Editor's note: Time
is the self-employed entrepreneur's most valuable asset. (S)he after all
is often the only source of income as well as decision maker of the
business. Without the entrepreneur there, very little
happens.
So what happens when the self-employed
entrepreneur's time is wasted? Basically, business shuts down. BB Lee
covers just a few of the biggest time wasters for entrepreneurs, though most
of these can also be considered big time wasters for larger businesses as
well.
Home Business Success Steps

A HARE one day ridiculed the short feet and
slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: "Though you be swift as
the wind, I will beat you in a race." The Hare, believing her assertion to
be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox
should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the
two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with
a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down
by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he
could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing
after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race. ("Aesop"s
Fable")
Are you aiming for a fast finish like the Hare
in Aesop's Fable?
Are you also letting someone else set your
business goals for you?
Are you measuring your success by anothers
standards?
Think about it for a second...
When starting out set your own pace instead of
trying to surpass your perceived competition.
Remember your real competition is yourself.
You are the one pushing yourself to achieve new
goals.
You are the one who knows your limits.
You are the one who will motivate yourself even
further to home business success.
And ultimately you are the one you will have to
satisfy.
Keep your eye on your personal goal and stop
trying to keep pace with others in your field.
Always strive to do your very best. And take
pride in all your accomplishments, be they large or small.
And
remember a slow and steady pace will eventually win the race to home business
success.
