[UPDATED] I’m Busy Therefore I Am – Do You Suffer From A Productivity Problem?

I want to help you become more productive.

To do that you need to master two things: 

Planning and Commitment

Are you a serial entrepreneur?

These productivity secrets for serial entrepreneurs will help you figure out and tackle your workload with more precision.  

First let’s talk about what a serial entrepreneur is…

The Anatomy of A Serial Entrepreneur:

• You are a relentless leader in your business
• No one can do what you do as good as you do it
• You have dreams of achieving goals much higher than you’ve ever reached before
• You love helping people almost as much as you love making money
• You know inside your heart that you were destined for greatness
• You have a small team that you value and depend on
• You are passionate
• You have no fear when taking big risks where most people stop to think
• Your work ethic is ALL-IN

Yet millions of entrepreneurs are not as productive as they would like to be.

Why?

It’s obvious from the above description that entrepreneurs are passionate people. But passion does not produce commitment. It’s the other way around.

Commitment produces passion.

“Commitment is the wood, passion is the fire and you cannot have the fire until you stack the wood.” – Alex Mandossian

I believe most entrepreneurs know how to tackle big problems in their business. But most don’t know how to organize and plan their workload.

Productivity means achieving “the maximum results in minimum time.”

I think it’s fair to say most entrepreneurs live in some form of “overwhelm” most of the time in their business.

You put in a 9, 10 or 11 hour work day. You’re dead tired. You lay in bed taking stock of what you accomplished that day and think “why didn’t I get more done? I was so fricken busy!” Does that sound familiar?

In order to achieve maximum results we as entrepreneurs must be FULLY committed. Commitment is the willingness to be consistent and eliminate distractions.

But you need the right tools to stay focused and eliminate distractions.

These secrets are the tools you need to increase productivity and get a handle on your overwhelm.

The Biggest Productivity Myth

Most Serial Entrepreneurs would say “I’m busy, therefore I am productive.” Being busy is not the same as being productive.

Remember our definition of productivity:

getting the maximum results in minimum time.

That’s it. There is no bigger secret behind the reality of what it takes to be more productive.

If you can get more done in less time, you are being productive.

Imagine what your day would be like if you wake up with the systems and the plans for your day already in place?

Wouldn’t you feel better knowing right from the moment that you open your eyes that you already have your day planned out?

ABSOLUTELY.

Another way to plan out your day is to have the proper email strategy.

If you believe business meetings are a waste of time…

You’re not alone.

In the US alone we “enjoy” 11 million formal business meetings each day and we waste $37 Billion in unnecessary meetings every year.

I’ve seen an estimate that 25-50% of meeting time is wasted

Your time is more valuable than that, isn’t it?

What do you do?

Not have meetings? Not connect with your team?

Let’s be realistic…

You need to get control of your meetings once and for all.

Three Secrets for Making Productivity Fun and More Accessible

1) The 15 Minute Rule

At the end of each work day take 15 minutes to pencil down what you are going to do the next workday.

This way you know going in what to focus on and where to start. You eliminate this sense of foggy brain syndrome walking into your office and feeling like you don’t know where to begin.

2) Create A Scheduled Calendar of Events

Keep a calendar with organized time-slots for each aspect of your business:

work time

research time

sales time

prospecting time

individual tasks

client or patient time  

team projects

Organizing your workload into categories is another way to stay focused and clear on exactly what you need to do each moment of your day.

3) Work In Blocks of Time

To keep yourself on the task at hand work in blocks of time. 25, 50 and 90 minute segments are most effective and will eliminate distractions throughout your day.

All of these tools will help you know what to focus on and will eliminate distractions. They will also help you prioritize what to do next instead of being inundated by other people’s urgent issues.

The best way for you to eliminate distractions is to stop leaning in every time some else has an urgent problem.

Their urgent problems are no your urgent problems.

Their catastrophes are not your concern, unless you make them your concern.

Eliminate the distractions and stick to your pre-planned schedule.
