Pick One Raising the Barr Weekly Memo: Issue No. 15

This week’s reflection point: When talking with most of my clients, I’ve observed a key attribute that is both exciting yet alarming. They love to think big, be stimulated with new and innovative ideas, and even prepare to take action. However, they then get overwhelmed with what needs to get done or sidetracked by other new tasks and priorities. The sad part is that nothing gets done and the excitement is replaced with frustration.

I call this The Entrepreneur Addiction. This addiction is no different from other addictions. The solution to this phenomenon is rather simple. Pick One! That’s right, focus on selecting the single most important task, get it done and only then should you move to the next priority. But for goodness sake, do select one and get moving now.

This week’s tip: It should be quite obvious what this week’s tip is. That’s right, pick one and go do it.
