Is Your Business Killing You?
More and more small business owners are complaining that they are spending too much time on their business and couldn’t afford to go for a vacation. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying they can’t afford the flight ticket or the accommodation in a 5 star hotel for the vacation. They have more than enough money to spend on these trips, but they just couldn’t leave their business because there’s just too many things need to be done.
Don’t you think it’s funny how we thought that we were doing productive things when we were browsing the web looking for more information getting a certain job done? Well, I know that for a fact because I am so addicted to Google and is always searching for more information up to the point where I know that I have too much information where I actually need to get something concrete to be done.
Maybe it’s just me, but I have always thought that I have too many things that need to be done everyday, but ended up not getting anything done. It’s been going on that way ever since I switched to broadband internet connection. Like everyone else, I have always thought that having unlimited access to Internet is a good way to gain information that are necessary for me to grow my business.
And add the never ending amount of distraction that you get from instant messengers, email messages, phone calls and SMS-es into the equitation, you will know that you were actually spending too little time in getting real work from getting done. The world would have been a better place if we don’t spend too much time attending to these distractions.
This blogpost is a self reminder for me to get more things done and spend lesser time looking for information, or replying to emails. I am going to decrease the time I spend visiting political blog, online forums and Youtube videos and spend more time doing productive things in order to make more money online. I will stop giving myself excuses to check my inbox every 5 minutes.
