I was just reading This Post (http://www.small-business-forum.net/planning-your-business/341-down-economy-3.html#post4622) in the Down Economy thread and some kind of lightbulb went off in my head when i read this
Another great analogy that I think can be applied to the business world is an old Chinese proverb that says the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is right now.
It kind of got me thinking, maybe i need to set my self a sort of small business goal while i am stuck at home off work. I figure i have 5 full business days that i am going to be at home, and i should look to do something with my business, and make things happen, and as the quote while the best time would have been 2 years ago, the second best time is right now.
I was thinking along the lines of getting 1 sale or 1 new customer, or something, it isn't to big, but could provide a challenge that will get me motivated. What do you think, maybe any other idea's for my little 5 day challenge, I have about 32 hours to figure it out, so i look forward to your input.
