I’d tried all kinds of things to increase my impact with mixed results. But everything changed when I discovered the Theory of Constraints and applied it to my work.

In my last post What’s so different about being a small business programmer? I discussed the challenges and tremendous opportunities available to small business programmers. If you haven’t read that post, please take a minute and read it (I’ll wait). In this post, we’re going to find out if you’re ready for a change.
A small business programmer faces different challenges and opportunities than programmers working for tech start-ups or larger organizations. They generally have less support and fewer resources than programmers working in other kinds of businesses. But they have more freedom to influence the course of the business and determine their own destiny.
