One thing about being a business owner, there is never a lack of work to do. As I type this I can think of all of the things I still want to do along with all of the things I still need to get done. What I have learned however, is that I can only do any one thing very well at a time. So I will start there.

We entrepreneurs can stay in our heads for a long time. Sometimes we want excellence. Sometimes we want the time to be precise. And sometimes we are just afraid that it won’t be right. Problem is, until we get out of our heads, we’ll never know the answer to anything and it will always be in our heads.

The question is how do you get out of your head?
Here I’ll list 5 tips that can get you from thinking to doing in a matter of minutes:

1) Write down a plan with a time-line – sometimes seeing what you need to get done on paper will eliminate the sticky points because you can see it right in front of you.

2) Give yourself a time limit and tell others. If you really want take responsibility for something, tell somebody that you are going to do something by a certain date. They’ll hold you to it.

3) Let go of “perfect”. It doesn’t exist, so just let it go. Do your best and trust you can always improve.

4) Ask for support. Find someone you trust to push you. A personal coach can do wonders for your business and your brain.

5) Just do one thing. Just get moving. Take a leap of faith. Doing something beats doing nothing any day.

Being in your head is a lonely and sometimes scary place. You can be far stronger putting yourself out there. It may not always be perfect, but it will always be right.
