Smart Work Equals Positive Results
There is great information on this posting that I titled Smart Work Equals Positive Results . The article was written by Michael Force one of my favorite’s. We can all gain benefit by following Michael’s advice.
I believe in the power of thinking positively. Being able to see the present and the future with optimistic eyes is what sets entrepreneurs apart from the majority of people who hang on to their corporate jobs no matter what.
It takes positive thinking to see the opportunities around us and to act on those opportunities.
And it certainly takes an optimistic mind set to continue to see those opportunities no matter what the economy looks like in a given month or year.
But while I believe that there are things we can change by changing our outlook on life, I also know that positive thinking alone isn’t enough.
Sitting around all day and meditating about what you want in life might be relaxing. But it’s not going to get you anywhere unless you’re willing to put some mental muscle behind those dreams.
Few things irritate me more than a get-rich-quick attitude. If someone wants to start an online business with the attitude that all they have to do is put up a website and wait for money to fall from the sky—well, I’ve got better things to do with my time than waste it on that person.
The fact is, though, that there are a lot of people out there who start businesses, work their butts off, and fail. So what was the problem?
Of course, the specific problem is going to depend on the specific individual and their specific business. But overall, one of the biggest mistakes I see new entrepreneurs make is that they don’t work smart.
They work hard, yes. Admirably hard. But at the end of their very long days, they frequently find that they have less to show for their efforts than they would have had in a corporate job.
With that in mind, here are some things you can do to make sure you’re working smart:
1. Keep your primary goals for your business in the front of your mind at all times. Even I sometimes need to restrain myself from jumping at a shiny new opportunity. I know how distracting these potential opportunities can be! But you need to be successful at your first goals before you start adding goals.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t change goals if it’s necessary. Just be careful when you do it.
2. Delegate, delegate, delegate. Hire the best people you can afford to for the work you don’t have the expertise for, from accounting to (probably) copy writing. Don’t spend your time reinventing a wheel badly when experts can do the job for you the right way.
3. Create a schedule for yourself and stick with it. Yes, I know you became an entrepreneur because you want to work when and where you want to work. And that’s fine. But in this case you’re the one creating the schedule—and the only one you have to answer to is you.
Don’t let what I’ve just said make you think that owning your own business is drudgery. If you’re not having fun, you’re doing something wrong. But if you harness the power of your positive thoughts to smart, consistent work, chances are that you’re going to be a star.
