have more to do than you can possibly do.
You
just need to feel good about your choices."

"The
great dividing line between success and
failure
can be stated in five words:
I
did not have time."

I could list dozens of quotes from brilliant people who have been observers of the successful people in history. These three will get us started.
As a business owner, leader, manager we all want to build a team that is engaged, accountable for results and is not dependent on us for every decision and every move they make.
As a business owner you want More
Time, More Money and a Better Team.
We all want to be successful. I heard
a guy the other day say success to him was:
"Doing what I want to do,
when I want to do it, with the people I want to do it with and in a manner of
my choice." Pretty good huh?
Well, what I have observed is
that you can't get what you want in a business by being reactive all day long,
answering everyone's questions, putting out fires, filling in the gaps, or
being the quarterback of the team while the game is being played.
In other words, the very things
you don't like to be doing are the things getting in the way of what you
want.
You have to develop different
habits. You can't let "busy" get in the way of the
right Actions.
Keep doing what you are doing,
walking by what is happening and get ready to settle for what you have!
Or, stop, schedule your week with
blocks of key ACTIONS you want to make into habits, and get a rhythm in your
business or group that will, over a few months, get you where you want to go
and the team engaged and accountable for results so they like where they work.
I put together an 8 minute video
that sets up an Ideal Week (that is recurring) for a leader/coach to follow. It
gets the rhythm going in your business and will, over time, with consistency
and compounding change your business, your team, you, and your life.
Here it is, and remember,
"knowing is not enough - we must do"!
The
Ideal Week
