My top 5 business quandaries (and some solutions, too)
By Aliza Sherman, on Wed May 7, 2008 4:16pm PDTAs a business owner, I have my share of questions and quandaries even though I'm also a business expert. My issues run the gamut and thankfully they aren't always the same ones because I do eventually find solutions -- either through other entrepreneurs, through social networking contacts, through a little research, through a bit of luck or a combination of these things.

Here are my Top 5 Business Quandaries, in no particular order.1. How do I handle a client who doesn't have any business boundaries?

When we are on the phone -- even if it should be a quick conversation -- he goes off on tangents, and the calls last over half an hour or more for no good reason. How do I draw firm boundaries without risking a good business relationship?
UPDATE: Parted ways with the client. Huge sigh of relief.
