Similaroy to Lesa above, I thought to myself “this is an old post! Why bother commenting?”… but the truth is, taking action is far more important than thinking about things all day, so here I am! Great points, Dave.

The last comment left on this article was several years ago, so I thought about just clicking away but I have to follow point #4 and leave a comment.

Love the point about making yourself do overtime to improve your business! Many of my clients seem to think that they can build a business in just a few hours a day. I guess you can, but not one that will support you — especially if your goal is 6 figures! Sometimes, to get where you want to go, you just have to suck it up and do the work that needs to get done.

I agree with the post above, I’m pretty lazy when it comes to reading all these great articles and then not leaving even just a “great” comment.

I love your articles, and the Saturday links!

I use David’s Printable CEO and find it amazing for keeping my tasks organised on focused. I have been guilty of No.1 in the past, running around thinking your getting things done when in fact your really putting off the most important areas you need to focus on! Your basically conning yourself to make you feel better, if your running your own business you need to be very honest about your actions.

I found David Allens “Getting Things Done” to be fantastic, well worth checking out!

Thank you for your post.

Quite frequently I am running around, trying to fill an order, thinking “I’m so busy”, but when in actuality, I’m spinning my wheels.

Thanks for the kick in the *ss.

Have a nice day.

Jeffrey – that is a great story – that is a perfect example of the difference between a “poor” mentality and a “rich” mentality – thanks for sharing!

When I was intenring at a recording studio, I asked my mentor why he didn’t just clean the mixing board himself instead of bringing in someone esle to do it. He told me that cleaning the board would be an all-day project and hiring someone to do it would only cost him a few hundred dollars. During that time, he could be sending out reels, marketing, or scheduling gigs and make 3 times that amount.
