Someone wise told me a couple of years ago that I should pay attention to what matters. As small business owners and entrepreneurs that is REALLY important on SO many levels! If you work from home, like I do, that line can blur and you may work too much or too little. You can jump around from project to project, never settling on one thing and finishing it. You can be hyper focused and neglect your family and friends or can “take time off” while still working in reality.
Well this week I focused – I took 5 days off! Sort of, well mostly, just popped in to check a few emails and did some keyword research but mostly spent time with my Dad in New York. It was great to be in the now and clear my head so that I can come back stronger than ever! It is really true that if you are never off you can never be on.
What are you going to focus on this week?
- Are you going to make a concrete business plan to guide the second half of this year?
- Are you going to make a budget for your business, setting revenue goals and making every expense accountable?
- Are you going to pick one project and follow it from start to finish?
- OR are you going to take a whole day off? No cheating, spend it with family, friends, or yourself doing exactly what you want. Do not answer your phone. Do not check your emails. I can guarantee that your business will not crumble, nor will the world come crashing to the ground!
This week I am going to be hyper focused on getting a niche started for small business owners AND finishing tasks that need to be done for our new bloggers. I am going to schedule time to work and time to play. I am going to make a budget (I hate that one) and I am going to have a GREAT week.
Disclosure: I wound up taking out doggies, chatting up my husband and got a cup of coffee while writing this…:) Don’t forget, you can get off track, just make sure to put it right back on the the rails when you do!
