Shh! I’m not really here

I have a confession to make.

I'm in Orlando at a mastermind meeting.

The truth is, I wrote this DEEmail last Friday. My executive assistant, The Amazing Airize, put it into Keap, and, voila, it arrived in your inbox.

Automation is a beautiful thing; however, you don't?always?want to rely on technology to do it.

Living legend Dean Jackson teaches a concept he calls "human automation." Those are essential processes in your business that can't be done with technology but that you should not be doing.

An example is the process for my daily DEEmails.?All I need to do is write them, and then my Airize takes them, puts them into Keap, puts them on my blog, makes them look pretty, and posts them on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Because I have this "human automation" process set up, I can focus only on what I do best - everything else is "automatically" taken care of for me.

Here's an exercise I'd like you to do:

1. Write down everything you do in your business daily.
2. Look at the list and put a checkmark next to the things that only you can do. You must be ruthlessly honest with yourself. Ask, "Am I the only person who can do this?"
3. Pick one item on your list that you should?not?be doing and either use technology or "human automation" to ensure it gets done.
4. Repeat step #3 until everything not checked on your list is off your plate.

Do that and watch your productivity soar and your stress level decrease.

Kick butt, make mucho DEEnero!
