Getting out of your own way

 I was looking for a quote online -- something I sort of remember hearing about over the years about Napoleon Bonaparte talking about it being easier to take over the world than to overcome ourselves. 

But I found this other quote by Napoleon Hill which says basically the same thing: 

“If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.”

― Napoleon Hill

And that is exactly why I find myself struggling. Most of the time, I am fighting against old tendencies in order to push the needle forward. It takes a daily commitment to doing what I can to push the company forward. And I have to be honest: some days its easier than others. 

I am still figuring out what the heck I am doing as far as setting up my business. I had an idea earlier but it seems to have to change. It is not something I can discuss right now. But I can say that I am still figuring out which direction the prevailing winds of opportunity lie. And I am going with it to setup the home office to simplify the work. And that means making a list of items that I can do in order to automate whatever I can to help me to SAVE TIME and energy. 

And that's part of what it takes.
