Does college get into the way of your business?

For all you college goers here, does it ever get into the way of your business?

For example, do you ever get a phone call from a (presumed) important client/potential client in the middle of class? Or you realise there is something urgent to be done in the middle of a college day?

How did you deal with it?

Could I have grown my business faster if not in school, of course! Will it be work it to have a Univ degree... yeah!

Get a cell (or land line) with call display and voicemail. Check them often and call back as soon as possible. Most of the time, if a client needs to wait 1 hr for a reply they will not have a problem.

If the call is really urgent, you can always leave class for a few minutes to call back immediately.

I think one of the major things is to have/develop excellent time management skills. If school is consistently delaying your ability to complete work, clients will not be happy. You may need to cut back a bit on your work load.

Remember, you can always give up sleep.

j/j - Actually one of the most important things you can do is take 1 or 2 days/nights a week for yourself. You will be far more productive w. both work and school.
