You might be thinking that a week sounds like a long time, but in reality it’s usually less than 1-2 business days.
This is because a lot of businesses have a lot of in-person meetings and events that might take longer than a week. Some of these are due for approval, while others need a lot of approvals or the approval of someone to happen. Sometimes a person can’t handle the stress of such things and need to take a break.
Its important to note that when you read the 1-2 business day rule, you are referring to a day when business starts. Businesses usually start on Mondays, but this is an exception. Mondays usually have a lot of meetings and events. In fact, they are usually the busiest days of the week, but they can also be the most stressful ones.
We’ve all had that experience where you have the best intentions to make something happen, only to find that the first thing you actually have to do is get approval, or that you actually have to get approval from someone. Sometimes we miss that step and we end up with something that is not what we envisioned or wanted at all.
To avoid this, schedule something that requires a few extra steps and gets all the approval you need. It may seem like you are overconfident to think that your project is going to have a long and productive existence, but just getting started can be a lot more stressful than you think.
Business days are not very long in the industry. Even in the tech industry, they’re not long. In fact, they’re often shorter than they actually are.
Business days are often set by the company in question, not the product itself. This is because many companies schedule a few meetings to get your project off the ground, but theyll never actually get it fully up and running. You may have a great idea, but it might not get past the design phase. Or it may get rejected at various stages of the process because the product is too new or too big.
1-2 business days is a common time frame, but I can’t help but think that it may have a different meaning for many companies these days.
In many companies you probably aren’t supposed to schedule meetings with clients just to tell them about the project. Companies like Amazon, Google, and eBay want to hear about the project before they decide to hire you or buy it. This is because they dont want to pay for a project that they dont know exists and doesn’t really have a lot to do with their business.
Many of us are used to being told “just 3-6 months to get this project done,” and that may still apply, but companies are generally looking for something longer than that. Google is a prime example. The algorithm they use to determine what will be featured in search results changes daily, so they want to keep it pretty consistent.
