Left to our own devices, most of us will choose to do first whatever is easiest. Nine times out of ten, that task will have the least impact on our success. It's the way most of us are wired -- to spend most of our time in our comfort zones. But what would happen if we changed that habit? Successful business people spend 80 percent of their time on what will have the highest impact on their success. In fact, whenever possible, they delegate everything else. They know how to determine, in any given moment, what action will give them the highest return on their energy right now, and they do that first. It's a winning habit. How do you decide what your highest payoff action is? Well, here's the thing. You instinctively know . . . it's the thing that makes you squirm. It's the stretch. It's the task or project that requires you to get centered, focus, take a risk, use your creativity or develop new skills. For example: - Directly asking a potential client to hire you. - Doing research on your niche market to determine what's most important to them. - Setting revenue projections and creating a marketing funnel to achieve them. - Creating a product and implementing a leveraged marketing plan to sell it. - Asking readers to buy your products or services in your ezine. - Presenting your key message to your target market and following up in a timely way with prospects. Make your own list. Prosperous Coach Mentor, Sue Brundege, can help you create a realistic and appropriately challenging list with a JumpStart Session. Check each task for that squirm factor -- that's how you know you've hit the mark of a high pay off activity that will get you closest to meaningful contact with ideal clients or increase your profit. If a task is mostly mindless and requires little creativity or confidence -- if it feels comfortable, then it's most likely a low or no pay off activity. Getting caught up in email or administrative tasks are classic examples. Short Listing Are you ready to shake things up and get better results from your efforts? Try this new daily habit: 1. At the end of each day, choose 1 - 3 high payoff actions for the next day. 2. Schedule time at the beginning of the day for those tasks. 3. The next day, after exercise and breakfast, focus exclusively on those high pay off tasks. Don't even check your email first. Push aside all distractions. 4. At the end of that day, acknowledge your accomplishments. 5. Schedule your short list for the next day. At the end of one week, notice how much more progress you've made. It might be helpful to have a mentor coach hold you accountable and help you adjust focus as needed. Gradually, over the next few months, shift those no or low payoff activities over to a virtual assistant so that most of every day is spent on high impact efforts. Over time, your comfort zone will expand. You'll naturally take bigger risks, leap higher and your revenues will show it. Warning: this new habit will bring you satisfying success! *****
