Do Less
As we’re moving into the new year, we take plenty of time for planning, meetings with our team, brainstorming, etc. All great stuff. I really enjoy this time of year.
A common theme is always what more can we do? Â More, more, more. Â There are good reasons for that thinking because many numbers in a business are meant to increase–number of transactions, revenue, profit, employees, how much we can get done in a work day, etc.
But how much thought do we give to the idea of personally doing less? Â Removing some of the many, many non-essential activities to focus on the important things. Â Reducing the number of moving parts required to accomplish your top-level actions. Â You follow me? Â Is your top-level action to make offers on properties? Â Is it to manage construction jobs? Â Is it to focus on marketing campaigns? Â Whatever you consider your top-level actions to be, how much time do you spend on those in a given day vs. just minute “stuff” that you feel needs to be done?
How much time do you spend daily on a process in your business that was designed 10 years ago and hasn’t been updated since? Â Can you automate more? Â Delegate more? Â Whatever the case may be, spend some time thinking about this. Â Audit your day. Â How many non-essential activities can be eliminated so that the important actions can be done? Â It’s challenging but incredibly worthwhile.
Simplify. Â Execute. Â Improve. Â Grow.
