The Biz Diva facilitates a monthly phone call for women in business. This is a place where businesswomen have open conversation about their success and the challenges they are facing. The last call was all about practical steps, ideas and actions that will propel your business forward. The last part of the call was a dialogue where attendees shared their favorite ways of getting unstuck. This is my favorite:
Get up and go for a 30-minute walk.
I can’t tell you how often this has worked for me, and how often I forget it.
I’m trying to write my company brochure now and I keep getting distracted. So I’m going for a half-hour walk.
Do you have any special tricks for keeping yourself on track and motivated? Please share them in the comments!

The Biz Diva considers this one of the most powerful business practices around–and it’s free. Do it daily and you are guaranteed to have a more positive outlook on life. And you will be adding to the sum total of civilized discourse in the world!
It’s a thank you note! Actually, one successful entrepreneur we know, Jim Horan of The One Page Business Plan, says, “I write at least three. Every day. It puts me in a very positive state of mind.”
Ideally, you’d use some lovely customized stationery with your logo on it, but that can get a little expensive for a small business. So we did a little research and found the very nice Avery Note Cards at your local office supply store. You can print two-sided on them, and you can even print your return address on the envelope! And I only had to lay out about $25 instead of the more than $300 the local printer, Kinko’s, and Vista Print wanted.
