How to be Pro-Active
BuzzProfits Tip of the Week =================================
Are you pro-active or re-active?
This is one of the most important factors in business success, and to some extent, to life success as well.
I admit, I have been guilty of this..
For example, I wake up, I check my emails, and then my day is determined based on what is in those emails.
John wants to speak about a JV.
Phil wants to interview me.
Oh look, Chris has commented on my blog, I should reply to that.
Dave wants to chat via IM.
etc...
If you go through your day re-actively, then you are going to mainly be doing things that seem like work, but are often just things that fill time.
If you are pro-active, you will know exactly what needs to be done, and then do it... no distractions.
Sounds simple, but in today´s world, it has never been harder.
I recently outsourced all my email to an assistant... you can hire virtual assistants who will do this for you also.
At the end of the day I get an email summarising my emails, and any action I need to take.
So have a look at your business.. is it running you, or are you running it?
Have a great day,
Dean
