For Solopreneurs who work from home.

Those of us who are entrepreneurs and work from home wish we had a magic wand that helped us stay focused and not get distracted with the day to day messes that appear all around us.  Messes like laundry,  cooking meals, cleaning bathrooms and don’t forget shopping at the supermarket.  Then there are the kiddos who need attention, reminders and pick-ups. 

Are you nodding your head in agreement? 

How do you get into that state of getting it all done?

Quite simply you don’t! 

However, you do see progress and progress is key to growing your business as a solopreneur.   Today, I have a  few questions for you to ask yourself to see how you can improve your progress to get more achieved in accomplishing your goals.

#1  Do you plan your week on a Sunday?   This type of planning gives you structure.  As you know my planning ritual happens every SUNDAY and honestly, once I plug that into my calendar and hit it every week, I notice things don’t fall through the cracks.  If I don’t make time for this on Sunday, I find I miss things and have to juggle appointments when I see myself double-booked.  Of course I have a checklist to follow and I know you’ll love it to.

#2  How many Hours a day do you work?  That’s the beauty of being a solopreneur, you get to work those “flex” hours around your busy family and life.  We love not having that mandatory  9-5  schedule.  However, I find there must be some kind of schedule to follow and that’s why I work on a TIME BLOCKING schedule every week.  It’s part of my Sunday Checklist.

#3  How do you meal plan for the family?  I’m in awe of having a resource like you tube to watch ways to plan weekly meals for your family.  When you meal plan each week, you save so much brain time figuring out what to eat for dinner every night.

#4   Do you feel alone working from home?  How do you handle this? Three words - networking, networking, networking.  Build strong connections.!

#5   Are you goal oriented or do you run by the seat of your pants?  This is a very important question.  I’ve always loved to create goals in my business and see the results and rewards when I hit the targets.  If you want to know how I do it, even today, download my 90-day Goals playbook.

#6   How do you stay focused?  I wish there was a magic potion for the answer to this question.  All I know is I keep my focus with my WEEKLY to-do list in my ONE NOTEBOOK JOURNAL.  When things get chaotic like a million tabs open on my laptop, I just go back to my weekly to-do list to find the focus I need for the next project or action.  And here’s a big one!  I re-write my weekly to do list every Sunday during my planning session.

 This week’s positive story!   Are you a museum goer?  I’ve been in many and plan to visit more.  This story caught my attention about the most remote museum in the world. I hope you like it.   I’m planning on visiting museums in Sydney and Canberra on my upcoming trip.  I’ll keep you posted.

These questions are meant to help you with your projects over a busy summer, and SUMMER HAS ARRIVED.   

I'd love to hear from you which question speaks to you most.  Hit reply and let me know.

Until next week....

p.s.

ONE MORE WEEK AND THE  ACCOUNTABILITY LAB CLOSES.

.One of the key reasons why people do not achieve their goals is because they are not being held accountable. That's what makes the A-LAB program  different.  We meet every week and you’re held accountable for your goals, so you actually hit them.
