You swirl in both reactivity and procrastination.
You react to whatever’s thrown at you while putting off what you should be doing.
This is a very long path to the results you want.
I help women entrepreneurs get results faster.
By focusing on their most valuable activities. This means:
Picking priorities and doing what you need to do to stick to them.
Like turning off distractions.
Like doing what you procrastinated for days.
Like eliminating an offer that makes you money but sucks your energy.
Like not responding to texts after 6pm.
Like planning your day.
Like delegating tasks when they’re easy and “just take a few minutes.”
Like taking time (you don’t have) to create a system and make more time.
Most entrepreneurs spend their time doing low-value actions that focus on other people and distractions.
You may feel successful by putting out fires, for managing emotions, and for being busy.
BUT…
Are you growing while not burning out?
Are you showing up in your business energized and inspired?
Are you hitting and surpassing your goals with intention and purpose?
Stop reacting and be intentional.
Do this by picking your top 5 priorities for the day.
- 3 business priorities
- 2 personal priorities
Schedule them into your day. One of two things will happen.
1) You’ll see you’re overscheduled and you’ll adjust your priorities accordingly
2) You’ll see you have the time but need to tweak your schedule to fit them in
Either way you’ll be far more in control than operating in reaction mode.
You will have a plan.
Doing without a plan leaves you scattered and exhausted. It also makes you feel like a failure when you don’t hit your goals.
You can stop your reactive addiction.
You can stop equating busyness with success.
There IS a better way.
