Most entrepreneurs struggle with project management. In fact, every entrepreneur I've worked with has stumbled over one or more essential components of project management. What are your biggest struggles?
- Can't get or stay organized? Are you facing project mayhem? Trying to juggle too many balls? Most entrepreneurs find it so hard to get organized and stay ahead of things that they'd rather wait for emergencies and put out the fire. That approach to project management is a good way to get burned!
- Do you jump from one project to another, never sure if you're getting the right things done in the right order? Wouldn't you like to know how to handle that impulsive behavior and focus your efforts? To succeed as an entrepreneur, you've got to be "effective," not just "busy."
- Or maybe you can't get started? Do you procrastinate, especially to avoid boring tasks? You love excitement of building a business. Every day is new! Is it any wonder that planning out every step is scarey? But you CAN have it both ways!
- Do you have trouble setting and reaching goals? Many entrepreneurs do. You're not afraid of hard work, but if you set the wrong goals or set them the wrong way, even working non-stop won't get you closer to realizing your dreams. There IS a better way!
- Maybe you're a rebel? entrepreneurs instinctively go against the status quo. But this tendency to go "against the grain" can make everything harder. Are you focusing on your strengths? Or do you insist on doing everything yourself because you "should" be able to! Align what you do with what comes naturally and you'll succeed like never before.
- And speaking of delegating... Do you know what tasks you must do, and what activities you need to assign? And do you know how to make sure it gets done, and done properly? Or are you the only one who can do it right? Do you need a cure for perfectionism? Perfectionism stops many projects with huge potential dead in their tracks. But you CAN prevent it!
- Do you feel overwhelmed? Entrepreneurs have a million and one things to do (oops! that's one million and two!) You feel like a deer caught in the headlights! If you're tired of not making any progress, you need an action plan. It's not as hard as it looks if you take the simple approach I'll share with you.
- Have trouble finishing a project once the challenging problems have been solved? Following through and cleaning up the last details drives you crazy, so you end up with project after project 90% complete, but none delivered, and worse, none making you money! It doesn't have to be that way.
All Entrepreneurs Need Project Management Skills
As much as you try to avoid it, you need to plan and track every project. So you need to manage projects as soon as you have one. And as an entrepreneur, you have projects from Day One. That's right, from the very first day you decide to start a business.When you start a business, you need a business plan -- your first project. Set up your office. Another project. Market your business. More projects. And we haven't even mentioned delivering products and services to clients yet!
Entrepreneurs are visionaries. You dream big. You're intuitive. You instantly make connections others miss, and you spot opportunities you can't believe no one else noticed. But every one of those opportunities is a project. If you don't plan your projects, track your projects and manage your projects, you can't build your business.
The good news is that with the right approach, you can chart a clear path to success and overcome every obstacle you're facing.
Only Two Possible Strategies
Entrepreneurs always have too much going on. Heck, you LIKE to have many things going on at once. However, when things get out of control, you can quickly be overwhelmed. That leaves you with only two options:- You can stop trying to do so much, or
