1. 7 Time Wasters that Keep You Broke and Frustrated!
Here are 7 time wasters that contribute to the profit or loss of any business:
Time Waster 1: Lack of Focus/Planning-
There is a saying that goes “Our plans fail when we fail to plan.” You can’t
run a business on emotions and desire alone. When you don’t plan out a
system or a structure of how you want the process to flow, you’re losing
money and time.
Time Waster 2: Distractions-
Whenever time is not being used to hit your goals, it’s being stolen away
from them. You can’t control all the distractions around you, but when you
can, take full advantage to do so. Remember, you can’t gain time A D
money. One is usually a sacrifice for the other.
Time Waster 3: Fear/Doubt-
Fear is a deceiver. It makes you doubt the very thing that you started your
business out to accomplish. When you start to profit, fear will tell you that
you are doing it wrong. When you get frustrated, fear will tell you someone
or something is plotting against you. So, try this. When you think you can’t
do anymore and you think you will lose everything if you make a change, be
afraid and do it anyway. No one ever gained great success by playing it
straight. Take the risk and face your fear.
Time Waster 4: Planning with o Action-
How many times have you listen to the same video on YouTube or read the
same book from the library on how to do something better in your business?
How many seminars and webinars have you attended, prepared the
templates, bought the supplies, but still haven’t completed the task? That is
such a waste of time. Don’t do this to yourself. Your business is an
investment of your time, skill, passion and knowledge. So don’t lose time
and money on it by not doing what is necessary to get you to the next level.
Try this. Every time you learn something new to prosper your business, do
some small step that very day. Keep doing little steps every chance you get
until you see a major change.
It really works.

2. Time Waster 5: Procrastination-
Not taking action is not as bad as not doing anything. When you
procrastinate, you’ll stay broke and frustrated because you’re not doing
anything to help yourself prosper. Procrastination chokes your motivation
and it steals your dreams. As the old saying goes; “Don’t put off for
tomorrow what can be done today.” Wise words.
Time Waster 6: Excuses-
Excuses were not made for business. Owning your own business requires
you to make the sacrifices necessary so you don’t have to worry about using
excuses. Excuses keep you broke because they are unacceptable to the
clients that put their trust & faith in you and depend on you to make them
look good. So, guess what? What do you think happens to your money when
your clients decide to leave you A D your excuses? That’s right. Your
money goes right out the window. So, try this. Instead of making excuses,
try making better plans. Get some professional help. Let someone help you
get the success you’ve working so hard to achieve.
Time Waster 7: Fear-
Fear is a combination of all kinds of emotions wrapped up into nothingness.
Fear is only alive if you feed it. Make up in your mind that you will learn to
recognize your fear and shut it down whenever it decides to rear its ugly
head. Fear will keep you from getting your goals accomplished and fear will
steal your money. You work to hard to let fear rule your life, so in order to
fight fear you must put something positive in your path every day.
Read a poem, scripture, proverb, article that gives you strength, courage,
boosts your morale and makes you feel alive. That’s how all the successful
business leaders make it.
You can too!
