What can a business owner do to keep themselves on track?

No matter how much money you have in your bank account, you still have the same number of hours in a day, so start your budget on equal footing with your competitors. This can actually be quite fun as it gives you some realism to what is actually possible and helps keep you on track.

The reason to track time in a budget (as well as the financial budget) is not to beat ourselves up over how little time or money we have. It is about overcoming the unconscious mind that leads us to watch the cat videos or has us buy that shiny new toy even though it will not help you achieve your goals.

These budgets in our planning give us a mechanism to keep us on track in a concise way. So, put that time budget together and then figure out how you are going to most wisely use the time you have for each task at hand or figure out what help you need to achieve your goals.
