I have just returned from the annual ActionCOACH European Conference in London. This is always a great opportunity not only to regain the FOCUS on what is important to achieve my goals, but more importantly to learn from the best coaches from across Europe. One You Tube clip that Brad Sugars introduced set the tone for much of the week. STOP IT... How much of our time do we invest doing stuff that adds absolutely no value whatsoever, in fact it often takes us in a totally different direction to where we need to go.

 

So first up only watch the You Tube video below in your reflective or learning time.... ps Get your notebook or Journal ready for the advice.

 

 

 

Before you START doing new tasks, projects or activities to move your business forward, first take time to look at what you can STOP doing...it's time to stop doing the 80% of things that give you 20% of the results!

What can YOU stop doing?

 

-spending too much time on emails

-following up with unexpected interruptions

-procrastinating

-getting frustrated

-working 7 days a week

-spinning too many plates at any one time

-make excuses when you should be taking ownership

-answering the phone...let your assistant do it!

-watching the news, only bad news sells!

-putting up with your worst customers - Sack them

-associating with people who drag you down with their negative attitude

-being side-tracked by life when you work from home

-focusing too much on the competition

-reacting to putting out the fires in your business

-spending too much time on ONE thing (instead, set a timer, and move on to your next task!)

 

STOP doing the £10 and £20 per hour tasks, and transfer that time to sales and marketing or delivering your product or service. Commit yourself to stopping those activities that are NOT the best use of your time...STOP IT! Learn to say "NO" to things that are not a priority for you.

 

Getting really FOCUSED on what you need to do to achieve your goals and take Massive Action.


To your continued success.
