How You Can Keep From Getting Depressed While Working at Your Dream

When do many entrepreneurs get depressed?

You might be wondering, what if anything does this have to do with building a business? I see a very clear correlation. You see, like a mountain climber who can’t see the peak during bad weather, entrepreneurs without clearly defined goals (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) are more susceptible to daily interruptions and distractions, and more likely to waste your precious resource called time.

This could be hazardous to your business building results during the best of times. Not having written and specific goals during these tumultuous times is just plain stupid. It borders on strategic suicide.

Why would you do that to yourself? Why would you dare to start a day or begin a week without having your written goals in full view?

Put your written goals on paper and then get it laminated. Put one copy on your desk. Put one copy in your brief case. Put another copy in your car – on the sun visor. Tape another copy onto your bathroom mirror. Hey – I didn’t just fall off the back of a turnip truck.

You need a crystal clear picture of what the peak of your mountain looks like – clearly defined goals. First things first. Establish written goals. Then create a list of all the action steps you need to achieve your goals. You’d be amazed at how easy achieving goals is as soon as they are set in writing. I say screw the recession. You can get up, even when you’re down – if you maintain your focus and concentrate on achieving your written goals.

Being distracted isn’t your ticket to achieving your GOALS – being focused is. You don’t have to climb Mount Everest to appreciate how important keeping your eyes focused on your goals is to achieving your ultimate success in sales.

You can get up or stay down – you choose!
