| Recently one of the participants said all she wanted for Christmas
was a CLONE? I don't think she does and here is why:
Sometimes the day to day struggle to stay in business becomes
overwhelming. I find myself needing 5 or 6 more Debs to do everything I
need to do each day. When I start feeling this "panic," I usually just
stop dead in my tracks!
Overkill...that's what I do. It seems like when something is really
going great, I think it should be better. So, when this occurs I remember
the reason I went into business for myself in the first place...CONTROL
OVER MY OWN LIFE.
I don't want to get BIG. I want to control my BUSINESS. Not because
I'm a
control freak but because I don't want to be responsible for the payroll,
insurance, benefits, etc that go into hiring personnel to grow larger.
All I want is to be happy at what I am doing. I am not going to become
an employee of my own business. I am going to manage the business
so it is manageable. I love being small business and enjoying the
creativity of my own self. I'm but one small business owner...with
one idea of BIG.
S0, clone or not....YOU are in control. How many clones will you
end up
needing until you sit down and analyze why you "need," (or if you really
do "need") a clone. Organize your day with priorities. Get
rid of those burdens that take away the time for pleasure and let go of
50% of what you are doing. When you do that....I can almost guarantee
that you will generate more of what you want than you are right now.
To your success,
Deb Nyberg
