Are You Balance And Focused? If Not, You Are Overwhelmed!

I have been volunteering my time this week interviewing women business owners in order to participate in a fantastic mentoring program. A program that I co-created and co-chair for the Greater Woman's Business Council. It's a complete joy (it must be, I dedicate an entire week to it every year!)

Anyway, the most common challenge women business owners share is a lack of balance. Juggling work, family, busing kids to activities, home finances, doctor appointments, etc. They all claim to be overwhelmed and unclear as to how to change this dynamic.

The answer: FOCUS.

Women business owners have, from necessity, become such amazing multi-taskers that they have lost focus. They give nearly equal focus and attention to most all task. This will kill you and your business.

You must take a firm stand now. Multi-tasking isn't necessarily a good thing. Here are a couple questions to get your brain moving in a fresh direction:

1. Have you clearly defined success for you and for your company?

2. Do you have a clear road map to achieve success

3. Do you begin each day by taking 1 or 2 minutes reviewing this clear definition and map in order to ensure daily focus?

4. Are you spending 80% of your time on clear and effective stategic tasks that will absolutely drive business and grow your organization?

Once you gain clear focus, unimportant task and time wasters will fall away and you will no longer feel overwhelmed and unbalanced!
