How To Get More Time

Most want more time back in their days to focus and do the important work that will lead to growth.?

?

Time and not having enough of it is one of the biggest reasons I get told by business owners that they can’t focus on growth or bigger picture strategies right now.??

?

Or why they just need to wait 6 to 12 months for this busy period to be over & things are quieter, then they’ll have more time to focus.??

?

But honestly, it’s not about waiting until you have more time - because that will never come.??

?

If you’re doing your job right as a business owner - you will always be busy and there will always be things to sort out and fix (until you hit Stage 3 of our business stages roadmap - Lifestyle Business Owner - more on that in another post).?

?

So it’s not about waiting for more time - it’s about creating more time.??

?

Waiting for another 6 to 12 months before you focus on bigger picture strategy - just means you’re 6 to 12 months behind where you could be if you created the time & focused on it now.??

?

And creating more time for yourself - means setting boundaries.?

?

Setting boundaries and limits around the day to day work which is endless and will consume you forever if you let it.?

?

Setting boundaries with your staff, your team and even clients so that you can intentionally carve out strategic time for yourself.?

?

And honestly, this strategic time piece doesn’t need to be this big thing. It doesn’t need to be a long drawn out process where you rent out a penthouse, light candles and get yourself centred and in the right state.??

?

It really just needs to be an hour at a local cafe thinking differently and creatively about the future of your business and then making the time during the week to move these bigger picture strategies forward.?

?

So let’s get real for a second. If you’re using time as an excuse - you’re only hurting yourself, your business, your team and those around you.?

?

You’re in control of your time and what you focus on.??

?

The real question is - are you setting boundaries and spending time on the things that truly matter??

?

To your success,?
