My last blog was on the topic of dreams and the fact that my 10 year old started his first business. As he started the day I asked him about his sales projections and what he thought he could profit at the end of the day. As I finished my question, he turned around and said" I will make $5.00 profit by the end of the day. Well,he made $9.00 and was a happy boy at day's end.

The reason I start with this today is because I noticed something about the way he conducted business throughout the day. He only sat at his lemonade stand during the peak traffic hours. He figured out that this was more productive to work on other things during non-peak hours of traffic.

Why am I bringing this up? Most business people confuse activity with production. I know lots of people who stay very busy, but get very little done. Are you one of those people? Isn't it time to stop all of the activity and begin to focus on what you truly want and desire. Do you want to be productive instead of being busy? You become productive when you change your thoughts. If you focus on outcomes instead of being busy, you begin to schedule what is necessary in your life and you don't schedule what isn't. All unnecessary activities are replaced with things that bear fruit and bring you closer to your desires. So remember before you put one more thing on your already crowded plate, ask yourself, will this produce the results that get me closer to my dreams?
