A short first-person business reflection (YouTube monologue) describing the speaker’s first nine months after joining a business. The speaker spent the initial ~4–5 months organizing contracts, processes, and hiring a trusted technician so they could shift from working in the business to working on it. After putting operations in place and focusing on sales and marketing (targeting existing clients), the business ‘took off.’

So I joined in May last year. So it hasn't been quite a year. It's been about nine months. The first four or five months, I truly spent focusing on the business itself, getting my contracts in order, getting my processes in order, because up until then, everything was in my head, and I was a really good computer guy. And it's the same stuff I've been doing for 30 years. And truthfully, it doesn't work anymore. It will not keep my clients safe. And. And I had to make sure that I had a technician on staff that I could trust, that I could trust with the day to day, so I could focus on working on the business instead of in the business. And so once I got finished with that and started to focus on sales and marketing and targeting existing clients, that was when everything took off.
