Time is a currency that everyone transacts in. How we use it is the key.
It’s very pertinent when it comes to business. How efficient are you? Are you out of balance? Do your kids wonder who and where you are? When was the last time you had a date with yourself?
Here are some tips to address time spent:
- Have you "fallen" for the wrong customer? You spend hours, you create spreadsheets, you have a slick presentation and you don’t get any business. You’ve passed the point of giving your boss good reasons for the delay. Truth is you’re not confronting reality. I’d suggest you ask the prospect if they’re ever gonna marry you:) Remember, in-order for it to be a business relationship there must be business.
- Calculate how much you make hourly and then ask yourself what kind of ROI you’re getting for that time. You might be shocked by the answer.
- If you’re lonely, bored, angry or into gossip go get a life outside of your work. Transacting in those mind-sets (anywhere) leads to poverty.
- Find a mentor who has discovered their life and closed the door on a career. You were born and you will die…life matters and is the issue to be addressed.
- Pursue a great love because destiny is kind to those who do.
