Dear Diary,

I have forsaken you over the last month. You see, I’ve been really busy and when it comes time to sit down and write a thought provoking blog post, I just don’t have the energy left. I try, honestly I do. But I’m limited by the same three resources every entrepreneur is limited by:

TIME, MONEY, ENERGY

These are the three non-renewable resources that all entrepreneurs have… Eventually you will run out of all three. I have been managing my time very effectively, squeaking every waking minute out of my day to work on my training programs and my products. But alas, I eventually run out of energy and crash into bed. Of course I could pay someone to do the menial tasks, but I feel that money is better invested in the infrastructure of my business, therefore some of my time is wasted on non-revenue generating activities, further adding to the problem.

I don’t mean to sound whiny, its actually quite the opposite. I am very energized, at least mentally. The thoughts are flowing the ideas are there, and eventually time, money, and energy will permit me to get to them.

In the meantime, I am trying to take solace in my system. I have an effective calendar system. My phone and laptop are synced, as is my iPad, through Apple’s awesome MobileMe Service. I know that I can capture a time sensitive appointment, and not forget it. My trusty notebooks are always near by to capture an idea that I just can’t get to right now. I use the camera on my phone to be the photographic memory that my brain is too busy to be.

I know I will get through, I will rise above and be successful, because I am aware of these limitations, and I have effective systems in place to make sure I don’t miss something while I’m sleeping, or working on the next great product. And for that I am lucky, because when the energy returns for the next wind, I’ll be ready.

Is your system strong enough to support you?
