🐿 Are You Distrac ... Hey, Look!

🔮 STOP PREDICTING, START CREATING 🦄

TAKE ACTION ON DISTRACTION 🌪

I’m certain your mind is always racing. But so are your eyes … and your ears.

ASSESS THE MESS 🫣

We all have a place where we “work on the business” … kitchen table, home office, Starbucks, garage, bedroom, etc.

In my early years as an entrepreneur, I had a myriad of distractions begging for attention: dishes, email, laundry, hot wife, gym, television, fridge, talk radio, squeaky chair, dog, kids, bills, (did I mention fridge?).

I learned pretty quickly that my creativity and my productivity was greatly influenced by my setup and surroundings. So I changed it up. A lot.

THIS OR THAT 🤷‍♀️

Think of what you place on your kitchen countertop. You have a couple options; a bowl of fruit, or a plate of cookies. The proverbial “cookies” led to lousy results, so I:

• replaced talk radio with instrumental music

• did laundry first thing in the morning

• stopped watching television (it’s actually possible)

• fixed the chair

• responded to email 3x / day rather than each time it chimes in

• scheduled walks with the dog … and the kids

• changed my diet so the fridge wasn’t all that enticing (boo!)

• hit the gym before I hit the business

As a creator, entrepreneur and business owner, you need to be INTENTIONAL about EVERY part of the business … including your surroundings. Take a look around, conduct a “Workspace Audit” … what distractions can you remove today that keep you from feeling better about tomorrow? #DoItNow

Have a blessed day, friends! ~ Brent 🦄
