Opportunity Cost

I guess my theme for the week has got to be 'Opprtunity Cost' - because as an entrepreneur I never feel productive enough!

Sure, I have learned that in my line of work (developing and trainng workshops) even reading the right material is a very productive activity. It is not about rushing and stressing - but rather about challenging the stress and being able to be relaxed, no matter what I am doing!

After all I am a time managment and EQ author, and so need to set the example. Yet, when business is not coming my way rapidly, despite my marketing efforts, I start second-guessing myself. Am I on the right track? Would it help to be just a little more 'focussed' ? What the heck - I'm focussed enough. I've had a time in my life where I was on a roll business-wise, but that was where all my attention went - to the detriment of my family.

Ain't doing that again! I enjoy my work, but my family is a priority too. Need to be balanced.

I know I am progressing in my business because I am moving forward every day. It helps to write down my goals and what I've done every day towards their fulfillment. And to recognise the wins along the way.

Eating the elephant bit by bit.

Oh- this was about 'opportunity cost'. Well - that just means using your time to do the best thing at the best time.

You just need to trust you are.

Having goals and priorities helps.
Like when I was studying I never thought I was doing enough - until one day I had earned my degree. Slowly, bit by bit.

Developing and marketing, and getting things in order - bit by bit. Restarting the engine - I reworked my money course today - and am happy with it at last! So looking forward to sharing it with a group on Thursday, and getting advice and feedback from those who work in the various financial industries.

Yip- I could've been working on my accredtitation docs (again!) - or phoning more primary market clients, or... I don't know. I can't think of anything else I could've done better than write up that money course today.

Hopefully for many to learn from, but at least, for myself. It's about personal development .

The world's wealthiest investor, Warren Buffet says, 'If you can't manage your emotions, you won't manage your money'.

That is - Being In Tune with emotions means being In Tune with money. A great note to end on!

So just DO, without getting too emotional about the 'opportunty cost'. B-)
