How much more could you get done if you were working at 100% productivity, every second you’re building your company?

The truth is, almost nobody actually works as effectively as they could be. This is just as true for the big corporate CEO as it is for a first-time small business owner.

In every company, there is waste. This is after all, human nature. Nobody is completely efficient all of the time, and you certainly don’t have to be in order to succeed.

However, we all want to get everything that we possibly can out of each day. Out of our budgets. Out of our employees, if we have any. This means that we need to constantly take note of what’s actually delivering results, and what we’re spending too much time and money worrying about.

By simply changing a few key actions each day and honing in on what truly matters, you can waste less resources on things that do not move the needle, and make sure that your time and money is put to its best use.

There is only one thing more frustrating than pouring your heart and soul into a business, only to see it fail.

Doing it several times.

Launching one venture after another, truly giving it your all, only to ultimately realize that its going nowhere.

Each time this happens, you begin to feel worse and worse about this whole entrepreneurship thing. It seems so far out of reach, and you have no idea what could possibly be going wrong so many times. Why it appears so easy to everyone else, but regardless of how hard you work, you just can’t seem to pull it off.

Maybe, you even start believing that you’ve been lied to, and this is all a huge scam.

Don’t worry.

I know how this feels, because it’s something I went through myself. It took me years before I began attaining any success at all, and I have had a large number of failures between them.

The fact of the matter is, even if you do everything right, and you have a solid strategy in place, things still may not work out.

Other times, the shortcomings may be caused by your mindset – a lack of motivation, poor time management skills, or unconsciously setting mental hurdles that make your entrepreneurial journey more difficult.

If any of this sounds like it applies to you, read on – this may be one of the most important articles you’ve come across. We’re going to analyze the root causes of business failures in more detail, and develop a plan that will ensure with absolute certainty that you will achieve success with future ventures.

Let’s begin, with the first step.

Note: As of May 2019, Circleboom is no longer offering any follow / unfollow tools, and this article is no longer relevant. However, I have left it up for legacy purposes. My recommended replacement tool for Twitter management is Tweepi.

It’s been a difficult few years for Twitter tools.

With Twitter getting stricter with what functionalities these tools are able to utilize, we’ve seen many of the greats get practically shut down overnight.

Manageflitter. Crowdfire. Statusbrew. All a shell of what they once were.

After all, it looked like Twitter has been looking to get rid of follow / unfollow tools for good. In an effort to combat spammers, even the tools that survived have been subject to strict limits.

One of these tools that still exist today is called Circleboom. I’ve had the opportunity to use it for a couple of months now, migrating after my previous tool (Manageflitter) was rendered practically useless.

Is Circleboom a good Manageflitter alternative, and should you sign up? In this article, we’re going to cover these questions and more.

When you’re just starting out as a blogger, it can be tempting to start your blog on a free web host, such as WordPress.com, Blogger, or Blogspot.
