What Successful People Do Each Day…
Starting out from meager beginnings and having reached into what our society considers affluent, I suppose I have an opinion about what successful people do to get to where they want to go. I didn’t get to where I am simply by chance. My clients don’t either. Similar to a sports fan watching their teams, it’s fascinating to study the strategy and execution of people, teams, and organizations within professional service organizations. I see a lot just by observing. This article: “14 Things Ridiculously Successful People Do Everyday” by Travis Bradberry sums up many key tactics. The one addition I’d make is to visualize yourself in your new reality. Whether you want to lose twenty pounds or bring in $1M more in revenue, you have to see it before you become it.
Here are the others that resonate most with me:
1. Focus on minutes, not hours.
2. Focus on only one thing.
3. Make it home for dinner.
4. Process emails only a few times a day.
5. Avoid meetings at all costs.
6. Follow the 80/20 rule.
7. Delegate almost everything.
8. Touch things only once.
9. Practice a consistent morning routine.
10. Energy is everything. (You increase your productivity by increasing your attention, focus – if you struggle with this – try yoga or meditation).
