Get Out Of The Weeds
One of the most common frustrations amongst business owners is that they know they need to be focusing on strategy, vision and big picture - but can never seem to find the time to actually do it.
There’s always more pressing things to action first. Calls to make, emails to respond to, a report to review, a client to keep happy, a staff request or issue etc.
There’s quite literally 100’s of things vying for your attention at any given moment.
And it’s not because you don’t know that you need to be making more time for strategy and big picture - you do.
And that’s what makes this even harder - because you can feel the stress building up in you when you know you need to be getting to something but you aren’t.
So it’s not a question of awareness - you have that.
It’s an issue with priorities.
“What you focus on - grows”.
There will literally always be something you can focus your attention on - but is it a priority? Will it actually make a difference and move your business forward?
Hard truth - the reason you don’t get to the big picture thinking time that you know will actually set you up for success and propel your business forward - is because you don’t make it a priority.
If it was - it would be blocked out in your calendar every week and you’d be doing it - every week.
Show me your calendar and I’ll be able to predict the success of your business based on where you’re spending your time and what you’re focusing on.
So work out what’s an actual priority for you and your business and make the time for that. This is what will actually make the biggest difference.
All the other little stuff that you allow to fill your days and your weeks will work itself out and get done - it always does.
