One step I took to cutting out things was to analyze each thing on my list. I thought about what each thing meant to me and the purpose it had in my life.
I had been hanging on to my representative status with the paper crafting company because I thought I needed it to support my wedding invitation business. I realized that hanging on to this was only hurting me. Not only did it narrow my options for what I could offer my customers but I wasn't enjoying it like I used to. I was finding myself going outside of this company more and more to find what my customers wanted. I also realized that I could no longer continue to support my sales minimums myself especially since I was not actively crafting except when I had an invitation job. This realization was hard to come to but it was a moment of growth for me.
So I decided that representing the paper crafting company was no longer a goal or desire of mine.
At this point I did not do a lot of deep analyzing of the other things on my list. They were things I enjoyed or wanted to do more with so they stayed.
I encourage you to go through each item and dig deep. I will explain why I think this is so important in an upcoming post.
