Sometimes we are trapped in our own thoughts and overthink things even when there is not much to think about. That can be caused by a detail-oriented attitude that many entrepreneurs share. To think globally means to move someone’s attention to the bigger picture and see that specific task as a piece of a puzzle. If you focus on the medium- and long-term goals, we will unload the specific task that stops us from moving farward.

Emphasise practicality

The best remedy remains to work on it, remembering to prioritize tasks. Put into action some of the strategies thought about to see the realization from potential to concrete. We are stacked, in fact, when we do not act accordingly on our plans. We may be scared of eventual fallacious results, for instance. But in order to be able to see what we think does not completely suit the business task, and so to adjust our thoughts, we actually need to realize them first . To make all our strategies clear and manifest, we need to transform them into operative movements. It may signify to call and talk to someone related to the task, to expose ourselves to that environment so it inspires us.

Money matter

When dealing with thought strategies, we can be tempted to try different subsequent actions, and see which one works out the best for that particular business task. It may be starting a marketing campaign, recruiting staff or simply focusing on a new product. Playing in the hand of spontaneity helps to counterbalance excessive rationality. In order to be prepared, it would be a good idea to create a pot for such urgencies, taking into account already that some funds will be wasted, but not unimportant. Knowing when exceeding, remaining in control, is part of the game.

Creativity-Irrationality

Everybody experiences wilderness and some of us may be scared of letting go. It is a part of the human being. Staying all the time in control of the events circling around your business is a big headache and an illusion as well. Sometimes we cannot explain why a client behaves in a way or why a market changes abruptly, obliging our business and us to modify it accordingly. It is important to dedicate some time every day to nurture this dark side of us. A good idea would be to unleash our creativity by bonding it with our business: social media and marketing can be considered in this instance. Canonical media like TV, radio or newspapers or modern social media platforms allow us to use creativity to attract leads, so we kill two birds with one stone. Hiring dancers, choreographers, musicians, graphicists or actors may lead your business to unexpected places and channel your creative-irrational side.

Outsourcing

There are two scenarios in which outsourcing is mostly welcome. To grow the business bigger and to discover new fields connected to your own business. To have total control is a nice start because you learn from your mistakes, but then, when the working load gets greater, outsourcing can be a good idea. Trustworthiness is the cardinal point in delegating the work and letting your business flourish. Surround yourselves with hard workers who have a good heart to grow and pay them what is in your power. Think of it as a bi-directional arrow that enriches both your business and yourselves.
