Main topic of the Show: Do the Work

Murphy is a bitch. Murphy likes to visit right after Self Reliance Festival and other busy times. Murphy came over last week. Or did he?

The funny thing about Murphy is we blame “Murphy” for things going wrong but whose fault is it really.

Roaster

It is all your fault

Do Hard Things because if you don't do them now you will have to do harder things later and this goes for personal health (miking the right small choices every day) and for your business.

As the owner, YOU see things that need addressing and you have to make a big choice: Do it yourself or set it up for someone else to do it.

The answer is not that simple.

That was THE WORK that had to be done so I did it.

Because failure is not an option.

So back to my roasters and Murphy. It wasnt Murphy’s fault. It was mine.

But right after they told me they wanted some extra handling. In a week where I felt tired. In a week with extra emails to answer, supplies to stash, communications to write, and steps to take to set up a great 2025.

What saves the day: My3Things

Doing the Work means identifying which work is most important to do.

Example: The location of the ditch for electrical service

How to use My3Things, steps to take – Business owner: everything is your fault even when it isn't your fault.

Doing the work that was most important first Doing the work to keep healthy Doing the work earlier and later than everyone else

Because sometimes doing the work is what needs to be done.

Make it a great week!
