Only one? (LOL)  

Hold on ... I just snorted coffee through my nose 

I would not share here publicly what mine is.  We have discussed it privately ... which is where it shall remain. Not for public consumption.

Trying to do everything myself!

I have already leaned forward for 2018 and hired a virtual assistant team to help with some online clean-up and brand awareness.

The biggest thing I am in the process of doing is turning over day-to-day SEO/backlinking/online marketing to my husband and one of my daughters will be helping with some aspects of social media.

I will be free to concentrate completely on selling homes (and periodic blogging).

Some medical issues have slowed me down this past year along with the lowest levels of inventory ... so I am hoping things will turn around and I'll be ready when it does.  In the meantime I probably need to hire an assistant as the details of my business keeps me struggling with Time Management.

Oh, let me count the ways! Like you, analysis paralysis keeps me focused on the numbers FAR too much sometimes - I think it's a Virgo thing!

Relinquishing duties when it's right in front of me - I always want to 'just do it' and have finally told assistants to just smack my hand! I need to keep my hands out of the cookie jar and I'm okay with an occasional smack!

Corinne,

I am very fortunate, we balance each other out on this one, strengths and weaknesses.  Mindfulness is something we both can be better at.  And that means taking time to focus on each item without being distracted.  A

I understand paralysis analysis only too well, being a bit of numbers geek. For me it's always a tendency to want perfection which can result in procrastination. I need to always keep reminding myself that what counts is excellence not perfection. But that's been a life-long battle for me.

Nothing business wise.  Sure took me 6 months to find a new couch I liked for my house and over two years for a SUV though.  On the bright side, when I saw the one I wanted, I pulled the trigger immediately.

Having moved from Illinois to Tennessee and starting my mortgage broker business over again, my fault is that I have too many plans and visions of where I want to take my business and it's not going as fast as I wanted. I do analysis constantly but that is something I love to do. I will get to where I want, (I always do), but it always seems to take longer

You can tell that you are very analytical with things. 

I think that I am bombarded with too much stuff at once every day. It makes it hard to keep track of the good things vs. the garbage that needs to be discarded. I'm not sure how to get around it but I have been starting.

Example:  Short videos for ads. Have a bunch of companies all of a sudden so I watch them & then get all distracted on what I am actually trying to get done for the day. There are like 4 I actually have to review.
