Small business owners often find themselves stuck doing all the things – everything from marketing to operations and finances. I remember a time during my retail days, I even cleaned the toilet, but not the best use of my time. Want to learn a better way to ensure you are the true visionary of your business?
ACTION PLAN:
1. Follow Donna’s 5-step plan to regain time in your agenda so you can focus on driving your business forward:
- Do a time-tracking exercise for a minimum of 3 days.
- Review your activities from the time tracking and place a dollar sign ($) next to those activities which are Revenue Generating.
- Review your activities again, this time place a star (*) beside those activities which take too much of your time or are a drain on your energy (some will be both $ and *).
- Apply the SAP Method
- Streamline or automate those with $$$.
- Assign or appoint (delegate) those with a * and be sure that you have a defined ‘process’ for them to follow as this will help them be more successful.
- Pause and decide which activities could be totally removed. Apply the 80/20 rule!
- Organize your week like a CEO to focus more on visionary activities.
