Technical Burn Out

This is just actually only my own term for what is happening. What is actually burning out is me, due to so many technical problems with a super long to-do list. I can barely finish due to physical exhaustion. I have a web hosting, design and development business I can barely manage with the lack of the proper tool and with the presence of continuous growth. With this continuous growth I decided to make my 2007 a passing selling year and just concentrate on my systems.

  • My Billing System - I am buying AccountLabPlus, It can easily integrate with my whole hosting business, domain business, has a good trouble ticket system and will solve many of the billing headaches I have.
  • My Project Management System - I will working a lot with ActiveCollab, since this is powerful and fully opensource and will get my whole team on the learning curve of using this.
  • My Customer Support System - Although AccountLabPlus has a good trouble ticket system included with it, I will signup with a good VOIP company which I am undecided yet who I am going to sign up with and activate a 1-800 number and employ a home-based techsupport chick in the Philippines. Don’t know who yet also. And she will work on working hours of Pacific Standard Time.

Since I also work full time and I also do business full time after work, this is a real burnout. But what the heck, I need to face it. I’m just really burned out and working like a robot right now. Wish me luck with my managing efforts.
