Last week we talked about how to identify what you want to work on. This week I want to focus on commitment and an exercise that really helps me get to exactly what I am going to do.
First I look at this:
- What is broken/needs to be fixed
- What needs to be perfected
I create no more than three of each in my business. So if last week we were looking at sales and marketing, what are the things that just don’t work in your business and then what works, but could be so much better.
The commitment comes that you will work them until they are done. You can’t add a new one until these are done. Then the key is to schedule time on your calendar (just like an appointment) to work on them.
So try that today – what are the three (maximum) things you need to fix and the three you need to perfect. Stay focused on those and you will get so much more done than you could imagine.
Next week – an exercise to put definition, focus, and commitment on the “what to work on”.
