Moving With Might Accomplishes Greatness!

I recently moved from one location in California to another. It was a crazy couple of days to say the least. I learned something very important from the experience that I would like to share with you.

I want to share with you what happens with hard core focused unwavering energy.

Imagine for a moment if you will that you are moving. Take a look around you if you happen to be at home while reading this. Look at all of your possessions, look at everything. Now imagine that you have to get all of that stuff from your house to another house and you have just two days to do it. I mean everything.

Here are some of the things you might have to do.

1. Call movers

2. Ask friends for help

3. Clean

4. Get boxes

5. Negotiate with movers

6. Time the move

7. Turn off gas, water, power.

8. Turn on gas, water, power at new place

9. Turn off internet and cable

10. Turn on internet and cable at new place

11. Pack clothes

ect….
I think you get the idea. A lot has to happen during a move.

Guess what…..

Regardless of what has to happen, we always get it done. Many times afterwards we say to ourselves. “WoW, I don’t know how we just did that”

It takes an incredible amount of focused energy to accomplish this. You can’t really allow any distractions to come in because it might throw you off.

So here is the thought that came to me. I know it’s not original, but I wanted share it just the same.

What if you treated your business like a crazy move. Just for 3 days a month or every other month. You won’t be able to sustain it because you would just get completely burned out. Just little sprints here and there with complete focused almost maniacal energy. Just go crazy with your business. No distractions, no let up just make some Incredibly Giant to do lists, lists that you know will never get done and attack those lists like a nut job.

After I completed my move, Julie and I were mentally and physically spent. That’s how you should feel after one of the sprints. Imagine what your business will look like if you do this just every once in a while.

A favorite quote of mine from Stephen Pierce goes like this. “What will make you great is not found in the world of easy and convenient.” I think about that quote quite a bit. I love to read biographies of highly successful entrepreneurs and people. One thing I noticed about all of them. They take incredible amounts of consistent action. In other words. They get stuff done.

Let’s all get more stuff done. It feels really good at the end of the day when you do.

Hey Stefan,
Great thought… treat your business like a crazy move just for 3 days a month. Anyone can do that for 3 days.
Thanks, I’m glad I dropped by.

Hey, this is something I never really thought about before but I’m sure it works. I Live in Turkey and we have a religious holiday coming up soon. I think I’ll follow your advice and spend some time on building up my blog and business in that time.
