It doesn’t matter if you have 40 hours a week to work on your business, or 4. The most important thing is that you put your whole focus into the work that you do, in the time that you have. If you can discipline yourself to do this, you will see growth.
Your business strategy might be similar to mine, or completely different. What it comes down to is, how do you spend the time that you have to work on your business? Where is your focus? Your strategy should be to focus on your highest goals, and put all your effort into working toward those goals.
