I recently went out with a friend of mine to get dinner and a drink in a historic part of Tampa called Ibor City.

And about an hour into dinner, a former client of my friends came over to our

table. He had just finished a business meeting of his own when he recognized my buddy and decided

to swing by and say hello. Now, we had also recently finished dinner, so my friend invited his

former client to sit with us and have another drink.

He accepted.

Now, if you're in business for yourself, then you know it doesn't take long before friendly conversation turns to business talk between entrepreneurs, and the same thing was absolutely

true for us.

The former client was trying to close two new deals at the same time, and he was struggling

because his team kept mixing the two clients up. They were sending project estimates and timelines

for one customer to the other, and vice versa. And it was confusing the two customers and turning

into a time suck for the client himself,

the owner who had to clean up his team's messes.

Now he kept telling me and my buddy, I have a resource problem.

He kept saying, my team can't handle these two projects at the same time.

So to fix this resource problem and to complete both projects,
