Well, it finally happened - I made the time to write the
blog I promised Amanda! I guess that is the first point - making time for stuff
is a challenge we all face on a daily basis, as we spend our day reacting to
what happens to us , rather than sorting out the urgent and important, from the
really important and doing what only we can do, instead of getting involved in
detail that doesn’t need our time.
As I have been juggling the next phase of
development at Grusson and helping my friend Andrew with his
renovation around his pool and keeping the grass cut and place tidy at Grusson I have spent too little time on equalta.
However I always
had an excuse - I’m getting older and tire more easily, there’s too much going
on in my head, I need to rest etc. well it’s time to ‘fess up - it’s
….ocks!!! Whether consciously or not I had prioritised, I had decided where to
spend my time and effort AND for the past few months it was in the wrong
place!!!!! Having a small business working from home requires a different
set of disciplines and has different frustrations from working in a corporate
environment - the making of your own routine, rather than by being driven
by a meeting schedule; choosing the projects you want to do, rather than what
the strategic plan did say but got changed by the boss's boss's focus on this months numbers, the list goes on.
The key point here is about decision making, making choices and making choices involves thinking through situations and to do that effectively requires three key components: you, some tools and the right environment. We have created the environment we have a whole host of tools we just need you.
So, do yourself , your family and your organisation a big favour - come and spend some time with me and Amanda at Grusson - thinking about what’s on YOUR mind.
