CHAPTER

How to Run a Service Business Calmly

You can run a service business calmly, just fire bad clients. Work towards reducing manual work by productizing services and outsource particular chores to AI-enabled systems or gig workers on platforms like Fiverr that can turn your agency from a chaotic frenzy into this temple of serenity. If you run a media business, it can be run calmly too, focus on quality of quantity and trust that leaving traces of your work has a higher impact than more immediate metrics. A sponsor with a long-term vision will choose a calm and reliable business over the one that might or might not go viral. Calmness is about staying in control of your life, your business and your future.
