"3S Power" or The Power of Simplicity, Speed, Smartness ... are the think-tools needed for our new world.
Starting a new business is tough for some while dead simple for others. There's no need to overcloud your mind or get bogged down with complicated thoughts, only to overlook the obvious, or give up all together; think simple. Now here's a good excuse to kiss on the job! KISS - Keep It Simple & Speedy:
seed > plant > tree = idea > project > business
Everyone has an idea in the shower, but its only those who get out of the shower, dry off and start writing out their idea quickly in simple form that can make it happen.
Strike while the iron's hot! You can write out your 1 page (or 10 max) in an hour just by letting your mind flow. Then like any hot iron, you need to let it cool off so you can use it. Some of your hot irons (ideas) will turn out to be flops after you sleep on it, but some you can then start to expand into a project growing in detail over days intensively, or weeks slowly. I guarantee you will fill all the time you allocate to it so it's up to you.
Again, some of your projects may be thrown in the trash, some put on the back burner, while others may grow into a business. This may be new business for the company you are working for or your own business.
Just as you need to stay focused on synergetic projects, you also have to stay focused (totally immersed) when "cooking" ideas & projects so make sure you block out ALL interuptions!
The average American is apparently interupted 8 times/day for an average of 5 min each time by dropin visitors (and I count sudden CALLS as dropin visitors too! Just because you cant "see" them doesnt mean it's not an interuption). Likewise checking irrelevant SMS or EMAILS are also interuptions which YOU cause yourself.
So dont get distracted, overwhelmed, and stressed out by INTERUPTIONS (sms, emails, calls, visitors), GUARD your GOLDen time! This can be any time during the day when your mind works best, totally up to you. For me it's mornings. My mind is on turbo-power in the mornings so I dont let ANY interuptions sneak in while my mind is "cooking". The iron would cool-off too early and wouldn't turn out quality. It would be like trying to bake a cake or pizza while taking it out of the oven so many times, not even your dog would eat it!
Your interuptions of 8x/day x 5min = 40min/day x 5 days = 3hrs/week or 9 awake days/year! Now lets say you're interupted only half this time, that's still almost 1 full work-WEEK lost!
So don't let anyone interupt you "KISS"ing, and use that bonus week for something more important :)
Sometimes the power and beauty of simplicity is staring at you right in the eye:
