In order to blow the lid off your business, run circles around your competitors and have an abundance of time to do all the fun things you want to do as a result of your wealth and success, there are three ways you need to stay laser focused and maximally productive.

  1. Focus on your strength and what you enjoy most. The first step in distinguishing a 20 percent item is to decide what it is you are good at doing and what you enjoy and outsource the rest. If building a web page is not your area of strength then don't waste your valuable time trying to build one. Instead, hire someone to do this work for you at a small fee. It is worth the money spent because it will save your time in headaches and frustration, plus the time you spend on things you're not good at robs you of the time that could be spend on your strength areas. The frustration of doing activities you don't enjoy lower your energy and affects your effectiveness in other areas of your business.
  2. Focus on "dollar-productive" activities. Look at areas in your business that will directly bring you money after you determined your area of strength. It is simple to get stuck in the minutia of editing your videos, tweaking your ebooks or making your graphics look just right. Remember this and put it in your mind, the killer of any business is perfectionism. Just get your product out there and start thinking like the big software companies. One example of this is Microsoft, you don't see them waiting until their latest version of windows is perfect and running with zero glitches then release it. Microsoft make improvement via software update when the got to the public by their stated release date. Focus on making money on your product that have completed enough to release, then make improvement as you go. The benefit of this method is that you will receive undoubtedly great feedback that will be invaluable in guiding you in the creation of future products and service by your customers.
  3. Complete your "Big Rock". The above two important steps is to identify your top 20 percent of work, now in this step shows you how to stay focus on accomplishing that 20 percent each day. This is by far the most effective way to make great progress and see huge results quickly at first glance. First thing is the morning, especially if you don't feel like doing them, is to ensure that you complete your daily "Big Rock" items first. People fail in this business for one of the biggest reason and the reason is they simply don't take action. Emotion follow action, not the other way around. Your feeling of avoidance or procrastination are action itself which will override and build positive momentum.The Unfortunate flip side is that if you allow your feeling to dictate whether you take action or not, you will reinforce those feelings, making it more difficult to take action the next time.There is no better way to make rapid and dramatic progress in your business and you will enjoy your work more as you begin seeing result of your actions. Building these habits will help eliminate the draining feeling of being scattered, overwhelmed and not knowing what action to take next.
