This is a bit of a double-edged sword. While it’s great to have the sort of mind that keeps coming up with new ideas, that same entrepreneurial trait can also mean leaving a trail of unfinished projects.
The excitement of a new idea can carry you off track and away from what you need to be doing to actually make money! And you probably find that by the time you’re ready to make that new idea a reality – you’re bored with it, because in your mind you’ve already finished it – and you want to move on to the next exciting thought!
If this scenario is ringing bells for you, then it’s time to unpack all the focus tools in your toolbox and do whatever it takes to complete your brilliant ideas.
Prioritising should be easy – whatever is going to make you money fastest needs to be number 1 on your list!
Planning out each idea from inception to completion will help keep you on track and stop you from feeling overwhelmed.
Taking the first step is vital. If you wait until you’ve worked out all the fine details, it will be too late! Too late because someone else may beat you to it if you wait too long, and too late because your enthusiasm will have gone off the boil.
Today’s tip – allocate 1 hour each day just to work on just one of your brilliant ideas. You’ll soon get through that list of unfinished projects!
