• Being strategic and effective is all about getting the right things done.

    In order to become a strategic entrepreneur you will need to build the habit of effectiveness. No one is born effective - I repeat - it's not an inborn trait, so... if you never worked on developing the skill of effectiveness you are not as effective as you could be or should be.

    Therefore to build the habit of effectiveness you'll need to practice (consistent practice leads to powerful habits) the five skill sets I laid out for you in the last post.

    While the 5 skill sets above are all easy to understand, they aren't so easy to do well. In other words, you will have to build and develop them (they don't appear like magic), just like you've learned how to do anything else important in your life. You need to continually practice over and over again until these five skill sets become "The Way" you automatically go about doing your work.

    Next week I'll breaking down in detail how learning and developing habits go hand in hand and the key distinctions you must understand to be successful.

    If you've been keeping up, today should be day 3 of your time log. Is it getting easier? It should be by now, and you should also start seeing how much time you've been spending on tasks and activities other than your top priorities.

    Scary, isn't it? Just keep up the good work, make sure that you spend as little time (none would be best) multitasking as possible.

    Stay focused on one task at a time. It'll be easier to record, and its the work process of highly effective entrepreneurs. So just keep recording, keep focused and notice your patterns, make today a super-productive day.
