Goal Setting & Achievement Podcast: Business|productivity

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 laser focused.  Let’s talk about three 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. 1. Always Prioritize2. Get OrganizedAnswer this question, How much time do you think you waste each day?   Remember it all adds up.  Five minutes here, 10 minutes there, and 30 minutes on something fun yet not productive.  Did you know that some of the most pro

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 your high payoff tasks. The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) Explained Developed in the early 19th century by Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist, the Pareto Principle was used to explain why only 20% of the population was responsible for 80% of the country’s wealth.  It was later in the mid-1900s that the theory of the Pareto Principle was modified by Dr. Joseph Duran.  When applied to cause and effect, he theorized that 20% of actions (cause) would produce 80% of the end results (effect).  Because Duran’s theory expanded on Pareto’s original version of the 80/20 rule,

For those of us who have been in business for a while, it can be natural to hit a slump every now and then. It could be because we haven’t seen results in a while, or we’ve lost interest in what we’re doing, or we’re discouraged overall with the trajectory of our business. When that does happen, how do you stay motivated and keep working towards the achievement of your goals?Motivation is what fuels our actions and helps us to solve problems in our business and cope with the challenges that we face every day. Without that motivation or drive, it can be easy to feel stagnant, but it doesn’t need to stay that way.Let me now share 7 tips to help you get out of that rut and on your way to crushing your goals!1. Set Weekly Goals2. Revisit Your “Why” Regularly3. Identify What Makes You Feel Most Inspired and Set Aside Time for That Each Week4. Work with an Accountability Partner, Coach, or Group5.

Time is of the essence. Time is the only resource that cannot be controlled or generated. Because of this reason, many goal-driven people strive to learn how to maximize their valuable time and improve productivity with the finite amount of time available to all of us.By consistently working on improving at time management, there has been a significant increase in workaholism. Many CEOs and entrepreneurs have blurred the lines between business and their personal lives. Some have simply erased the line that should create the much-needed balance in their lives. It may seem counter-intuitive for you to carve time out of this limited resource for something as inconsequential as a hobby, but the powers and value of hobbies are not to be overlooked and underestimated.Many highly successful entrepreneurs carve out time from their busy routines for their hobbies. Others learn new habits and add them to their growing list. What these two types of people can agree on is that having a hobby outside of work is beneficial

We're all guilty of putting off a task because "I don't feel like doing it" or "I'll do it later." If you wait until the last moment to get started on your task, you may be wondering why you procrastinated.  Tim Urban, founder of the famous blog, Wait But Why, is no exception. Urban shared a story of his 90-page senior thesis in college and how he spent months thinking, 'I'll get it started on it tomorrow.' Unfortunately, tomorrow never came, and months passed by without writing a single word. Then suddenly, Urban had only three days until the deadline. Thus, he pulled two all-nighters and finished a project that required months within 72 hours. And the thesis was terrible.When you understand the underlying causes of procrastination, you can identify the right strategies to overcome them. As a result, you reach your full potential and start chasing your dreams.What Goes Inside the Minds of Master Procrastinators?Tim Urban, in his TED talk, built a framework re

Growth is a human need, and we all have desires and goals in life. Maybe you want to start your own business, change your career, change your business model, or you want to strengthen your relationships.  But something inside you is constantly nagging you, telling you can’t do it, you shouldn’t do it, and you mustn’t do it. Here’s the plain truth: that tugging feeling stopping you is an excuse – it’s a falsely conditioned perception of reality based on old memories. The fact is that the only thing stopping you from achieving new heights and personal greatness is your limiting belief system. To become the most powerful version of yourself, you need to identify and overcome your limiting beliefs.  Belief is a state of mind – when you’re confident that something truly exists. It is something that an individual trusts to be facts, thus making it troublesome for you to identify them. These beliefs, unfortunately, limit you from recognizing your true potential and achieving even greater success in all areas of busi

10 Ideas to Help You Stick to Goals and Accelerate Your Results We tend to begin a new mission with the best of intentions and expectations; however, it's easy to fall off the wagon way too quickly. Let’s explore ten ways to help you stick to your goals, so you can increase, and possibly accelerate, your business success and be on the path to having and enjoying your ideal business and ideal life.1.

“What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.” I think this is a great quote by Vern McLellan. We all have 365 days in a year.
