How we should divide our time?

I have been thinking that as an entrepenuer, we should spend most time in strategic and tactical thinking and planning. Then in cashflow planning, budgeting and financing. Then in marketing, and lastly in operations. However, as a small time entrepenuer, I am always trapped doing operations. Not to forget, R&D is critical too.

I guess I enjoy doing operations and R&D. I guess I always know what needs to be done in operations and R&D. However, I know less on which components that are practical for business thinking, cashflow management and marketing. I guess there are thousands and thousands of components that you can think about, but which of those do really matters.

I have been running a small company for several years, but I still don't have the passion of doing business planning, cashflow management and marketing as the passion I have of doing R&D.

I pray to God to pick up this passion as I move on. I pray that I can spent countless hours on business planning, financing and marketing as I can really spent for R&D.

May God help me.
