Here’s a quick outline of what I shared:
Over the past week, I’ve done a lot of dancing in my office chair. You see, my private Facebook group, Productivity for Women Entrepreneurs (join us!), DOUBLED in size last week and I do a little happy dance everytime someone requests to join.
And I’m having conversations with people as they join and something that’s popped up a couple times is “I’m spending a lot of time doing things, but it’s not turning into money.”
I’ve spent some time thinking about this the last few days.
The truth is, there’s a lot of things that can contribute to that situation.
This week, I want to talk about the difference between urgent and important.
While they are related, they are not the same thing.
Let me share a conversation I had with someone a while ago.
Rhonda and I were talking (that’s not really her name) and she shared that she needed to make more money that month. So, we talked about everything she was currently working on and wanted to get done.
After a bit, Rhonda said: “You know, I really need to send this client an invoice next week. I probably should have sent it two weeks ago, but I’m just too busy.”
I’d like to say that I’ve never heard anything like this before, but I have.
Why does this happen?
Because sending an invoice is important, but it’s not always considered urgent – until it’s really urgent.
Now, I’m not saying that this is always what’s going on in the situation of someone “doing a lot, but it’s not turning into money.”
However, it is something to look at.
So, for this week’s Wednesday LIVE with Evie, we’ll be talking more about the difference between urgent and important. You can watch the video here.
What habit do you want to create despite your reasons/excuses otherwise?

There’s one activity that’s been on my mind a lot recently. My legs and soul ache for it.
What is this activity?
Walking outside.
I LOVE nature. And I happen to live about 10 minutes away from about 3 different forest preserves and walking paths.
But I haven’t made it part of my routine.
Why?
Well, I have lots of excuses:
I’ll stop there. I have many, many more excuses. And that’s really what they are, excuses and not reasons.
Basically, they’re all some version of: I don’t have time and I’m not willing to make time for it.
Yet, it’s still a habit I want to create and find time for, but I don’t.
Do you have anything like that?
A habit that you want to create that you have lots of excuses to avoid. And yet it stays on your radar because it really is something you want to do?
Or maybe for you, it’s something that you know will grow your business, but it’s outside your comfort zone and a little (or a lot!) scary?
Well, over in the Productivity for Women Entrepreneurs private Facebook group, I asked the ladies what habit they want to add this week and commitments have been made! And I added my commitment to walking each day (now I HAVE to do it! 😉 ).
If you want to add your new habit (or what habit you’re trying out for the week), you can find the post here.
And if you can’t see the post because you’re not a member, request to join and I’ll add you!
If you haven’t already guessed it, this week’s Wednesday Live with Evie is about habits.
I’ll talk about how to create them, change them, look at those pesky excuses/reasons and answer any questions you have!
Wednesday Live with Evie is Wednesday at 1pm CST from my Facebook page here.
What’s one thing you wish you had a system for?
