@Steve – I had been wrestling with whether or not I should redesign my site and ultimately realized I wanted the site to have better navigation and a design that was easier on the eyes (less dark colors).

Yep, competition is definitely good. Though a little comfort every now and then isn’t so bad either. If only comfort wasn’t so dang comfortable! It’s easy to get caught up and relax for extended periods.

Hehe. I’m not so sure that I’m the right person to ask that question. My wife and I tend to have these lulls in which we just try to keep our sanity while taking care of our daughter and we completely neglect the business. Then something usually slaps me back in action like a slow week of sales.

I think the best way to stay focused is to set aside a specific time each week to dedicate to improving your business. It doesn’t have to be a long period of time, but it’s important to accomplish one thing no matter how small. This is how we operated when our business was getting off its feet.

Thanks Steven. I’m actually very prone to slacking off. Fortunately, there are many personal development blogs such as yours that keep me motivated

I don’t think getting by is in your vocabulary:) Just curious though, what prompted you to do a complete redesign on your online store?

I certainly get what you mean Steve. It happens to me during uni days. Because I know I don’t really need to study to do well in exam, i usually end up getting lower results than what I’m capable of. Comfortable makes a man lazy. I think this is where being competitive can truly bring out the best of us. Either having a competitor or constantly challenging ourselves by setting new goals.
