Q: How Do I Find Time to Focus On Running My Business vs. Being In The Business?

Finding time to focus on running your business while getting bogged down by the business can be rough.

We are typically so busy being reactive that we get derailed by smaller tasks and lose sight of our goals.

What does that mean? If you’re spending time on low impact, low priority tasks you are unable to focus on your biggest and best opportunities for growth.

So here’s what you should be doing… Decide what gets you closer to your goals then backfill with the lower impact activities.

Would you like an easy way to decide what activities are your highest impact and which are your lowest and can be put off until last?

You’re in luck… I have created a Productivity Funnel worksheet that makes it easy for my clients to prioritize and focus on their goals.
