Why a Focus Milestone is needed when you are a Doer
In this podcast episode, I share my recent experience with hiring a mentor to improve my productivity and accountability as an entrepreneur. I also discuss the challenge of managing multiple ideas and projects simultaneously, emphasizing the importance of setting focus milestones to ensure progress and completion.
Drawing parallels between nurturing projects and parenting, explaining how each project should reach a certain level of independence (like a child getting a driver's license) before moving on to the next.
This approach helps me and my clients stay focused and achieve our goals without getting overwhelmed by new ideas or unfinished tasks.
