• So, did you take action on the last post?

    Were you more effective because of the 5 minute exercise you did?

    If so, keep up the good work - If not, why not? Did you not follow through? Did you pick the wrong activity? Did you not do the exercise?

    Remember, in everything you do, whether good or bad, strive for clarity!

    Yesterday I promised I would share with you what I believe to be the five skills necessary in order to be an strategic entrepreneur. The five skills are:

    1 - Managing Your Time

    2 - Focusing Your Efforts On Important Results

    3 - Making Your Strengths Productive

    4 - Concentrating Your Efforts On Those Activities That Are Most Important To The Results You Desire

    5 - Making Effective & Strategic Decisions

    The 2 core skills - (#1) Managing Your Time and (#4) Connecting your Efforts On Whats Really Important, determine how strategic and effective you, the entrepreneur really are. You can get more of every resource except for time.

    Time is your most constricting resource - so time management is critical to getting the right things done. So, step one (and the basis for your assignment today) is to get really clear about where your time goes and then doing whats necessary to eliminate those tasks and activities that waste your time and the time of those who work for or with you.

    Your assignment for today:

    (1) Go to the link below: http://www.crypto-central.com/html/timekeeper.html

    (2) Download TimeKeeper and start using it.

    (3) Use the billing code to represent the different roles or areas of responsibility you currently have.

    (4) Use the software for the next 7 days you are working.

    (5) Print a weekly time report and email it to me before our next one on one call.

    Why I recommend TimeKeeper... If you work in front of your computer and you've never attempted to work in a focused manner on the activities that are most important, then simply having the software will improve your productivity all by itself. But the real benefits will be next week when we get a clear picture of how you are currently spending your most precious resource - YOUR TIME!

    Don't delay get the software now, and start using it today.

    You'll thank me later - I promise.
