I don't know about you, but every so often I find
myself getting too close to my business.
I start spending too much time promoting and
advertising, and not enough time relaxing and letting
nature take its course.
My view becomes more and more microscopic and I get
bogged down in details and miss the big picture.
It's as if I'm sitting on a beautiful beach and instead
of taking in the panoramic view of the ocean, the warm
sun and the waves gently rolling against the beach, I'm
obsessing on a single grain of sand.
It doesn't happen all at once. It's a gradual process.
I don't really notice it until my brain begins to
rebel.
I start obsessing. My mind begins to freeze and I start
wondering how I let myself make the same mistake again.
Why did I spend too much time at the pc?
Why did I keep pressing, when it's so much better to
relax and soar?
Time to sit back and give my mind a rest.
It goes against the "nose to the grindstone" ethic, but
working harder isn't working more efficiently.
Sometimes we need to give it a rest and allow our minds
to rest. Even championship body-builders know that their
muscles grow during the rest periods.
The same applies to your business. Sometimes you need to
step back before you can see the big picture.
The Internet has changed business forever, but along
with all the time saving promotional devices, has come
the ability to spend too much time online.
You can just push a button and you're at work.
That's a double edged sword. Better than commuting to
work, but oh so easy to lose sight of the big picture.
If you're finding you've hit a rut, or your business has
fallen into a slight slump, maybe instead of pushing
harder you should take a step back.
Cut yourself a little slack.
Give your mind a rest.
Hey, take some time to smell the roses.
Take a step back and you'll come back stronger than
ever.
Wishing You Success.
