If you are in Vistage you know that at most meetings there is an amazing speaker from whom you take away at least 3 good ideas. That is one of the reasons Vistage members grow their businesses 3x faster than their competitors. Don’t yawn, yes, I know you know that.
Speakers, TedX, books, all these thought leaders can help you get more tools, and we need more tools. We need to hire better, innovate faster, stay ahead of the competition, align our teams and manage cash.
So, here is my question: you know it, so why don’t you do it?
Let me start the list:
You don’t have time to plan,
You get interrupted all day long,
your competition is moving faster than you are,
you don’t have the right people on the bus,
you’re not profitable enough,
we could keep going for a very long list
It won’t happen if you don’t manage your focus. The universe wins, and you lose.
Pick one thing you will do this week to improve your outcomes.This is just discipline and focus. Maybe it is spending 20 minutes before you go home to plan tomorrow. Maybe it is cutting down the time in meetings by 5 minutes a meeting. Maybe it is making a list of 3 things you will delegate and then delegating.
