Something will always be better than nothing
A business will always triumph over a business idea. That’s because ideas are worthless without execution.
No matter how half-assed a business may seem to you, it will always be better and more successful than your business ideas.
That dumpy pizzeria? Yup. They’re better than your idea to revolutionize social networking, and always will be, until your idea is executed. If you ever get around to it.
If you’d like, you can e-mail me all the excuses you have for why your business is still just an idea, and I can tell you a few different places you can shove put them.
I’m sorry if I sound a little nasty in this post. I’m just frustrated with what I see around me, and with myself, for talking plenty of talk about other businesses and how big ours will be, one day.
If you wanted it bad enough, you’d have it right now. Put that pointy finger away. There’s no better time than now to get started. Screw tomorrow. Today is the day.
Automating the process
Go it Alone, a book about outsourcing almost every single task for your company, reminded me how much time I waste each day on tedious little things that don’t result in much other than a migraine and the development of carpel tunnel.
Many tasks can be outsourced for both your business and life. But in most instances, you still need to have to some form of interaction with your outsourcee at least once a month to ensure that the task was done, and done correctly.
I suggest you try a little Ron Popeil magic, if applicable. “Set it and forget it�.
Here are some things off the top of my head that you can automate each day, week, month, or year so you don’t have to worry about worrying about them.
Digg
Its not like they need our traffic, but that’s not why they get our S.W.L. award today. Kevin Rose is a true young go getter who’s had an effect named after his company, and his baby is a daily destination for geeks worldwide. Digg makes us proud to be a geek and consumes hours of our lives each week. That’s why we love Digg.
Kill two news birds with one stone
