There are some days when I don’t feel like doing anything. It feels like I have hit a mental wall and it’s hard to get myself moving. I think I mentioned this last week - what I’ve learned is the way to get started is to do something. The following quote by Jerry West addresses this issue.
“You won’t get much done in life if you only work hard the days you feel good.”
That is so true. If I got myself going only on days I felt inspired I’m positive I wouldn’t have a business. Or at least it wouldn’t be a growing business. I decided years ago that If we were going to have a business I had to have a routine. That was the answer for me. I can assure you that there are many days I really don’t feel like sitting at this computer and wondering what I can write today. But this is how I get my day started.
Almost every day is the same for me. Get up and get ready for the day. Get to my office and read for a while. This morning I spent time reading Proverbs 3. Then I start to think about a word or an idea and I just start. Getting started in anything seems to be the challenge and is the answer for me to have a good start of the day.
How about you. Do you have a routine for running your business? Do you ever feel like not doing anything? My bet is of course you do. I think the answer is to just start.
Whew! This morning I just got started and now I can go work out. Make this a great day for yourself and how to do that is to get yourself started.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
