✅ Here’s a summary of what was discussed in this coaching/feedback episode: Breaking down the project into smaller tasks Doing a time analysis Getting clarity on the business idea Christopher Hayles’ entry on Facebook contained the following: “Ok gents, I'm at a loss. 3 kids 5-16, work full time for a consultancy company that works closely with Microsoft. We do cloud migrations, automation, data science and business intelligence. Lots of highly sought after stuff. Obviously, this is pretty well paid.” … I'm not wasting a bunch of time. I rarely watch tv, I play soccer once a week, I time limit my social media, I don't get enough sleep as it is. I'm just kinda stuck. Question: How have you managed to break away from the routine to build something on the side? Is it necessary to let some of the other plates drop, temporarily? DILEMMA ➡️ I've long wanted to break out on my own, but somehow seems there's no time whatsoever to work on any personal projects that could eventually turn into a business. First: Choose a project - singular - that ties in with your business Second: Break down the project into small tasks Third: Work on one little task at a time maybe one each day or week When the project is looked at as a whole, it appears as one gigantic mountain; impossible to scale When it is broken down and given its own focus, the size shrinks DILEMMA ➡️ Usually there's barely enough time to take care of myself after taking care of everyone else and my full-time job. First: Do a time analysis by putting it all down on paper Second: Track your time over a 2-week period and see how you are spending your time. Be brutally honest Third: Look over the data and see what is there that was a time-waster or can be removed DILEMMA ➡️ I also have a hard time justifying (to myself) diverting funds to any of my pet projects. First: It is understandable if you are diverting funds to a pet project. This makes it sound like an expensive hobby Second: Be clear on what it is you are pursuing: is it a hobby or a business? Third: If it is a business, then see it as investing funds, rather than diverting funds ✅ Now Your Turn Go to legacybuildingdads.com, you can request entry into the group, where you’ll answer a couple of questions and if you meet criteria, you’ll be given access to this high achievers group.
