Most entrepreneurs spend their days crossing off tasks on their to-do list only to realize they haven't really accomplished anything that will move them closer to their goals and objectives. What makes this worse is that when the essential tasks need to be done, they often feel too tired, drained, and unwilling to work on those tasks. One way to eliminate what is considered ‘busy work,' is to automate those time-consuming and energy-draining tasks to make room for the high-priority tasks that will help you reach your goals.

Delegate and Outsource Non-Essential Tasks : Many entrepreneurs are under the impression that in order for them to be successful, they need to be the ones to do everything in their business. Unfortunately, this only leads to them working too many hours and not seeing the results. To be a more productive entrepreneur and have the time to work on those activities that will help you grow your business and increase your profit, you need to know when to delegate and outsource those tasks that you either don't have sufficient skills to complete or tasks that are necessary but that don't help you improve your business.
