Now you are probably thinking that Kosta has lost his mind…well not really! There is an African Proverb that asks “How do you eat an elephant?” The simple answer is “One bite at a time”!

When you own a home managed business, you are pulled in many directions every day. Meet with potential customers, attend training seminars, make telephone calls, and pick up the children from school, the list goes on and on.

Not only can they be overwhelming, the daily urgencies can pull you away from your long-term goals and objectives.

Your long-terms goals and objectives sit quietly on the sideline, politely waiting their turn while you chase the day-to-day challenges of the business that scurry to and fro, absorbing all of your time and energy.

Like eating an elephant, achieving success in business comes gradually. If you look at the enormity of our undertaking, you can feel overwhelmed and paralyzed, unable to do anything.  On the other hand, if you assess your task, make a plan, and dig in, you soon will achieve your goals.

Will that million dollar paycheck happen over night?……Probably not!

If you are following your plan and making steady progress, don’t be discouraged if you have feel like you have only nibbled on a knuckle or gnawed on an earlobe.

That cheque you get for $75.00 is just the first bite. As you continue eating, you will accomplish your goals as you eat the elephant on your way to bigger and greater achievements.
