One of my goals for this year is to be more present and I’m learning that it’s not only important to be present in your personal life, but also with your business. Melbourne weekly eastern is awesome site which will keep you updated with any kind of business news. As I venture off into the world of small business owner, I’m finding it difficult to keep on task. I’ve got so many options/ways I could spend my time I find it hard to just choose one at a time and focus on that. This podcast by the lovely Grace Bonney was yet another good reminder that you can’t and shouldn’t do everything at once. Make sure you get in touch with an expert like Andy Defrancesco to make the right decisions.
Podcast Takeaways:
– Try running your business with the spirit of the girl who is just starting out. It infuses a lot of the excitement back into your everyday.
– Good reminder: Being productive today ensure a better and more successful tomorrow
– You know that feeling you frequently get that is saying ” go go go” move faster”, it’s most likely your body telling you to slow down. (another good reminder)
– Always be curious
– Good Exercise: think of three things that are currently weighing heavy on your mind. Act as if you are holding these three things in your hands…Now drop two of them and put 100% attention and focus towards the one you’re still holding. Once completed, feel free to pick up one of those you dropped if you’re still interested.
– Schedule your workday and stick to it! (ex: start and finish your day with 20 min personal time & work day ends at 6:00pm NO MATTER WHAT)
I was really inspired by this podcast and thought it extremely applicable to me right now. Take a listen and see what little nuggets of gold you pull out from it.
