Do You Take Your Own Advice?

As a young entrepreneur working with other entrepreneurs, I am constantly studying their business tactics and strategies. As the saying goes, the bricklayer never gets around to finishing his chimney and the seamstress rarely sews for herself. Similarly, I’ve noticed that some people in business don’t always take personal advantage of their own expertise.

Whether it’s managing, organizing, arranging, consulting or selling – customers or clients may glimpse into an  entrepreneur’s personal life and see a disconnect. Most of us are aware of this and I believe it is a big source of stress.  That nagging feeling of “I’ll get around to it,” is an unnecessary burden to carry through the day.

For the rest of the week, treat yourself like your own client, take the advice and wisdom that you give others – finish laying the bricks on your chimney or complete your unsewn dress.
