First 100 Days: What Can Be Done

As Barak Obama begins his new career, all eyes are watching to see how well he does in his first 100 days in office.

And already there are questions and concerns on what he can really accomplish in a little more than 3 months.

It got me wondering, can anyone accomplish a lot in their first 100 days?

As an entrepreneur who’s starting a business, it can seem like a daunting task at first. But if you follow some of the same steps President Obama has, you will surely make an impact!

• Set objectives and goals. It’s very clear what’s on Obama’s agenda and what he hopes to deal with first.
• Gather a team that will help you. No one can do it alone. Find the help you need, whether they are advisers, staff, or volunteers and interns to get the jobs done.
• Be realistic. You’re not going to get everything done that you want in 100 days. Setting priorities is just as important as the goals you want to achieve.
• Communicate. Share as much information as you can and keep the dialogue open with your team.
• Celebrate. When you achieve a goal, celebrate a little. At least a high-five is in order.

Can you make it work? Yes, you can.
