Making Time to Make Time by Michael Smith on 11-Aug-06 5:04pm

Too Busy to Develop your Business?

I was so busy yesterday. I only stepped out to buy some lunch, otherwise I was at my desk all day. My wife arrived home from work "Busy Day?" she said "Yes" said I "Get much done?". Then I realised I didn't feel like I had achieved anything at all? Do you have days like that? It is normally because we are trying to make progress on several fronts at the same time.

Then I remembered Paul. Years ago, I used to be a director of a small business of about 30 people. We were always busy, but things never seemed to get done. Except for Paul. He was a part-time director, older and more experienced, who came in to help us one or 2 days a week. When Paul came in things always moved on. Paul's formula was simple "One day, one topic". That was it. A whole day on Marketing a whole day on Production etc. No distractions. It works.

Take one day a week or fortnight to work on your Marketing. Do nothing else on that day. Then you'll see things happen. Give me a call. I'll be your Paul. email me mike@motivationamarketing.co.uk
