Don’t Know What to do Next in Your Business? Read This Now.

We’re diving straight in…

MAKE A YES/NO LIST

But instead of making a list of what is working and what is not working, let’s make it a little more effective.

Ask yourself of all of your tasks which ones are giving back to you? What is giving you more time, more money, more fulfillment? And which ones are not?

Delete any tasks that you do not have a commitment to and do not yield a clear and positive return for you.

CREATE AN IDEAL DAY OR WEEK

This one is great if you are having difficult big-picture questions about what to do in your business.

Think of what would be an ideal day would look like—a realistic ideal day. This isn’t a dream session about yachts and butlers or an Oprah-fancy dream. Just imagine if a typical-for-you day went very well, what would it look like. Maybe you need to do this as a week if you do different things on different days.

What I want you to focus on is how you start your day. When it’s time to get to work, what do you actually do? How do you close your day?

How does this compare to your life now? Is this conducive to the trajectory your own with your current business or plans? Why or why not?

ARE YOU DESIGNING AND BUSINESS AND LIFE THAT LEADS TO YOUR IDEAL?

ACTION BREEDS CLARITY

You will never know until you try.

You can do all the introspective work and all of the journaling and research, but that does nothing for you if you do not give yourself time to test, experiment and take real action.

In Editor’s Course, you follow a pattern of learning and doing because you cannot grow, succeed, do all the things you’ve always wanted to do and truly know what you want without taking action.
