One thing that I've done during this last year was to create a mission statement for my business. There are so many things that have to be done with business, but I choose what is most important to focus most of my time on by seeing how it relates back to my mission statement. I've found the same can relate to my whole life, by taking the time to write down the 5 most important things in my life, I can easily look back at that list when I'm feeling overwhelmed to pick out what is most important to focus on.

Entrepreneurs can get pulled in so many disparate directions; it can water down their efforts to the point that they lose sight of the inspiration that led them to go into business for themselves in the first place. When this happens, they really need do need to zero in on not only what's most important and critical to their success, but also what's nearest and dearest to their heart. Karyn…your blog is spot-on.

I was browsing small business blogs and stumbled across yours--as soon as I saw the N.R. quote I knew I was in the right place. (I just bought three more books online... they should arrive tomorrow.) Anyway, regarding your blog, it is very true that you have to prioritize. My mother is self-employed as a Social Worker (and I am self-employed as a private contractor). We both have a "perfectionist" problem -- it may be hereditary. However, we have both learned through trial and error that being able to prioritize what, specifically, you want to excel at and maybe letting the rest go a little is not irresponsible, but necessary. Thank you for pointing that out to me, my mom, and the rest of the small business perfectionist world! First, I’d like to say, LOVE the Nora Roberts quote!
