Webster’s Riverside Dictionary defines an entrepreneur as
“one who launches or manages a business venture, often assuming risks.” Sure,
it’s easy to see how that applies to a business owner—but how does it apply to

Do you control “nibblers” or do “nibblers” nab you?
Nibblers are distractions that sabotage your plans, gnaw at
your ability to concentrate, and steal hours every day. There are “internal”
nibblers, personal dispositions or behavior tendencies such as perfectionism
and procrastination, which prevent you from completing your plans. There are
also “external” nibblers, interruptions like meetings, calls, e-mails or
drop-by visits that can easily derail your day.
