Big shifts happened for me when I stopped checking email and messages first thing, and instead, invested the first hour of my day in exercise, meditation and finding MY agenda – rather than getting on someone else’s agenda. Next, I began working in focused, uninterrupted blocks of time on the highest value activities in my business. This resulted in a massive increase in productivity.

Nothing should stop you from preparing budgets and plans of action, but take it one day at a time. Live to the fullest each day, being present to all turns of your business and customers.
Select slowly and surround yourself with positive people; negativity is toxic. The process is continuous; the larger your elite group of positive people is around you, the longer the amount of time you will stay motivated.

Time and Size are of equal importance. Set the most reasonable time to achieve the result. Do not rush; do not procrastinate. Remember to set “Achievable Time Frames” and benchmarks. The result should be big enough to have value but also custom-sized to your abilities. Both time and size should be set in advance.

The question should always be this: Do you spend enough quality time to move your core goals forward each day? How would you succeed in not only scheduling, but actually spending the needed time to accomplish the items that are most important (and usually not urgent), especially when these are the items that will move you by leaps and bounds into a bright future?

It Is Time to Quit!

Quit blaming Time for your lack of Productivity. Everyone is given the same number of hours every day. The poor do not get fewer hours; the rich are not blessed with extra. Einstein did not invent more time for himself, and no one can save time for another day. And don’t beat yourself up, we all have committed the crime of wasting time.

Before I pack up for the day and close shop, I take a few minutes and jot down the Top 3 Items that I need to accomplish in order to really move my business forward. These items are not visions or ideas, but short-term, achievable, actionable steps that will move my goals to the next plateau. I might repeat an item multiple days sometimes, but I’m clear on what part should be completed each day. It is important to schedule time to complete these Top 3 items – hopefully in about 4 hours time.

Use Eye Contact to convey confidence, attention, and interest. What do the employees see? To begin with, your clothing must represent your position. I always preached a firm and yet friendly handshake (see previous blog); your grip must be firm but not tight; two shakes with a sincere smile while maintaining eye contact. Be aware of your posture; it should air of confidence and interest-involvement in the conversation.

Do you have Mission Statement?

An important aspect of the Mission Statement for you to consider is whether to emphasize your long-term goals, what you expect for the future, or short- term goals, meaning where your company is now heading. A long-term statement should be a broader view, which will outlast immediate changes. For the short-term you should expect to revise your statement periodically as your company grows and evolves. An outdated Mission Statement can have a negative impact on your business.
