Find Time

I hear this all the time from people who are going to start a little part-time business to pull in some extra income. They explain their plans in great detail and then go on dreaming but don’t act. They continue to walk around with the dream in their heads but have always got an excuse to take the decisive step and take action. The reasons they don’t act? It’s not the right time. They haven’t got time at the moment; they’re going to start after Christmas, summer…….and on and on.

It’s amazing how easy it is to find time when we cut out all the wasteful and pointless things we do with our time. Take surfing the net for example. This has now become one of the biggest time consuming activities in our society. The couch potato has been replaced by the internet potato. How many hours are wasted drifting from one site to another?

Cut out pointless surfing and you will suddenly discover that you have hours of spare time to use in productive activity. Then there’s that traditional time wasting activity, watching television for hour after hour. One program after another; hypnotized by the screen in the corner.

I’m not saying you need to cut out these activities completely from your life. Life’s not all about work. We need our relaxation time and there’s nothing wrong with laying on the couch and watching a TV program or surfing the net for entertainment. If you want to start a little business however you need to find the time to do it. Something has to give. You have to give something to gain something.

If you want to start a little business that will provide you with an extra income then you are going to have to find the time to do it. There’s no getting away from it. Just like you can’t get fit by sitting on the couch you can’t start a business without giving up something. If you’re serious about starting that business, about securing yourself an extra income then leave the TV, stop the mindless surfing and act.
