How to Use Your Skills and Not Burn Out

Last week, I began to discuss the importance of knowing how to set and achieve goals. Today, I’ll continue with talking about the importance of time management and a great way to keep
yourself motivated.

Plenty of entrepreneurs become discouraged as they venture out with their business. Sure, they have their long-term plan hanging in the distant future, but they don’t really know how they’re going to get there, and it feels like every day it’s moving further and further away. Basically, it feels like no matter what they do they are accomplishing nothing. This is likely why so many start-ups fail, because it seems like goals are totally unattainable. By setting short-term goals, no matter how small they are, you are able to track your progress and see that you are accomplishing things. This feeling of accomplishment can boost morale and show you that you are getting things done to realize the vision you’ve set for yourself in the future.

Basically, it lets you know that you are capable and are moving forward with your business.

The best way to achieve your different goals is to write them down and review them as often as possible. During your review, ask yourself the question, “What am I doing and what else can I do to accomplish this?” At this point in time, it’s really important that you are equipped with a notepad and are ready to brainstorm. It’s also advised that you remain focused, so it’s a good idea to turn off the telephone, television set or anything else that can cause distraction. Generally, it’s a good idea to take about an hour or so each day to review your direction.

Many entrepreneurs work day and night in order to bring themselves the success they envision. The thing is that they always aren’t putting their time to the best use. They either spend too much time doing the things that limit their strengths, or they completely ignore those very same things. Things such as answering e-mails, updating the books or working on areas of the business that aren’t their specialty can suck up time like a high-powered vacuum.

Of course, these are all things that must be done to ensure the success of an organized business. When it comes to getting all the small stuff done, entrepreneurs have two options to make sure it gets done efficiently.

The first is to approach it with a clear plan. This means you have scheduled time into your day to tackle these tasks. Scribble in a few hours a day to handle these things, and then use the rest of your time to focus on your strengths. After all, your strengths are what are going to bring in the cash that allows you to balance your books.

The next option would be to hire the help of a part-time freelancer. Someone who can come in once a week, or even every two weeks, to handle the books and deal with some of the other small stuff that takes away from your ability to work at your highest level.

Even though there is a cost to hiring someone, you have to consider the income potential created by your ability to focus your energy on making sales, building relationships with
customers and cracking down on the main aspects of the business. Basically, you want to use your skills and strengths as often as you can.
