Organizational Multi-Tasking

Do you have enough leaders who “get it” to be working on multiple projects that will change your /your customers world at once?

And how many of these projects are going on right now?

Your business model – It works or it doesn’t

Yes you can influence the outcome greatly with desire, diligence, smart moves, learning, adjusting, and working tirelessly with persistence.  But if an idea is flawed and it’s not going to work in the markeplace, often no amount of character will make it work.

Often, it works or it doesn’t.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall…

Mirror mirror on the wall, will I be successful?

The mirror needs to know one thing – it’s not what you are trying to accomplish – it’s how bad you want it.

How bad do you want it?

Do the right things right

Lots of people do things right, but achieving something out of the ordinary is a matter of doing the right things right to get that result.  What are the “right things” for you?

Easy to spend, hard to make

Your business makes money when it spends less than it takes in.

Make money.

Making History

The people that made history didn’t fully realize what they were doing when they toiled and muddled through their project, making it all work.  They were doing what made sense – what was right at the time.

If you work on key projects to fix important problems for lots of people – you can wind up making history, too.

There’s never just one cockroach

So you stumbled upon a botched transaction in your business; a quality lapse, unsavory employee behavior, a blown lead, missed sale or wasted materials.

You can be reactive and step on the one cockroach, or you can be proactive, spend more time on a “project”, and create a system and culture that isn’t hospitable to cockroaches. 

The latter takes more time, but in the long run, you’ll have cleaner shoes.

Your most valuable asset

Its your time. And there are a million ways and plenty of people to help you misuse it. 

You must “spend” it on moving towards what you have decided is most important to you. 

Are you?

Mindshare

How much are your prospects and customers thinking about you?  Why are they thinking about you?  What are you giving them to think about?  For all the millions of things one could occupy their mind with each day, how are you getting enough of their mindshare for them to do or continue to do business with you and feel good about it?

Speed of Business

Your competitors are getting better.  You can’t change that.

Are you getting better, faster?
