From 600 Emails to Clear Focus

ByJowi

Monday mornings can be rough sometimes.

We were gone for a longer weekend, and then I sat down on Monday morning trying to get back to work.

​

When I opened my MacBook, I saw the stack of 600 unopened emails.

Because I was gone, I also didn’t have a clear next step in mind.

The lack of clarity got me overwhelmed.

​

I knew I had to get back into the work.

So I took a step back.

What is the next task that matters most?

I just get back to my routine.

​

Let’s get started with my daily Newsletter.

What was a story that happened this weekend?

How does that relate to you?

Then I wrote the Newsletter.

​

It took me right back to my routine of building my business.

That is the power of the habit stack.

One habit can pull you back in.

​

There is a second upside.

Writing my Newsletter every morning helps me think of you.

Then I’m getting grounded to do the next thing that will help you, too.

​

This way I’m not distracted by all the things I could do.

Instead, I’m directed to your next problem.

Trying my best to solve that for you.

​

This is what pulls me back in on a Monday morning.

How I go from overwhelmed to clarity on what to do next.

​

It’s those simple habits that make me better in business.

    Done beats Perfect How often have you waited before publishing something? Maybe you have never published anything yet because you thought it’s not good enough. It’s not perfect. I have seen so many people get stuck on the path to building their business. They all get stuck in the Perfection Trap. They think it has to be a masterpiece before anybody else can see it. When in the beginning nobody will see it anyway. Not many people will ever see anything you publish. The few that do – will not…

    It is so interesting. A lot of people judge the business by their social following.He got 100k followers—he must have a massive business! Somehow we doubt that small accounts are bigger businesses. I stopped looking at the following and started to look for the actual interaction. There is a lot to be said about the right likes. You can tell fast which small accounts don’t work — because they tell you. With bigger accounts, it’s getting harder to see the difference. The funny thing is: A lot…

    Hey Reader, In so many videos I’ve watched over the years, there is often the idea that business is so exciting. There is always something new happening. There is always change. You’re in a high-speed car chase. While I definitely get that—especially when you’re starting out—you always want to be overwhelmed. The reality is that business is boring. There is not much happening once you find a routine that works. The main goal is to stick to that routine as long as you can. I do like to be by…

    Social media gets pretty boring.I read the same posts over and over again. Why do most people post the same stuff? It feels like there is nobody sharing fresh ideas. There are waves of trends.As soon as somebody posts something good,it gets reposted, repurposed a hundred times. They all look alike.Sound alike.Are there no new ideas? I believe it’s for one reason: Because people are actually scared their post won’t get enough likes. They hold back their genuine self, fresh thoughts, and new…

  • Avoid This Pricing Mistake Now

    I sometimes click on ads. It is interesting to see how they are set up. I like to study what they do. On first sight, the ad looked good. The offer is interesting. The price is decent. I always feel the urge to double-check prices. And again: You are being charged $97 upfront and then $497 monthly. There is a price increase by 500% at the end of month one. Again, I found a sneaky price. This is why people get frustrated by online gurus. They are awesome at sales and suck at customer…
