If you don’t know where you ultimately want to be in life, how can you create a game plan to get you there? Create a Long-Term Goal List – personal and professional – with specific goal dates for each is a good place to start. Once you have your long-term goal list, create a Yearly Goal List. This Yearly goal list is a subset of your long-term goals. Whatever they are, remember to include specific dates down to the month, day and year. Now create a quarterly Goal List. Again these are a subset of your yearly goals and have specific dates for achieving them. Put them in priority order. Create a Weekly Activity List. These are all the activities you need to do to be on track to achieving your goals in the timeframe you desire. Review the list daily and make adjustments as necessary. These are the things that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your long-range personal and business goals. So what are you waiting for, create your list or brush off the one you started the first of the year and update it. Get busy so you can enjoy the kind of life you truly want and deserve.

Today we are going to talk about Stop Wasting Time and Stay Laser Focused. Most entrepreneurs have a difficult time understanding exactly how to stop wasting time. When you’re self employed, it’s easy to take a “short break” to surf the internet, check email, return a call, talk to a peer who stops by your office, or read blogs, but those “short breaks” can easily turn into hours of wasted time each day. This includes unnecessary chats with colleagues, long lunches, or non-focused or misguided meetings that do not accomplish goals and resolve issues. The success of your business venture depends on your ability to buckle down and learn how to stay focused. We are going to talk about 3 essential steps to help you stop wasting time, stay focused and have productive work days so you can be on the path of achieving your goals. Enjoy the podcast.

Today we are going to talk about Top 5 Success Principles. If you think creating a successful business may just be the most challenging goal you’ve ever taken on, you are probably correct. Building a successful business is not a walk in the park, but it is certainly a realizable and achievable goal. It doesn’t always require a lot of money (although that would clearly be an asset) and frankly, it doesn’t even require that you have more talent than the “average Joe.” However, building a successful business does require a strategic business owner who follows the principles of success to build a castle where there was once only sand. Let’s talk about the Top 5 Success Principles that will teach you how to create a successful business in realistic and achievable steps. You can build a successful business by following these five success principles. Many business owners tend to make a situation more complicated than it needs to be; they think achieving success is only attainable for the rich and famous or for those who have been dealt a lucky hand. However, it’s been proven many times over that an “average Joe” can transform into a wealthy business owner if they are dedicated to success and learn how to think strategically for the sake of their business. The most important factor when achieving success is having a game plan. Without it you are merely going to be “winging it,” and that will make the journey more complicated that it needs to be.

The ‘stuff’ in your head is distracting you from achieving your goals! Do you have things continually going on in your head about all the things you have to do today, tomorrow, next week, etc.? Those are distractions! When you effectively use your calendar and master task list or your goals sheet (whichever you want to call it) on a consistent basis you don’t have to have all these things going on in your head thinking you have to remember them and being afraid you are going to forget to do something. Do some of these things you have in your head keep you up at night? When you take them out of your head and put them on your Master Task List or Prioritized Action List and then on your calendar, you can sleep better every night. You will be more in control and you will feel a sense of relief. Don’t believe me, try this for yourself and you will be like the many people I coach who have that sigh of relief when they get all these distractions out of their head and in the proper place. Stop distracting yourself with all your thoughts. Implement effective time management and use your master task list to your advantage and stop letting all that ‘stuff’ in your head distracts you from what you are capable of achieving.

Today we are going to talk about Use the 80/20 Rule to Grow Your Business. If your business is not growing, you need to get a handle on the way you’re running it. Many business owners tend to spend a great amount of time performing unnecessary tasks that contribute little to the growth of your business. The 80/20 rule, otherwise known as the Pareto Principle, teaches that only 20% of your actions should lead to 80% of your results. Get a handle on your business by putting the 80/20 rule into effect and identifying high payoff tasks. The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) Explained What the Pareto Principle Means for Your Business Identify the High Payoff Tasks The Other Side of the Pareto Principle If your business is struggling, you can use the 80/20 rule to identify high payoff tasks. If you are currently working ten hours or more each day, put the 80/20 rule into action to finally take back control of your life. By doing so, you’ll be able to move past the fruitless tasks that make up 80% of your business and take up most of your time.

Procrastination, also known as dilly-dallying, dragging your feet, and excuse making is something we have all experienced at one time or another. Why do people procrastinate? So how to stop procrastinating? Just FREAKIN’ DO IT! What is stopping you? What are you really afraid of? What’s the worst that can happen if you just do it? I’ve talked with so many people about just doing what they weren’t doing and they realized that they were really afraid of the unknown and that when they actually did what they were afraid of it wasn’t so bad after all and they actually received positive feedback and the next time they were procrastinating, they just sucked it up, but their big girl or big boy pants on and did it. One example that seems to come up often is asking for referrals. Asking people they know. We cop out for some reason and just don’t want to do it. When they came up with a script and committed to the action, they executed it, and had success in every case. Speaking of peace of mind, when you think back to all the times you put something off because you thought it was going to cause you great discomfort – was it really as bad as you thought it would be? It probably wasn’t, but you worried about it – put it off – worried about it some more – put it off longer… It doesn’t have to be that way. Just DO IT!
