1. Generate results.
Ever invest your time looking over Facebook or Instagram when you should be handling that big, daring goal, or settling on that business decision, or composing the following page of your mind-boggling book?
If you want to crush your goals, stop confusing activity with return on investment. You were made for more than counting clicks or obsessing on social media comments. Focus instead on the things that will not get a “share” but a customer, because your time, talent and money are too precious to be wasted. If it’s not going to bring you customers, don’t do it.
2. Nobody is brought into the world as an expert.
The fear that you aren’t good enough or don’t know enough has stopped too many talented people from moving forward.
No one was born knowing how to do all of this business stuff. You can be a published author and may have written a weekly blog for 14 years, which 70,000+ people visit each month, and yet you will still need a thesaurus to polish up my pieces or you’d use the words “cool,” “awesome” and “very” 7,456 times in each post. Get skills and training when and where you need it. But don’t let a detour in the road stop you from reaching your final destination.
3. You are not supposed to be an expert on everything
Some people may suck at bookkeeping. What’s more, HR administrative work. Furthermore, visual communication. There are things some people totally love to do that come normally to them – talking in front of an audience, composing, instructing other entrepreneurs. These are not a mishap. They are some people’s natural superpowers and what they were was made to do.
At the point when someone decides to invest their energy in their preferred field, they are instantly more joyful, more effective and can serve more individuals. What are your obsessions? What do you love to do? How might you invest more energy doing those things and agent the rest?
4. Always try to complete you goals and then move on to the next
As entrepreneurs, we tend to enjoy the start of something, when it is new and full of ideas and possibilities. But we also tend to give up when it gets harder, more boring and task driven. It is then that we are prone to jump into another project so we can find the fun again. Yet, starting a bunch of projects that never get completed is not going to give you anything to show for your hard work.
It requires an incredible amount of discipline and self-control to stay focused and on task. But the rewards are worth it. Get an accountability partner if you need to. Plan a reward at the end if it helps. Tell your best friend to post your most salacious secret on social media if you don’t get it done. Do whatever you have to in order to stop starting and start finishing.
