Lately I’ve been keeping an “I Am/I Am Not” list in the back of my notebook to help determine the skills and services I want to offer to my client base. This helps me accomplish a few things:
- It helps me narrow down exactly what my business “does”
- It helps me determine the things I need to get better at and develop through research, education, and practice
- It helps me cope when working on things I don’t necessarily love doing
The primary goal of my list is to figure out how I can spend more time doing the things on the “I Am” list (and get paid for them), and how to spend as little time as possible (if any) doing things on the “I Am Not” list.
There is nothing super-revolutionary about this practice, but it’s just a way to keep my mind from getting too cluttered.
How do you make sure you are doing what you WANT to be doing?
