subject: Are You Skipping Steps That Would Benefit Your Home Business? [print this page] It's amazingly easy to skip things that would help your home business. It's something most of us do at times in all parts of our lives. How much would it help your business if you could get past that habit?
I started thinking on this when talking to my husband the other day about his upcoming jury duty. He's one of those people who somehow gets called for it every time he's eligible. Last time, he got summons for jury duty in both Federal and Superior Courts within about a week of each other. He's just that prone to being called in for it. It's quite a relief that this time he doesn't have to untangle which court gets priority.
But he did make life a little harder for himself, and a couple days before his service was to start, he was realizing that he should have taken the time to correct it. He was summoned to jury duty in Fontana. He works in San Bernardino, however, right by the courts there. He was told by several people he could request a transfer, and that such requests are usually granted.
He didn't, which meant a longer drive in.
I think we all do things like that. It can be as simple as procrastinating on a project for your business that you know will bring in money. It may be failing to keep up on new trends in your industry. It can be taking too much time on projects that aren't likely to earn you anything at all.
Take a look at what you're doing with your business and what you want to get done with it. What's keeping you from finishing both lists?
If you think it's a lack of time, take a look at what you are spending your time doing. Is it worth the amount of time you're spending on it, or should you be planning out your days better?
If it's a lack of knowledge or experience, why aren't you trying to get that knowledge or experience? It's not going to happen on it's own. You have to do the work and make it happen.
Is it fear of trying something new? Trying something new in your business is hard, but so often that's what pays off, either in money or in lessons learned from failure.
Whatever the situation is, find a way to push yourself past it. You can accomplish so much more when you really push your limits.
