So when I had to get my new website written I knew I had to do something to make the project fast, fun, and simple. Writing an entire website from scratch in just 6 working days (and no, I didn't work over the weekend) is no mean feat to accomplish. And it's not like I had all day, every day to do it either. I had coaching clients, teleclasses, email to take care of. You know, the usual demands any business likes to make of us. What I didn't do is put it off, tell myself I couldn't do it, or lose sight of my goal. My new website was going live NO MATTER WHAT! Before I share with you the five actions I took to get a big project done quickly and easily, let me ask you a question: What is a project you have on your desk right now? How great would it feel to have it finished? So, here are the 5 actions I took to make starting-and finishing-my project possible. They'll work for your project too if you just say "yes" and don't let any excuse stand in your way! Action #1 Decide I'm not talking about the wimpy kind of decision that sounds something like, "Sure, I'd like to get three speaking gigs lined up soon." That isn't a decision. It's just wishful thinking. The kind of decision I'm talking about sounds like, "I have three new speaking gigs at the end of the week!" Action #2 Attention Since this project is a priority you give it attention. What amazes me is that it doesn't take much time, it just takes attention to get what you want accomplished. I gave my website project attention every day. No slacking, no excuses. I just did it. I didn't work on it full time because I didn't have full time. It still got done. Action #3 Aim Being a perfectionist, I embraced this project as the perfect opportunity to aim for a different goal. Completion, not perfection. What a relief! I knew if I fiddled with each page until it was perfect I would never meet my goal. So up those pages went. Perfectly, wonderfully, imperfect. Now that the project is done I can fiddle with the pages all I want. Or not. Action #4 Focus Big projects have lots of little steps. I was not about to let overwhelm sneak in and sabotage my progress. So I made a list of each step, down to the last nitty-gritty detail. Then I worked the list. It kept me on track and made it easy to celebrate success as each item was checked off. Action #5 Team I started my project last Thursday. By Monday (about half way) I said, "Why am I doing this all alone?" and promptly emailed a long list of items to my trusty virtual assistant, Kathy. She plunged in and had a blast blazing her way through her assignment. I felt relieved. She was cheering me on. And her help ensured my success. Now it's your turn! Pick a project that's been hanging around too long and follow the same simple steps I use. Then let me know about your success and I'll send you a personalized congratulations email! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kendall SummerHawk, the "Horse Whisperer for Business" delivers smart, savvy ways entrepreneurs can turn their hectic business into a smooth-running, fun, 6-figure money-making dream.
