other people’s writing errors.

Over the years it has become apparent to me that there are many people who don’t share my belief in the importance of proofreading.
