Auditing past projects and understanding how you spend your time and where you put your attention is a first step toward self-awareness as a business owner. Without that, it’s difficult to create a business that is in harmony with personal goals. With discipline and intention, it’s possible to design the business you’ve always dreamed of owning.
In this episode we learn:
- being self-aware is essential, if you plan to succeed
- auditing your past projects reveals how you spend your time and where you put your attention
- without focus, we are in danger of having our workday slip away
- block time to develop your business
- 9-minute blocks of time are ideal for focus
- say 'no' to everything that distracts you from your mission
