So I have been working my business a little more this week. I am very determined it will work for me very well, and that I will never have to go back to a 9-5 job, or worse for me, shift work. I keep wondering, I'm doing all the things I think will work, and I feel like I'm peddling my bike in a sand box. I've been asking myself, and others, what I'm doing that's wrong.
It occurred to me this morning that I have been in this type of situation before. I have worked sooo hard, just to find more things that need to be done, and not working on promoting myself because I was too busy with the little things. My boss told me something that I remember every once in a while, and I tend to pass it on. I sure hope he doesn't mind that I do... "Work smarter, not harder"
So today I will. I'm not exactly sure what the smarter choices will be, but I am going to ask. I'm going to ask those I work with, and maybe some I've worked before. I'm also going to take the time to ask a friend if she will help me to practice. If I have someone I trust listening to what I say to people and tell me what I'm saying wrong, or how it may sound better, then I can better myself in a few ways, and further my business.
So, as of today, it is no longer about how many hours a day I spend on the computer, or on the phone, or talking to people, it is the quality of the conversations, the appointments booked, and the opportunities found!
Good luck for me, and good luck for you as well!! This idea can apply to every area of life, not just business. I challenge you to find one thing today that you can do a smarter way, to help make it just a little easier.
