New Year; new beginning. Where to start? The hardest part for many small businesses is just getting started. Here are some tactics for beating procrastination:
1. Just do it.
Start anywhere. Once you get going, the momentum builds.
2. Chunk it down. It's easy to get overwhelmed which often leads to, "Oh, I can't get all this done today, so I'll start it tomorrow." Then it doesn't happen. We recommend the timer approach. Simply set a timer for 10 minutes and work full out. Often when the timer goes off, you're into the groove and will continue working on that project.
3. Unplug. Unplug your phone. Turn off your cell. Don't check your email. Do whatever you need to do to limit interruptions and distractions. Self-imposed isolation is productive and profitable.
4. Get help.
It's oftentimes difficult to see your big vision when you're in the midst of the day-to-day work. Every day we help small businesses vision and implement marketing strategies that get results. We can help you too. We guarantee it'll be one of the most important business decisions you'll make in 2009. Best to do it early in the year to reap the benefits.
