You may remember getting this advice, "mind your business." Well, we really should. You are in the business of you.

Only you know what that entails - you work, move, decide, and do all things as part of the business of you. So we should mind our own business. In fact, we should look at ourselves as a business. Taking things more seriously.

Having a plan and executing that plan. Holding ourselves accountable and raising our standards and expectations.

Only as it regards to the business of you that is, as for others we need to be patient end tolerant.

Steven Pressfield calls that endeavor, "YOU INC." If you didn't know it, you are already in power and control, you are the CEO of your own life, so lets make it official.

Incorporate. Start thinking yourself as "YOU INC."

Create and uphold a personal mission statement, code of conduct, values and vision. And make choices based on that foundation. Maximizing share holder value. Turn a profit, Cut expenses. Be responsible and innovative.

We're only here now, so do some good with this time. Life is long if we know how to use it and do so, properly. So do it properly. Companies nave a business plan, well create a life plan. Get your own board of advisors (mentors). As CEO, your job is very important and you also can't do it all. Focus on the essential and have others to do the rest. Focus your attention to what actually moves the needle, to what really gives you momentum for growth. "YOU INC." is counting on you. Don't procrastinate. Take it, this, serious.
