Aim
Running a small business has a lot in common with the ‘swamp theory’, ie when you’re up to your eyes in alligators, it’s difficult to remember that your original idea was to drain the swamp!

Evaluate
What are Your Objectives?
What are you trying to Achieve?
To the question “what do you want out of your life?”, the best answer I have heard is “health, wealth and loads of fun”. We may all have different ideas but most of them cluster around personal development, achievement and enjoyment. What we most often experience is aggravation, tension, unremitting pressure with little or no time to enjoy what we are doing or to celebrate our success. To “why did you originally set up your business”, the majority answer “to gain control over their
work”. This incorporates the quality of their work, the hours they work, what they do etc. Everybody who sets up a business believes that there is some way they can do it better. Control and freedom are the two most common objectives, closely followed by money. What is experienced in reality is very often the opposite. Working hours extend to fill 80% of the day. Work permeates every waking thought and controls every activity. Instead of control and freedom, the average small business owner finds him/herself tied hand and foot to the business and totally controlled by it. I have yet to meet the small business owner who has given over the weekend totally to leisure and pleasure. Most use part of the weekend to do administration and the other part to fulfill domestic obligations and requirements.
