Hi
,
How to be your own boss: Don't do anything besides the task you set out to do.
That's literally it.
Your life probably has too many
priorities. I can say that because we all have "priorities" plural.
But it makes no sense. Priority comes from the word priori - which means first or coming before. Which means - there can only be one.
But it's really hard to pick just one. But you have to. After all, if you can't make the decision - how do you expect to achieve your goal to be your own boss?
But I get it, life's a challenge as there are numerous things via for your attention.
So here's the process: Look at your list of priorities. Cross out everything except the biggest one that will move you towards your goal.
The one that - if accomplished - makes everything else irrelevant. That means you take your
list of five, and narrow it down to one. And there's always one.
If you can't pick, you're not prioritising - you're waiting for the planets to line up and to do the deciding for you.
Real prioritisation forces trade-offs. It
hurts. Good. That pain means you're doing it right.
Ask yourself: "If all I did was this one thing, and it helped me to warp speed towards having my own business, why would we care about doing anything else?" - that's your priority.
Everything else is a distraction dressed up as a strategy.
The fastest-growing companies obsess over one metric. And they think really hard about that metric.
Pick one thing. Go all in. Forget the rest and watch the seas part as everyone knows exactly where you're going and why.
Want help identifying your one thing?
