Don't Give It The Head Space

Don't Let the Problems of the World Take Control

Focus on the things that you need to get done and get sales

Stay Focused While Running A Business

It's hard to stay focused when you're in the middle of a business. We can let things that we have no control over invade our headspace, and when we know that we need to concentrate on our business and really focus down and shut out the noise, it can be hard.


But we need to think about what's important: getting and keeping customers, driving traffic to our websites, driving traffic to our landing pages, webinars and all the good stuff.


It's a tough time to be a business owner. It's easy to get stuck in the day-to-day, and lose sight of what's really important for your company's growth.


But you've got to keep moving forward. It doesn't matter if you're just getting started or you've been in business for ages—you have to keep thinking around how can I drive traffic? How can I get the profitability and the growth? What are the key areas? What's the 80/20 rule of my income generating tasks and how can I get focused and knuckle down, not letting this all stuff around me distract me from what matters most?


There a great little exercise to support you in this called "The Spheres' of Influence" and it can be found here.
