What do you do when the math just doesn’t add up?

Thank you for calling GIH where we instigate growth one call at a time where we utilize antiquated technology to deliver 3-minute leadership lessons every day of the week!  This is message #114 and I am Aaron Havens.

What do you do when your E+T doesn’t equal R?
What???!!! You don’t know what those mean?  Haha.
Well I just made them up.  So…

Effort+Time=Results
What do you do when you Effort + Time doesn’t produce the Results you desire

May I summarize and synthesis an example?
In one of the companies I co-lead we have about 60K in outstanding invoices due to us.  Work is done.  Workers are paid.  No expenses on this money.  As soon as checks come in they go to the + column in our books.

Yet yesterday I worked 17.5 hours and returned to an empty mailbox.  No checks… and might I say… our business bank account is dangerously low.

So.  What do you do when you Effort and Time doesn’t produce results?

Today I’ve reached out to a few business savvy people in my life and I’m ready to throw a punch at today.  My goal for today is to see cash in the bank so we have a bit more wiggle room.  And you know what?  If that doesn’t happen, I know I will have pushed the needle as far as I can and the sun will still come up tomorrow.  It will all work out and be good.

Enough with my vulnerability.  What about you?
After all the “E” effort in your days.
Letting “T” maturate and saturate.
What “R” result are you seeing?  And if it’s not the desired “R”… how are you responding to equation?

Here’s what you do.  Make a fist, do what you know, trust your success plan and GO FOR IT.  Tomorrow will come no matter what.  Do what you can today and trust the results.  I know when results are positive I’m thankful… I don’t say “look at how awesome I am”.  So, when the results are negative don’t you dare say “look how much I suck”.  You,.. and me… my friends have got this.  Stick with it, keep putting in the E, let T do it’s thing and trust the R’s!

Thanks for calling in today.  Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic!  After the beep:  What can you do today to put in E (effort) and can you be content and centered regardless of the R’s (results)?  I’d love to hear you unpack this one!…
