Getting More Done
We are getting into a place in our business where we need to be getting more done in less time. We put in way to many hours to make a minimal amount of money. Oh, we make over $3000 a month, but our rent and business utilities are also over $3000 a month.
Effective use of our time is evasive. I have studied my time. I have read about time management and listened to time management tapes. I am still not very effective in my use of time.
A lot of the problem is I still do not have clearly defined goals. I do not have the right plan in place. Every time I make a new plan, I get off track. I hope this does not sound familiar in your life too.
So often we make plans and then sit on the sidelines to watch the plans become reality. The longer we watch, the less happens. It is so frustrating to watch a carefully devised idea and not see it work. OH, WAIT! We are not supposed to watch, we are supposed to participate.
A plan is only as good as the action that is taken once the plan is in place. This is one of my shortcomings. I do not seem to follow through effectively.
So, tell me why it is that so many people do not follow through on their plans and dreams? What is it that holds us back and lets us settle for far less than we could have? Find an answer to that and your life will change.
