From : Bigg Success
You ve made it! You ve arrived! You ve reached that next level of success! You ve achieved your dream! ___ ___ But you re swamped. Now, you have a seemingly endless list of things-to-do. And it all just keeps coming. Minute after minute, day after day, week after week. It s sheer chaos. You find yourself busier than ever. You re more successful than ever. But are you happier than ever? It seems that you re a victim of your own success too much to do, too many clients, too many constituents. So what can you do about it? Congratulate yourself Take a deep breath and a little pause. Enjoy it for a bit! Get away from it all for a day We know you re too busy. But here s the thing you re too busy not to get away because, on your day away, you re going to contemplate. What s most important? What s least important? After you ve thought about those two things: Hire an assistant, outsource, partner, joint venture you get the idea Delegate in some way, shape or form those things that aren t most important. You might be asking, Can I afford to hire someone? But you re asking the wrong question. The question really is, Can I afford not to? Because the most important things the people who are most important for you to spend time with, the projects that only you can and should do will get pushed aside by the less important things if you don t take this step. Set the expectations for the people in your life You need to establish boundaries for all your people. You may set certain times when you re available to employees, vendors, and even customers. We think customers can t be trained, but even they can. ___ In one of my early businesses, my second biggest customer was constantly calling with demands for immediate service. Finally, I presented them with an option they could work within our time frame for the price we negotiated or I could offer them quicker turnaround for a higher price. They chose the better price! ___ Finding your model Now you re only working on the most important things and you ve communicated your boundaries to the most important people in your life. You re ready to do those things you do in the most efficient way possible. So let s look for a model. Think about a manufacturer s assembly line with products coming down it. What are your products? ___ For us, it is shows to produce. Articles to write. E-mails to return. People to reach out to. Products to create. Services to deliver. ___ Your production cycle may flow over an hour, a day, a week, or a month. Think about all of the important things you do that s your product and engineer your processes to move that product down the line in the most efficient manner possible. Engineer your processes What is the best way to do it? Think about it logically. Step back and look at it again. Walk yourself through the whole process, step-by-step as it exists today. Now, start looking for ways to save little bits of time. ___ One of the guest speakers for my class became a billionaire by turning his little business into a Fortune 500 company. One of his secrets was finding ways to get more done with the same people. For example, they discovered a way to change how they labeled packages for shipment. It saved them 55 seconds. That s time they could spend on something else! ___ So if you find yourself a victim of your own success, start with effectiveness make sure you re doing the right things. Then work on efficiency doing those things the right way. Doing the right things the right way before you know it, you ll be an even bigger success without being victimized by it! ___ Get the tips and tools you need to be a BIGG success!
