Priorities
When you spend 6-7 hours a day on the phone working the business of being in business, how do you prioritize the 5-6 hours that remain in your typical 12 hour work day delivering the business to the business?
Here are some suggestions:
(1) do those one or two things that definitely kick the cans further down the road and get you closer to the revenue success that everyone desires
(2) focus on those individuals that with just a little bit of your time can be positively impacted in significant ways with that little bit of time
(3) complete those one or two tasks that you promised others you’d get done during the day, and only as a last resort, beg for forgiveness and ensure you get it done the following day
(4) praise those individuals that achieved greatly for the company while you were focused internally and ensure you thank them specifically for the great work they did
(5) engage with that one partner and that one special customer that you know have meaningful new work that can be won with just a little bit of your time
(6) take 15 minutes of any remaining time to get outside the box and to envision accelerated growth and great success
(7) close out the day with a smile on your face and get ready to do it all over again tomorrow
