Staying On Task

Whenever mama suggests we go somewhere or do something special I get so excited I can hardly stand it! I don't know what all I'm going to be doing, but going places with mama and doing special activities is always fun! Mama has to slow me down and remind me of my manners and take time to gather anything we may need to take with us. Mama says that often business owners, when they're just starting out are a lot like me. They get so excited about what they are doing that they have a hard time slowing down and taking things one step at a time. Here's mama's story on working with an anxious entreprenuer: Ah, yes, the eager business owner. He's just started his dream, and is excited about his new adventure! There are so many ideas floating around in his head he doesn't know where to begin. When he shares with you all that is going to take place, he jumps from one subject to the next and you aren't sure how to follow his enthusiasm! How does he stay on track with everything? Just beginning to work with the eager business owner, I have learned he just needed a start. So he's started with a notebook, writing everything down that comes to mind. We've also started with composing a few marketing peices and developing a business plan. From there we will know what the next important step is to take. He needs to be patient with himself and the process. Eventually important goals will be attainable and his mission will fall into place. Come back tomorrow to find out what to do with those overwhelming to do lists! Here's waggin at ya!
