Entrepreneurs love starting projects and putting out fires – but are you working on the right problem?
Recently I was a guest on my friend Val Low’s Focus & Freedom for Entrepreneurs podcast that features “focus, productivity, and entrepreneurs doing extraordinary things in business.” Of course I was honored to join those ranks! Outside of the podcast, Val helps businesses clarify message and branding to increase revenue and growth.
In my “Get to the Finish Line” episode, we talked about how easy it is for entrepreneurs to get so deep in the weeds working on urgent business stuff that they struggle to reach the finish line of important goals.
Sound familiar?
This happens to all of us, even me. I share my springtime slump story with Val and how a business check-up with four key questions helped me refocus.
Prioritize your problems… and listening to this podcast. I know you’ll enjoy it.
