In Every Obstacle There is a Lesson
Tags: business internet, cats, conference call, internet business, obstacles, webinar
Well, I started my 24 hour project on trying to create a PowerDay. The goal was to spend as much of a 24 hour block of time “Working ON my business” vs. “Working IN my business”. First let me preface the results by saying in every obstacle there is a lesson, it is up to you to discover the lesson.
Here are the lessons I took away from the past 24 hours:
1. Plan ahead or face the obstacles of poor planning.Two of my obstacles yesterday
This was only 10 minutes into a conference call yesterday. You can see the webinar on the left screen. Neither cat was there when I joined the call. Shutting the door to my office would have prevented this.
2. Always have a plan but be flexible. 45 minutes into the call I received a phone call from by best client saying their network backbone had failed. It was a medical facility so I had to leave the call and head up to troubleshoot the problem and obtain new equipment and reinstall the network. I finished the work about 2pm today.
So much for the PowerDay.
3. Sometimes the thing that you see as an obstacle can be a benefit if you open your mind to it.
While I ended up not even working in or on my business(internet business) my other company made a significant profit from that phone call that rescheduled my past 24 hours.
4. So final lesson, things happen for a reason, if you learn to accept that and not fight it then there is always the chance to try again tomorrow but with new information/lessons that will help you.
So on Friday at 7am I will be trying another PowerDay.
What lesson have you learned lately from an obstacle that presented itself? I would like to hear from you, leave a message in the comments section below.
All the best,
Harry
