Do you really have no time to work on your business? What did you listen to on your commute into work? How many hours of Netflix have you watched this week? Are you going out Saturday night because someone said “let’s go out?”
You have the time to work on your business in the time you spend doing activities.
A Ready Entrepreneur, prioritizes business building activities to make the time to work on achieving your lifestyle dream. You find the time in the time you have. You say ‘no’ to activities that do not advance your business goals.
Start with just 15 minutes. Take 15 minutes a day to do an activity related to your business: research for your idea, call a contact, set-up your website, ask a question on social media, define the value you want to deliver to the global marketplace.
Start with 15 minutes, expand to 30 minutes a day, then one hour and more. Soon you will be focused on your business as a priority in your life.
The more action steps you take towards getting your business started, the more time you will free up. Follow the Ready Entrepreneur Time path here: The Ready Entrepreneur Practice for Time.
