Not All About Small Business and Profit
very so often I’m reminded how lucky I am to be alive and blessed. Caught up in the hustle and bustle of managing a small business and being a father to three very special young and lively spirits it’s easy to think that ‘tomorrow will be another day’. But will it?
Turning the pages of “The Times” newspaper an article caught my attention. The article is titled, “Noble Fight Against Cancer Ends With Last Entry On Internet Diary.” The article is about the death of Ivan Noble from a brain tumour. He was only 37 years young. Ivan wrote for BBC News and started his Internet Diary in September 2002 when he was diagnosed with cancer. His diary attracted many visitors who responded by sharing their experiences and drawing strength from Ivan’s courageous chronicle
Why am I writing about this?
Well it has to do with the waste of precious time that you and I devote to building a business and getting hang up on things that have little consequence. Sure, we have to work. Being your own boss gives is hard work and the freedom to spend your time how you want. While you are building to gain financial freedom, think about the “Pareto Principle”: 80% of your income will come from 20% of your customers.
Work the 20% to extract maximum value for your small business so you can spend valuable time with those who matter the most. The key is to ‘work smart’… tomorrow is hoped and is never guaranteed.
