Reduce distractions
Get rid of anything which distracts you from your business. If you’re serious about growing a business, you need to be able to concentrate on it. A lot.
Stop anything which distracts you from your business, whether that’s a messy desk, too much TV, friends who want you to come to the pub on a school night because they don’t have an all encompassing creative project to make them happy. Do not chase after the shiny thing.
Caveat – obviously if you have distractions such as a young baby, partner’s illness or family emergency this advice is completely wrong and should be disregarded.
