Action Principles

Pick one to do this week.

1. Adopt the engineering mindset. It helps to view a challenge from the big-picture perspective. You'll be able to see various options to decide which would be the best approach. ACTION: Step back and look at a current problem as a whole rather than focusing on the details.

2. Delegate efficiently. A great leader lets people do what they do best. You can't be everything to everyone. ACTION: Delegate a task to someone on your team who can do a better job than you.

3. Fill a need. If you want to start a business, make sure it's doing something that fills an existing need. ACTION: Ask yourself if there's a problem you see over and over again and how you can fill that need in a way that is profitable.

4. Know your worth. Don't be afraid to charge accordingly. You'll attract your ideal clients when you value your time. ACTION: Reassess your fees to determine if you're charging what you are worth. If not, consider making changes.
