Nut-Up or Shut-Up
I am a business person. I work out of my house because I work in a virtual environment. So sometimes I work in restaurants, or coffee shops. Sometimes I work from other peoples houses or offices. The point is I can work anywhere I can get internet. The problem with this is that I can also work any time, which is code for all the time. My workaholism tends to run rampant.
As an independent business woman one of the biggest challenges is not justifying procrastination through information. What I mean is, there is so much out there. There are blogs and webinars, videos and news feed. Twitters and polls and feeds. I can spend an entire day doing nothing but reading about business development, cutting edge tech, what to do, what not to do, what I am not doing, what I am doing better than you. I can spend so much time reading that I spend no time doing.
Stop thinking about doing it. Stop reading about doing it. Stop talking about doing it.
In the immortal words of Woody Harrelson from Zombieland: It is time to Nut-Up or Shut-Up
