Without question almost every home business owner has struggled with time management. Working from home has many perks, but along with
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, answer can be boiled down to how you manage your time.
Realistically, it’s about doing right things when right things need doing.
Read that last sentence over again and really let it sink in.
Do right things when right things need doing.
That leads us to next obvious question. How am I going to know what right thing to do is and when to do it?
The key to that answer can be found in word ACTION.
A-AWARENESS
You have to be consciously aware of what needs to be done. Take time to put a plan together for your business. A well prepared plan gives you 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 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, road trip holiday can provide us with some ideas. If you left on a road trip holiday with no plan, and weren’t committed to getting to a destination, would any of your friends be surprised if you didn’t successfully complete trip? Of course not. Without a commitment to your business, you will fail. Make a COMMITMENT and see your plan through to completion.
