We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
Without question almost every home business owner hasstruggled with time management. Working from home has many perks, but along with the perks come distractions. Those distractions if left unchecked can destroy your business. So, how do you find a balance between home life and home business life? In its simplest form, the answer can be boiled down to how you manage your time. Realistically, its about doing the right things when the right things need doing. Read that last sentence over again and really let it sink in. Do the right things when the right things need doing. That leads us to the next obvious question. How am I going to know what the right thing to do is and when to do it? The key to that answer can be found in the word ACTION. A-AWARENESS You have to be consciously aware of what needs to be done. Take the time to put a plan together for your business. A well prepared plan gives you the ability to see if you are on track or not. Not too many people would leave on a cross country road trip without a map and a destination in mind. Along with that, most people would have ideas on where they might stop along the way, and a holiday budget. Why would you run your business with no map, destination, ideas or a budget? Think about what your business will need, where you want your business to go, and what you need to do. Be AWARE of what needs doing. C-COMMITMENT Be committed to your business. Once again, the road trip holiday can provide us with some ideas. If you left on a road trip holiday with no plan, and werent committed to getting to a destination, would any of your friends be surprised if you didnt successfully complete the trip? Of course not. Without a commitment to your business, you will fail. Make a COMMITMENT and see your plan through to completion. T-TENACITY Have tenacity to persist and see it through. Back to the road trip. If you get a flat tire, do you give up and go home? Not likely, you fix it and continue on. Dont allow little things to stop you from the big things you have planned for your business. Focus on your goals and plans and be persistent. Have TENACITY and dont give up. I-INGENUITY Use ingenuity to find the workable way. When an obstacle appears, pull out your road map (or plan), take a look at it and see if there are other routes available that will keep you on track to your destination. Seek advice from the locals (or other people in home businesses similar to yours). Your ability to use INGENUITY will directly affect your business success. O-OBJECTIVITY Use objectivity for an undistorted perspective. Take a break, a breather, step back, clear your head every now and again to maintain your objectiveness in making decisions for your business. Take a moment to survey the lay of the land on your road trip, it will make travel much easier. OBJECTIVITY gives you the ability to see things in your business clearly. N-NAVIGATE Navigate a manageable pathway. If the vehicle youre taking on a road trip has marginal brakes, dont plan a route that takes you through the highest mountains!! Know what your limits are and what you can do. Navigating a manageable pathway to your destination betters your chances for business success! There you have the home business keys to taking purposeful ACTION. Ill leave you with one final thought Energy without ACTION is power without purpose!
