Recently I had the chance to speak to a group of local business owners and educate them on some of the most valuable skills successful entrepreneurs implement...

Here are my Top 9 sure fire ways to be more productive in life and business:

By implementing any of these tips, you will save time, improve productivity, decrease stress and create opportunities to make more cash!

1. Having a planning mindset
2. Calendar management
3. Task chunking
4. Time chunking
5. Consistent outreach and follow up process
6. Incorporate Systems
7. Effective filing
8. Utilize tools that streamline your work
9. Delegation

So let's dissect the process of planning... Why do we do it?

In business, planning is considered a basic management function involving a formulation of one or more detailed plans to achieve optimum balance of needs or demands with the available resources.

** Real life example: You are about to promote a new service or product but didn't plan in advance, therefore sales were not as successful as they could have been.

In life, planning is a method of acting, doing, proceeding and making in advance.

** Real life example: I already planned for the summer and booked camp for all of the kids, by planning in advance, I caught the early bird special and saved 10%! (Yep, it's that simple)

Simply put, without a plan we end up spinning the wheels of procrastination which leads to indecision, uncertainty, and lack of purpose and direction.

So if failing to plan stifles our growth, why then do people not implement it daily...?

If this content resonates with you, I encourage you to respond and let me know how planning or lack thereof has either positively or negatively affected your life...
