Mastering the Art of Self-Management

Deepassionate1 Speaks 

Being a new entrepreneur has pushed me out of my comfort zone into a place where I am learning that self-management is very important. Entrepreneurship doesn't give you a license to cancel out your day to day responsibilities and if you have a career like I do, you definitely have to be SMART with your time, energy and attention. 
​
How am I able to do all things? 
I know that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" Phil 4:13  BUT knowing without doing doesn't produce fruit. 

Doing is the other half!
Your ability to prioritize your goals is the key to making progress. You must make a daily decision about what must be done and hold yourself accountable for the execution of the necessary actions  to attain your goals. 

Questions Worth Answering

1. What are you willing to give up to bring your vision to fruition?
2. What will keep you going in the days when you feel like giving up? 
3.  Why do you believe your vision should be executed this year?
