The biggest challenge entrepreneurs have is staying focused. They are usually idea people and new ideas occur out of thin air and distract them. There is only one way to focus and that is to make a daily action list. Nothing is going to happen unless you take ACTION.
New Years Eve I realized that my resolutions have been the same for the past 8 years. I knew I had to start focusing if I was going to be a successful entrepreneur. My mentor introduced me to the Might Club which taught me to make a daily action list of the three most important activities to take that will get me to my business goals. Each activity can only take 30 minutes so that I am focused on the task at hand. It is amazing how much I get done in one hour. I find I am now focused and my sense of being overwhelmed is going away. I have been doing this three days a week for the past three weeks and each time I finish I feel really good. The process that I used to get focused is as follows:
At the end of the day I:
- make a list of all the activities I need to take the next day to be successful in my business. I pick three that will make the biggest difference for your business.
- look at my list and check off the actions that you took the day before.
- write down the feelings I have about taking those actions. I ask myself if I felt successful or did I feel bad?
- If I felt good knew I was on the right track.
- If I didn't feel good about the action taken I ask myself what was it about the activity that did not feel good? Was it fear? Maybe I really had no desire to do it.
The next morning I pick three more actions based on the information provided by my inner guidance system.
We all have an inner guidance system that tells us when we are doing what is best for us and that is our gut. Check it out. Close your eyes and think about the last thing you did that made you feel happy. That is the feeling you should have about everything you do. I base all of my decisions on how I feel. I pay attention to my gut. Is it uneasy or does everything feel right? I am learning to trust my instincts and to take actions that successful entrepreneurs take so I will reach my goals.
I dare you to take ACTION and inspire the success in yourself.
