I would say the biggest one is getting into a routine of working with a team – asking myself first if ‘this’ is something that should be delegated vs doing it myself, etc.

Great challenge Kelly! I think many of us can relate to this one. The goal is to outsource anything that you can – basically, anything that doesnt require your personal voice/touch. Doing this will free you up to do the things you enjoy most – and to explore new things that you can do for your business.

Getting into the routine of it just takes a bit of time and adjustment, but it also helps if you have great hand-picked team members that you feel 100% confident with.

Similar to your challenge, one of mine has been to find new people to add to my team – vs spending that same amount of time to just “get it done” myself. In the end I know full well it is worth it to invest the time in a good team, so its just a matter of getting over that hump and making it happen.

I have so many things vying for my attention, including more and more marketing ideas and methods, that I find it hard to concentrate on the single most important thing(s) needed to get my project going.

When in project mode, its best to limit distractions and work through your action plan with tunnel vision. That can be hard to do I know, but you are most productive when you get “on a roll”.

Check email – and whatever else ultimately distracts you – first thing in the morning and put a time limit on it. Anything of interest can be saved in a “read later” folder, with the main goal being that you speed through it and then get to your own action plan. This way you wont feel like you’ve missed out on anything, or worry that its piling up on you – if thats a concern.

Is it because I am in denial about having a ‘biggest challenge’?

Or that I don’t like to admit I have any challenges?

Oh deep deep thoughts on a Sunday Mom’s Day…

Of course I have challenges! Right now I would say the biggest one is getting into a routine of working with a team – asking myself first if ‘this’ is something that should be delegated vs doing it myself, etc.

Every day seems to bring new ideas into my inbox, and it’s hard to ignore them.

I know I’m already exploring some of the ideas we came up with (thanks to all who helped!), and I came up with more ideas afterward just thinking about it!

I look forward to the next Brainstorming Hour!
