Wheel of Life Podcast: Business|Productivity|Accountability

If you’re sitting at your desk with a “To Do List” a mile long, but you can’t find the motivation to tackle it, keep listening. How is it that some days it feels as if you have enough motivation to conquer the world, yet other days, the smallest task seems to drain the life out of you? The answer is simple: motivation is fueled by your level of desire and commitment, and when your desire and commitment falls, so does your motivation. Have you ever been so engrossed by something you loved every second of it and lost track of all time? Your desire and commitment was so high, that time became non-existent, when in reality, several hours had passed. So how do you deal with lack of motivation for tasks that you dislike, yet must be done? The good news is that your lack of motivation can be resolved with only a shift in thinking. Stay focused on the results! How does your choice to procrastinate help or hurt your ability to achieve your goals? Asking this question will help bring clarity and reconnect you with your desire for achieving your goals, motivating you out of your slump. Aim for what you want each and every day!

When you think of goal setting, we can start with a school of thought that says every goal a person sets should be a S.M.A.R.T. goal. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Tangible or Timely. Your goals must have a specific target date for achievement, including a month, day, and year. It is surprising to me how many people don’t set a target date for goals. Some might say a year but most don’t set a month, day and a year for their desired goal achievement. • I take issue with the words realistic and attainable. I believe goals should be “stretch goals,” goals that are achievable, and also require that the person stretch their limits. This extra push provides inspiration and motivation. Even if you fall short of achieving a stretch goal, you’ve still most likely exceeded your “realistic” goal. • The word attainable bothers me for similar reasons. Obviously, you want your goal to be within reach, but that same “stretch” should be added for additional motivation and inspiration. • The emotional element to goal achievement is very important. Think about how you would think and feel once you have achieved the goal. This adds the emotional element that helps inspire you even more. In theory, working toward your goals is not complicated. Most days, most of the things you do, should move you toward your goals.

Today we are going to talk about 4 Ways to Increase the Productivity of your Business. Every business owner is on the lookout for effective ways to increase productivity for their team. The reality is that business owners and employees are ineffective and unproductive probably more often than they think. The key is to reduce lost hours and wasted manpower. Here are some ways you can take an active approach to increasing the efficiency and productivity of your business. Productivity Tip #1: Lead by example. If you are a business owner, you must absolutely be held to the highest standard. If you work directly with an assistant or team of employees, you should always lead by example. If you2019re a habitual procrastinator or have trouble focusing on productivity, you would serve yourself and your business well by hiring an accountability coach. An accountability coach will show you several effective ways to increase productivity in your business - and hold you accountable for your actions, as well as your results. When you are asked to explain to your accountability coach why you didn2019t achieve the task at hand because you chose to watch T.V, it won2019t feel comfortable to be put on the hot seat by your coach. Productivity Tip #2: Work each day with a To-Do List. Creating a to-do list is one of the most efficient ways to increase the productivity of your business. Crafting a detailed to-do list for you and your team will help them comprehend exactly what is expected of them each day. This will motivate them to complete the tasks they2019ve been given with the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. If your assistant or team is known for procrastinating, this is an especially effective tool for encouraging them to stay focused. When you don2019t leave wiggle room for lollygagging, you2019ll have one heck of a productive team. Customize each To-Do List to each team member, so that each team member can be held directly accountable for their actions. Productivity Tip #3: Delegate appropriately. If you cannot delegate, you cannot increase productivity. Period. The key to increasing productivity is realizing where your time is best spent. Where your assistant2019s or team2019s time is spent matters as well. When you can delegate the right tasks to the right person, your business will operate without a hitch. However, hang on to tasks you should have let go of long ago, and you stagnate your success. When you need a task complete, look to the personality and experience of your team in order to decide which employee would be best suited for the task. Productivity Tip #4: Build a bigger team! It2019s a simple concept, really. The more team members you have producing, the more work you2019ll generate, and hopefully, the more money you2019ll bring in for your business. Hiring additional team members is one of the most effective ways to increase productivity for your business. For lower priority or common tasks you should be able to find someone at a reasonable rate. However, for senior or high-priority positions, you2019ll obviously need to hire experienced professionals. As a basic productivity rule, you should NEVER be answering your phone, doing bookkeeping or sending invoices. You should be spending your time devoted to driving income, while your team members tend to the basic tasks. As you can see, there are several ways to increase the productivity of your business. These tips are simple, yet effective ways of instilling the principles of productivity in your team. Action Step: What will your next steps be so you can increase productivity and achieve your goals? Create your game plan to help put you in the highest probability position for goal achievement. Take these four tips and turn them into four separate weekly goals to be achieved within the next month. Write down specific actions you can take to achieve each weekly goal and put them in your calendar so they cannot be ignored.

When you are asked to explain to your accountability coach why you didn2019t achieve the task at hand because you chose to watch T.V, it won2019t feel comfortable to be put on the hot seat by your coach. Productivity Tip #2: Work each day with a To-Do List. Creating a to-do list is one of the most efficient ways to increase the productivity of your business. Crafting a detailed to-do list for you and your team will help them comprehend exactly what is expected of them each day. This will motivate them to complete the tasks they2019ve been given with the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. If your assistant or team is known for procrastinating, this is an especially effective tool for encouraging them to stay focused. When you don2019t leave wiggle room for lollygagging, you2019ll have one heck of a productive team. Customize each To-Do List to each team member, so that each team member can be held directly accountable for their actions. Productivity Tip #3: Delegate appropriately. If you cannot delegate, you cannot increase productivity. Period. The key to increasing productivity is realizing where your time is best spent. Where your assistant2019s or team2019s time is spent matters as well. When you can delegate the right tasks to the right person, your business will operate without a hitch. However, hang on to tasks you should have let go of long ago, and you stagnate your success. When you need a task complete, look to the personality and experience of your team in order to decide which employee would be best suited for the task. Productivity Tip #4: Build a bigger team! It2019s a simple concept, really. The more team members you have producing, the more work you2019ll generate, and hopefully, the more money you2019ll bring in for your business. Hiring additional team members is one of the most effective ways to increase productivity for your business. For lower priority or common tasks you should be able to find someone at a reasonable rate. However, for senior or high-priority positions, you2019ll obviously need to hire experienced professionals. As a basic productivity rule, you should NEVER be answering your phone, doing bookkeeping or sending invoices. You should be spending your time devoted to driving income, while your team members tend to the basic tasks. As you can see, there are several ways to increase the productivity of your business. These tips are simple, yet effective ways of instilling the principles of productivity in your team. Action Step: What will your next steps be so you can increase productivity and achieve your goals?
