SM0004 How to Cope When Everything is Urgent and How to Get Off Your Ass When it’s Not

What’s In This Episode

• How to Start the Day with Momentum
• How to Make Doing Your Own Tasks Just as Easy as Doing Somebody Else’s Tasks

Have you ever noticed that it’s easier to help somebody else solve their problems or help them get something done, that it is to solve your own problems or get your own work done? In this episode we’ll figure out why that is…and how to use it!
We’ll also talk about how to get going in the morning, how to do yourself a favor, and maybe get your whole coffee situation in order along the way.

What’s In This Episode

• How to Motivate Yourself to Do Anything You Need to Do

As solo entrepreneurs our very livelihoods depend upon being able to put one foot in front of the other day after day.  If we can increase the number of days were we are motivated and excited to keep going — where we not only get through the day be are excited to take it on — well…, it can only help.

In fact even for non-solo entrepreneurs, it’s not a bad thing to learn.

What’s In This Episode

• What the series is all about (hint: it’s about productivity for solo entrepreneurs!)
• The right mindset for achieving continuous improvement at all your tasks
• How to steal the tactics of multi-employee sweatshops and adapt them to your little solo business (while somehow remaining 37% less evil than other capitalist pigs!)
• The right way to interpret Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” (hint: as a list of productivity hacks, not as the foundational document of the study of economics!)

You’ll also get a motivating reminder of why you should keep at solo-entrepreneuring, despite all the challenges.  After all, nobody wants to work at a pin factory all their life.

Since this is the first episode, I figure it’s a good time to go back to the basics of productivity and business.  I mean go really far back to basics, like back to 1776 and Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations”.  Btw, as usual for me, there are a few f-bombs here and there, so probably NSFW.
