What makes you happy?
Is that a loaded question or what? I mean seriously… Well it is one I asked myself two days ago, because I figured if I could focus on the things that made me happy then I would enjoy running my business more. I had a very eye opening experience as I wrote down my lists. Here is what I came up with.
Stuff that makes me happy (in regards to my internet marketing business)
Having a plan
Working my plan
Staying focused
Taking breaks when I need them
Getting enough sleep
Drinking water
Eating well
Work during work time and not during family time
Writing my blog (this one right here)
Organization
Things that make me miserable
Checking adsense obsessively
Checking facebook obsessively
I know that doesn’t sound earth shattering, but the things that make me miserable I did all the time. In order to combat this tendency. I have written on my magic white board these two lists and look at them when I need inspiration to write a boring article or get through my 5 things for the day.
The question then becomes – Are you making yourself miserable? If so why? For me it was just habit and nothing else…. but now that I know I can change that habit.
Onwards and Upwards!
