Are you tracking anything in your businesses or teams to actually measure productivity?

How many of us have left our offices for a work trip or vacation thinking "I hope this place is still here when I get back!" Then, do you proceed to worry about things as you are away; checking up on your team incessantly to make sure everything is still operating?

That's not the way to live or manage a team. You attract negativity and things actually do go wrong. What if I told you that you could leave, and it would be possible to check your email just once a day and maybe take a phone call here and there, and your business would most likely be more efficient when you returned. It's possible! Tune in to find out!

Did you also know that only 1 out of 11 businesses actually sell?

It's time to take action, know where the money in our businesses is going. It's time to get a plan in place to make sure our families are taken care of and you can end up on the beach with your toes in the sand!

Many of us are still pushing ourselves to the limit physically and mentally with all the tasks of operating and running our businesses.

Have you ever been asked at the end of the week, "How was your week? What did you do?" And as you paused to respond, did you recall only how busy you were; not a single thing you actually did? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! This happens to many of us. We're 100 percent "taking care of business," but are we being proactive or reactive?

Too often we're being reactive; just handling what comes at us and then getting to the other important stuff as we have time for it. The key is to be proactive. By tracking your time and deliberately addressing the most critical tasks first, you'll see how much more productive you can be, and also how much you can hand off to others on your team.

And the best part is, you'll become more organized and better prepared for those reactive situations that tend to come up, because you'll have systems in place.

Too many of us are hesitant to spend money implementing email marketing or designing a great business website. Or maybe we don't have time to do it all ourselves.

Instead of constantly avoiding these potentially huge advancements for your business because "you've never done it before," why not just dive in, and see how much your business can grow along with your customer loyalty.

Learn what a sales funnel is, why email marketing is important, and why you shouldn't be afraid of any of it. In this episode I get to chat with Brian Hermansen, whose company BrandStack helps businesses develop their e-commerce footprint.

We're all busy! How do you want to be remembered by those you love, your children, your spouse, your friends? After your professional life is over will you have friends or family wanting to be a part of your life? Will they want to come home for Christmas?

Find time now to spend with your family/friends without having your phone or computer attached to you. It's the little moments that matter.
