Focus On YOUR Business

A writing buddy was complaining
yet again
about how another writer does no marketing
(that she knows about)
and still has great sales.

This writing buddy
would likely have better sales
and more happiness
if she focused on her own sales,
her own books,
her own business.

Sure, we can
briefly look
at competitors
for inspiration
but
we should spend
the majority of our time
working on our own businesses.

We have limited time
on this wonderful planet.

Spend as much of it as possible
working to make
our own dreams
a reality.

Stop worrying about
everyone else.

Working Around Meetings

A salesperson loved one
has infinite meetings.
Every spare moment
in his calendar fills up
with them.

So he blocks time
in advance
for sleeping,
for eating,
for working out.

And he blocks time
in advance
for completing non-meeting tasks.
He doesn’t know
what those tasks will be
but he knows
there will be tasks
and he will have to complete them.

Hannah Diop,
co-owner of
Sienna Naturals,
shares

“As the CEO,
my 9-4ish hours
are dominated by meetings,
so I need to block hours
in the evening
to actually think
and get “my” work done.”

Block hours in your calendar
to get sh*t done.
