Entrepreneurs by their genetic make-up are opportunity seekers thus very prone to distraction. In the age of infinite instant on-demand distraction (ie the web) the ability to say no becomes crucial to getting things done. We need the bottlecap file, can you ship me one on condition I can return in 30 days if it doesn't work for me? Well said coach.

We need the bottlecap file, can you ship me one on condition I can return in 30 days if it doesn’t work for me?

Betty Healey, the RoadSigns Coach, presented yesterday about her "ME first" work and she speaks of "dazzling distractions". These are the kind of things that can have an entrepreneur spinning like a top but not getting anywhere. For Betty, she advises clients to put them in a parking lot...for you it's a bottle cap file. Same thing....and I agree. We need to give ourselves permission to go after opportunity AND not get taken off course. It's often not easy to tell in the moment. That's why having a business coach is so effective. Lisa Alain
