Less Input - More Output
The reason I am writing this article now is that so many things have been happening and, changing for the better.
The reason I am writing this article now is that so many things have been happening and, changing for the better.
I kept getting more and more info I wanted to share with you. But, I can’t wait any longer. Sometimes, you can have too many good developments in your life and business that, even one more piece of good news is not welcome because you simply have too much on your plate already.
Too much information is simply too much no matter what.
Often, too many options leaves you frozen. When you start thinking the option you’ve chosen is really the best choice, the other killer idea on that yellow pad may be even better, so you reevaluate, and reevaluate and you end up making absolutely the worst decision of them all… NO DECISION!
Scary thought isn’t it? It absolutely sucks.
I’ve noticed that struggling entrepreneurs are nothing more than information junkies. They simply don’t have the power to turn off this constant craving for more info, because they want to learn. If you can’t turn it off - it becomes one of the single biggest obstacles to achieving success. Remember that as long as you’re inputting, you’re not outputting. Yet, success hinges on your output. So if you’re an information junkie, time to go on an information diet.
You’ve got to get all that extra info out of sight so you don’t even feel the temptation. Make your office a rehab, no information is allowed to come in whatsoever for the next week. Develop urgency in everything you do for the next week and you’ll be blown away at your level of output. The only information you can have is the information you create. Stop studying, stop analyzing and start creating.
If you really want to grow your business you are going to have to answer a single question that almost no struggling entrepreneur ever asks themselves..
You want to know what it is?
Of course you do, so let’s press on… Now listen, don’t let the simplicity of the question fool you because it’ll be easy to dismiss it, but I promise you that if you do, you’ll never even achieve a fraction of what you are capable of.
Here it is:
What Work Are You Willing To Leave Undone?
As soon as you realize that you can’t learn and read everything, nor can you cross off every item on your to-do list, the better. Because at that very moment you’ll realize that prioritizing is the most important thing, no matter what.
You see, realizing you can’t do everything helps you determine what you really must be doing, and realizing you can’t read everything forces you to decide which information you must read.
Now if you are wondering how you make these difficult decisions, I have your answer. And it’s simple…
You have to know what you want and what you need to do to get it.
Once you know this you’’ll be in a position to make effective decisions about what you should be doing, who you should be talking to, and what you should be studying.
Do you know what your top three objectives are right now in your business? Are they concisely stated, at your fingertips, so you always know precisely what you should be working on?
If your answer is yes - congratulations you are on your way towards success. But, if you can’t rattle them off in rapid fire then it’s time to get serious and figure out what you really want, what you are willing to do to get it, and what steps you must take to achieve it.
Like I said in the beginning of this article, I’ve got a lot more to tell you - but it will have to wait until later—because I need to get some sleep.
