16 Jun A Day In The Life of Steve Dolson, Founder of BenchMRK Digital Agency

Posted at 11:40h in Blog by

When it comes to being an entrepreneur, it’s all about headspace and work pace.

Instead of the typical 9-to-5, I work on a more elongated schedule. Something that has more catch points, but also more thinking and reflecting the time. I find that I need to think things through to have the best quality output for our work.

This is a typical day, hope you enjoy or if you are looking to be an entrepreneur, consider this as a template if you are curious.

The Bottom Line

When it comes to my day it always changes, sometimes we have big video projects, content turnarounds or website projects that put us into more of a blitz mode. But, this would be a typical day if things were to go as planned. However, with social media marketing, my phone is always on, I’m always in tune with what’s happening that day, so even though there are designated periods for certain things, I am always posting for other clients based on their content calendars and planned deadlines.

How does your day differ? Are you more of a night owl? Does your schedule look similar to mine?
