Remember that little things add up. Always look at the big picture and organize your time and money around that. The smart entrepreneur knows that time is more valuable than money. You can never buy more time so manage it well by prioritizing your projects. If you make a list of what needs to be done daily, you'll get more accomplished.

If you think you may need to get a second line, you can try it out by getting a second residential line which is less expensive to install and maintain than a business line. Then if you want to convert it to a business line in the future, the changeover fee will be less than a new business installation fee.
