The Time is Now
When you first started your business, the vision was clear. You had ambitious goals—whether it was growing a strong team, achieving financial milestones, or making a real impact in your industry.
But then reality set in.
You navigated the highs and lows, the challenges and the unexpected twists that come with entrepreneurship. You made it through the crucial first year, built some momentum, and found a level of comfort. But as time went on, you caught yourself thinking:
"I’ll push for growth when things feel steadier."
"I’ll take that next step when my team is more reliable."
The excuses pile up, and before you know it, opportunity is passing you by.
Instead of waiting for the “right time,” what if you decided that the right time is now?
Breaking Free from the ‘Not Now’ Mindset
Eckhart Tolle distinguishes between two types of time: clock time and psychological time. Clock time is practical—it helps us organise meetings, schedule deadlines, and measure progress. Psychological time, however, keeps us trapped in an endless loop of “one day, when things are perfect, I’ll…”
The reality? Everything you will ever achieve will happen in the present moment.
The past is done. The future isn’t guaranteed. The only time you truly have control over is now.
How Are You Spending Your Time?
Think about how carefully you manage your money. You set budgets, track expenses, and make strategic investments. But do you give the same attention to how you spend your time?
Unlike money, time doesn’t circulate. Once a day is spent, it’s gone forever. Yet many business owners operate without ever questioning whether their time investments are actually yielding results.
You might have the best intentions—structured plans, goals, and priorities—but then:
A team member makes a mistake, and you have to jump in to fix it.
A last-minute issue arises, and suddenly your day is derailed.
A new hire starts, and you spend hours training instead of moving your business forward.
Unexpected events will always happen. The difference is how you respond. Will you keep letting distractions take over? Or will you commit to prioritising what truly moves the needle?
Make a Change Now
Your business will not grow if you keep operating in survival mode. The only way to break the cycle is to intentionally invest your time in the things that create real progress.
If you’re struggling to manage your time, stay accountable, or take the next step in your business, let’s change that.
