Maybe we can blame smart phones or the constant connectivity of social media, but our lives are even more full of distractions than they were five years ago. In fact, for many, being incredibly busy is almost a badge of honor.<\/p>\n
But being that busy doesn\u2019t mean you need to also create work for yourself \u2013 stop chasing the newest fad and bouncing between ideas. Focus instead on finishing tasks, projects or goals you\u2019ve already started! Chasing the newest shiny thing can be disastrous for business owners. Even when you\u2019re swamped, having set strategies and goals keeps your employees on track and helps your customers connect with you. If you\u2019re constantly in a frantic state of distraction, it can be extremely unsettling for your staff and your clients.<\/p>\n
Take a minute to slow down and think about it. Being an early adopter can work in your benefit in many arenas, but you have to be dedicated to certain goals. Continuously chasing a moving target is frustrating and it keeps you from pursuing solid, existing ideas, projects and strategies. Consider your best options, make strong commitments and give those projects the focus and implementation strategies they need to be successful.<\/span><\/p>\n This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t experiment and search for new ideas \u2013 it\u2019s just that you need to ensure you can maintain the necessary balance between stability and change. Make sure you have fully implemented those older, great ideas before pursuing something new. Without full and aggressive implementation, you don\u2019t get full results.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Finish what you start.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
