When I started my business, I made the choice to give up some of the hobbies I enjoyed to make more time for my business to flourish. I've most recently started to pursue those forgotten hobbies - and it's reminded me of what a journey life can be! Going forward, I am going to make more of an effort to pursue my passions outside of work, hoping to create a little more balance in life. What about you? How are you making time for hobbies in 2025 (and beyond)?95Views2likes3CommentsThis Book Has Been Foundational For Me!
Alright, listen up. If you’re runnin’ a small business and haven’t read Michael Gerber’s The E-Myth Revisited, you’re missin’ out big time. This book’s a game-changer, no two ways about it. Gerber breaks down why most small businesses fall flat and how to dodge that bullet. And here’s the kicker: it ain’t about how good you are at your repairing something; it’s about how well you run the business. Gerber’s got this idea that every business owner’s got three jobs: The Technician – the doer. This is the one out there grindin’ it out, doin’ the actual work. You’re a plumber? That’s you fixin’ leaks. The Manager – the one keepin’ things in line. Schedules, budgets, makin’ sure everything’s runnin’ smooth. The Entrepreneur – the big thinker. The one lookin’ down the road, dreamin’ up where this business can go next. Problem is, most folks are stuck bein’ just Technicians. They’re good at doin’ the work but not so good at runnin’ the show. That’s why they end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and still strapped for cash. If you wanna run a solid business, you gotta stop tryin’ to do everything yourself. You need systems & processes, you need to be able to hand stuff off so the whole thing doesn’t fall apart if you’re not there. That means you gotta step up as the Manager and Entrepreneur, not just the Technician. It’s the only way you’re gonna grow and get outta the daily grind. The eventual goal is to be in Entrepreneur mode full time! There’s even an E-Myth Contractor version, but don’t jump there just yet. Start with the original. The basics are the same no matter what kind of gig you’re runnin’, and once you get those down, then you can see how it fits for your trade. The E-Myth ain’t just a book; it’s a playbook for people like us running a business.91Views3likes2CommentsHow do you stay motivated ?
I learned that the best way to stay motivated is to look at what you want your life to be in the next 5,10,15 years and set a goal for that, then remove all obstacles that make you unmotivated. What are your thoughts and ideas about staying motivated?87Views2likes1Comment
