Three Steps to Finding Your Focus
October 17, 2008 – 8:23 amFeeling overwhelmed? It happens to everyone - you add on one little thing to your WAHM plate and over time you find it tough to carry the load. Here are some tips to find your focus:
- Write it All Down. Make a list of all the things you are doing to promote your business or find another job. If you are a blogger, write down all the blogs you write for.
- Are You Getting Paid? After you have your list, put a dollar amount next to each item. If you think it will pay off over time, use two columns and write down how much it is making right now and how much you think it will make in six months.
- What Isn’t Worth It? After you have your pricing written down you should see some items that are not bringing in the money you want them to. Can you improve the items with low returns? Are there some things you can quit doing to focus on more profitable items on your list?
It is almost always easier to make more money from something that is already bringing in money than to make money from something sitting at zero.
Focus what you’re doing and get some time back in your day.

Great list of tips. I especially agree with #1 - I write my to do list every day, and if I don’t complete my tasks, I move them over to the next day. I’d recommend investing in some sort of dayplanner to keep all your lists and tasks together.

Making a list is a must. Do the things that put you closest to the bucks. You can always delegate/outsource or re-visit the rest.
