Hi, my name is Tara and I am a chronic worker! I work on weekends, evenings and even sometimes during business hours. I fret when I am not working for my clients. I fret when I am not working for me too!
 I hear all the time that you should spend time working ON your business (lead generating, developing marketing materials, doing your accounting, doing your business plan, networking, researching new products, etc.) It is REALLY easy to say and not so easy to do!
Who out there spends as much time on their “stuff” as they should – not me for sure. The worst part is that I KNOW that lead generating and marketing work – it is what I do for other people!
SO…today I am making a stand. I am telling me what to do! I am going to time block for my business! (I know, I can hear the groans from here people, who has time to work on their business?!?!?!) But if I never try I will surely fail!
I need to do my case studies page – it WILL be done (mostly) by Thursday. THIS Thursday, not some stray and random Thursday in the future.
What do you need to do for your business. What is the one thing that would make the most difference to your lead production, your productivity or even just your quality of life? Can it be done by Thursday?!?!?! Make it so!

But Tara,,,,,that’s what we hire you for isn’t it!! LOL Actually what really scares me is that I even avoided reading the blog for a few days because I saw your title and I knew I would get the case of the guilts. And also I do not even know what the heck a “case studies page” is, never mind if I need one!
Congratulations on your stand! I am very proud of you! And I greatly appreciate you being my personal cheerleader also and inspiring me to do better every day!

I work in a profession where you just can’t not do your stuff. Over the years I have learned that for me, a hard mental push is usually required in the beginning- often for a few days. And that’s a struggle, but once in the middle of working hard, I really enjoy it, and it becomes worth the initial push. My ten cents worth.
