By Asa Beavers | productivity

Hi, my name is Asa, and I’m an over-thinker…

I haven’t actually looked for an Over-Thinkers Anonymous (OA) chapter to help me with this issue, yet it wouldn’t surprise me if there is such a thing.

For entrepreneurs and business owners, over-thinking can be categorized as a afflication. But, before we get into the treatment options, let’s first get a clear definition of the affliction.

Indecision and procrastination delay delivering exceptional service to customers and bringing your best products to market. Simply put here’s my definition of over-thinking...

Why Clarity, Or Lack Of It, Will Make Or Break Your Business

By Asa Beavers | leadership

Shock and Awe…

That’s how I feel about today’s high school students who take advanced placement classes, then graduate with a 4+ grade point average, and move on to college with their major already picked out.

How the heck did they achieve such clarity about what they want to do for a career at such a young age? That’s sure NOT my story!

Nope. For me high school was sports and chasing girls. I was a decent student and got my work done for the most part, but I had no concept at the time that I was supposed to be preparing myself for life after school.

A lack of clarity can create chaos and frustration in your life and business. See why these two emotions can do more to stall your business journey and what you can do...

“I really need to build a plan for my business this year. But we’re busy and I don’t have time for that now. Anyways, what we’re doing now is working pretty good. Sure it could be better, and I know planning could help. But how do I get started? What format should I use? I’ll tell you what, let’s just stick with what we’re doing now and maybe get around to it in a month or so when things aren’t so hectic.”

First off, planning shouldn’t be a once a year thing, or something you do when there’s nothing else going on. Your business is dynamic and ever-changing and so too should your plan. And second thing, it has to be fairly simple so it doesn’t take huge time investments.

So here’s a few tips based on the K.I.S.S. philosophy (Keep It Simple Stupid). By the way, Stupid is that inter-voice that keeps you from doing the things you know are important.
