Information about Isaac Newton is probably somewhere in your head. Even if you hadn’t thought about him until right this minute after I mentioned him. Remember how he sat in the shade of an apple tree just having a nice day and enjoying the cool breezes? But what happened next?
Yeah, an apple fell on his head.
And remember how Mr. Newton got so mad, he got up and stomped all the way home?
Yeah, no.
That’s not the story in your head. Right?
Nope. I’m sure you remember how he wrote down his notes about what had happened. And then he formulated his ideas for gravity. And things sort of fell into place after that (pun intended).
Here’s the thing.
If you’re a business owner or any kind of entrepreneur (or wannabe), you’ve got a lot of stuff going on in your head. Ideas. Dreams. Plans. Did I mention great ideas? But if you don’t write it down, don’t be surprised if some or all those ideas disappear as quickly as the steam off your coffee.
Because, if you run a business long enough, you discover you just can’t remember everything.
And it might be in your personality to wanna try. But I suggest you resist that temptation. I know, from experience, when you write it down, your ideas and dreams stick around. And even get more real. Because you can open up your notes and see them any time you like.
Even when you vow to follow through, stress creeps in. Day-to-day tasks pile up. You get too busy. Too tired. And when you least expect it, you “put it off till tomorrow.” Sound familiar?
So what’s a busy business owner to do?
First, don’t keep it in your head.
Then, make a list. But not just any list. Your list should include only the steps, activities, or tasks that get you closer to YOUR goals. I’ve seen business owners 10X their business by following their list and following through.
I know I’ve mentioned this before.
And I hammer home the point to my one-on-one clients. Because I know it works, beyond a shadow of a doubt. When you take the time to write it all down, you can focus more on what’s truly important to you. It’s not magic. But it works like magic. Because then you don’t depend on your brain to remember it all. I like to think of it this way. Your brain is for creation. It’s not just a storage compartment.
