Are you feeling confident about the future?
Several years ago my husband and I were asking questions like: Will we have enough to retire? How much is ‘enough’? What do we need? What do we want our future to look like?
We’ve both worked in the financial industry and we have a good understanding and knowledge of personal finance. However, we wanted more than our general understanding and wanted to speak with an expert in retirement planning.
We explored possibilities and chose someone who we love working with and has the expertise we needed.
Once we made that move I felt incredibly relieved. Like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders because we now have a plan built for us.
And, I feel more confident in our ongoing day-to-day financial decisions because I know where we are in relation to where we are going with our ‘plan’. It was a very smart decision for us and I’m so thrilled we made it.
Getting help in the areas you need it is important. We can’t be all the things.
And we don’t know what we don’t know.
You can apply this to a number of areas in life.
How to create time and space in your business, especially when you don’t have any
Oh the challenge of trying to ‘get it all done’. There’s so much isn’t there? Sometimes it feels like there’s too much!
And, you’re only one person - you’re the leader, the business owner, responsible for it all. How can one person get ‘it all done’?
I’m often asked what productivity tips I would recommend for busy business owners. I have several, and often, it depends on the specific circumstances of the person I’m speaking with which ideas or strategies I might share.
There are also underlying elements that may masquerade as ‘productivity’ issues, but lead to deeper reasons why we aren’t moving forward….but that’s not for this post.
Sometimes, what we need are just some good pointers on different ways to work and get inspired, so this is what this post is designed to support you with.
I’ll share one tip here with you, and I have 9 others that I will send to you if you find yourself resonating with this challenge of wearing soooo many hats in your business and not knowing where you’ll find the time.
