The Southern Belle CEO

busy.  It seems the messier the day is, then the busier I get.  Maybe it’s because there is nothing else to do, so I get done everything that I have put off, but busy I am today!

Read on http://nicheologyprofitletter.com/ by Paul Evens…he really has some good, motivating post.  One of his latest focused on the last month of 2009.

Maybe this hasn’t been your year, or maybe it has be a faboulus one for you and your business.  Whichever it is, celebrate what you have accomplished!  And remember, you still have the rest of the month to end with a bang.

He listed some things that you can do, even in the waining hours of 2009, that can help your business.  It’s all common sense, keep doing what’s working for you right up till the end, and then in January 2010~kick it in gear and keep doing it!

Don’t put the brakes on, don’t stop cause it’s the holidays….keep going!  The holidays have really fueled my passion as to why I do what I do.

I love being able to stay at home, love my hours~love it all.  Doing what I do, helping others~it’s a thrill for me.  And if I need to kick it in ~ to make it work, or work better ~ then you better believe I am kicking this thing it!!

I am not going to give up ~ settle for less.  You don’t either!

Now is the very best time to GO FOR IT!

to my oldest daughter. She turned 21 today.

In looking back, if my husband and I would have waited for the perfect time to start our family, we probably never would have!

Waiting until we had enough money….ha! Never got to that point. Waiting until we had enough experience, well…..after three wonderful children, we are still learning about this parenting phase. Waiting until… well, you get the idea.

Sometimes we get caught in that trap in other areas also. Like business. I will just wait until I have the money to start correctly…..I will wait until I know what I am doing….. I will wait, and wait, and wait….

Start now, with what you have and the rest will come. Don’t start and it will never come!

So, start already!!

Sometimes the hardest part of anything is beginning. That first step. Forward motion from a state of inactivity takes great energy and motivation. It takes determination and a large dose of initiative.

One of my greatest faults is the feeling that I need to have everything perfect before I can begin a project. The plan has to be completely mapped, all the wrinkles ironed out. This frame of mind has stopped me from doing many things. If you are anything like me, get over yourself and get started.

I just read a quote from Napoleon Hill which fits this topic, “JUST WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR AND WHY ARE YOU WAITING?” (If you ever need a great read then pick up something, anything, by Napoleon Hill – he will get you focused, fast!!)

Now if you ask that question and have a legitimate answer, then by all means wait, get whatever needs done, done….then get started. But to often I hear excuses, not reasons.

So don’t let excuses stop you. Don’t wait for everything to fall into place. Get started and work out the kinks as you go. Remember, starting is the hardest part, not the planning, the initiating is… so, as the Nike slogan says so well, “Just Do It.”

I have heard it said that the hardest thing that needs doing in your business, will most likely be the next thing that needs doing. That is such a profound statement. For me it was starting this blog. I knew all the reasons why I should, and I knew the benefits of doing so….and I actually like to write.

So, what was stopping me?? Fear. The fear of failure is often the root cause of not getting started. I will write on this later, but, it often helps us to recognize our enemy. Once I realized what was causing me to hold back on starting, I could take action.

Once you are started, the motion will create more motion, science proves this everyday. And I am sure you know this also.

So, do something today. Whether it be in your business, something personal, or an odd job that needs your attention at home. Take control and take action. Just Do It… Today.
