Watch Your Time and Pick Up the Trends

Being strategic and competent is all about getting the right things done. In order to become a competent strategic business owner and manager you will need to build the habit of effectiveness. No one is born effective so…if you never worked on developing effectiveness skills you are not as competent as you could be, or should be.

Therefore to build the habit of effectiveness you’ll need to practice (consistent practice leads to powerful habits) the 5 skill sets I laid out for you in my last post.

While each skill set is pretty easy to understand, they aren’t so easy to do well. In other words, you will have to build and develop them (they don’t appear like magic), as you’ve had to do with anything else that’s important in your life. You need to practice them over and over again until these 5 skill sets become an integral part of the way you go about doing your work.

Next time I’ll detail how learning and developing habits of effectiveness go hand in hand and the key distinctions you must understand to be successful. If you have applied some of the tasks I have outlined, you should have started to see how much time you’ve been spending on tasks and activities other than on your top priorities.

Just keep up the good work, make sure that you spend as little time (none would be best) multitasking as possible. Stay focused on one task at a time. It’ll be easier to record, and it’s the work process of highly competent business owners and managers.

Keep up the good work, stay focused and notice your patterns, make today a super-productive day.
