One of the first things I do when trying to remember what I had planned for the day and what I should do next is to create a list, so I don\u2019t have to think about it anymore.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build Solid Business Plans<\/strong>: Take the time to build a solid business plan and don\u2019t ever expect it to be \u201cfinished\u201d as it needs to live and breathe in order to be successful. Be conservative in your planning and understate your market, capabilities and revenue. At the same time, make sure to over estimate your expenses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mind Your Focus<\/strong>: It\u2019s too easy to have too many great ideas and not enough focus. There\u2019s always time for the next great thing. Focus on one major initiative at a time. If you have the courage to start something on your own, have the sense to focus on one thing and do it better than anyone else.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Via CEO Blog Nation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CEO Blog Nation, a community hub for entrepreneurs and business owners, has released an eBook available for download that shares advice from Ben Sayers, CEO of VoIP Supply.
