When working for yourself (especially at home), distractions can be the death of your dreams

When you first become an entrepreneur, one of the biggest challenges is learning to deal with freedom. When you have a boss "hovering" over you, it's easy to avoid many of the temptations and distractions that arise during the day. However, even the tiniest of distractions can pull you away from the work you know you should be doing when you are your boss. When working from home, this problem is exasperated. There are always chores that need doing, TV shows to get caught up on, and home projects to finish. Since much of success depends upon making yourself do things you don't feel like doing, these distractions can quickly become barriers to your success. In this episode, we learn some ways to keep these distractions at a minimum. If left unchecked, distractions can quickly become excuses, and excuses can put an end to our dreams faster than nearly anything else.
