But I also shared that the idea you can fix your time management issues is all a HOAX, a sham, perpetuated by "business coaches" and consultants who want billable hours to build revenue from the same business pain over and over again.

 

It is only with our final steps #9 & #10, the 2-True Easy Steps To Conquer Time Management,  the 2-Steps no "business coach" or consultant dare share or lose billing hours, that the solution to Time Management can be found.

 

Well here are the  2-True Easy Steps To Conquer Time Management,  the 2-Steps no "business coach" or consultant dare share or lose billing hours, because they are the only way to fix your time management.

 

Step #9:  Recognize, Accept and Do something about it because all Time Management issues are about FEAR!

 

If you are typical and I don't mean to suggest you are typical, but if you are a typical business owner, then all your Time Management issues exist because of your FEAR to do something!

 

That's right your...FEAR to do something!

 

To do what?  How about FEAR to HIRE someone to do some of your work?  How about FEAR to do WORK that you don't know how to do?

 

Whatever the FEAR, it prompts you to work at the "Minor Many" where you are comfortable, instead of the "Major Few" that will actually advance your business to the kind of successes you want.

 

Step #10:  Be the "Business-Warrior!

 

I have written and spoken extensively this year about the idea of being the Business-Warrior.  Just be the WARRIOR!

 

This is the most effective cure for your Time Management woes.  Be better today then you were yesterday, be better tomorrow then you are today...be the Business-Warrior; hold on to the major Objectives to be achieved, believe there is no option but to achieve them, let nothing stand in your way....especially yourself.

 

Done!  Be The Business-Warrior.

BONUS Step #11:  Do or Do Not There is No Try!

 

If you want to be successful, if you want to earn a position of leadership in your industry, if you want to achieve the financial results that have thus far eluded you THEN STOP TRYING!

 

Seriously, if you remove the word "try" from your vocabulary and accept there is ONLY Do or Do Not (as the great Yoda tells us in Star War V), then you will never again have a Time Management issue.

 

DO!

 

I can't believe there are still business owners that are faced with Time Management issues with all that has be written about Time Management in teh past.  It is really inexcusable.

Time Management: Now For Steps 3, 4 & 5 But…

 Continued from previous articles 1st Article

 

Earlier this week I shared that the idea you can fix your time management issues is all a HOAX, a sham, perpetuated by "business coaches" and consultants who want billable hours to build revenue from the same business pain over and over again.

 

Due to the resounding positive response to our own 10-Steps To Conquer Time Management I felt compelled to share them with you.

 

But it is still a HOAX that you can actually fix your time management issues. 

 

It is only with our final steps #9 & #10, the 2-True Easy Steps To Conquer Time Management,  the 2-Steps no "business coach" or consultant dare share or lose billing hours, that the solution to Time Management can be found.

 

Here are Steps 3, 4 & 5 of our 10-Easy Steps to Conquering Time Management:

 

Step #3:  Start the work

 

Obvious yes...but let's not overlook it as a key step.  I you never start work on a project it will certainly never be accomplished.  

 

Want to get to the 10-Easy Steps to Conquer Time Management and find out the 2-True Easy Step plus so much more, check out this resource right HERE

 

Step #4:  Negotiate time & interruptions with stakeholders

 

Whether it is family, friends or business colleagues and bosses, when work needs to get done then negotiate the time you need to do it and set parameters for interruptions.

 

Having done that though you must live to your own side of the negotiation.  If you ask the family for peace and quiet to say write your book from 10:00AM to 5:00PM then don't be found watching the Masters with a beer or spritzer (for the women golfers) at 2:00PM.  If you do, you run the risk that the next time you contract for time with your stakeholders it will fall flat because you broke your own rule.

 

Step #5:  Time Block & Batch Process

 

In simple terms, use your calendar to make appointments with yourself to get work done.  Then protect them as if they are the most important meetings you will have (yes with just you) because they may very well be. 

 

If the work involves redundant work then batch that redundant work together and do it all at one time.

The next 5-Easy Steps will follow over the next few days but remember it is all a HOAX, a sham, that you can fix your time management issues until we get to THE 2-True Easy Steps being Steps #9 & #10.

Perpetuated By "Business Coaches" & Consultants

 

 

I was recently asked to present a 60-minute webinar on how to resolve Time Management issues to an international group of business owners.

 

My first reaction was..."are you serious?  Doesn't everyone know by now how to manage their time effectively?"

 

Talk about a topic that has been beaten to death.

 

Still I persevered and prepared my own "Conquering Time Management; 10-Easy Steps"

 

Well the positive feedback was so overwhelming I feel compelled to share these 10-Easy Steps to Conquer Time Management here for all of my business friends.

 

But I need to be honest with you!

 

The idea you can fix your time management issues is all a HOAX, a sham, perpetuated by "business coaches" and consultants who want billable hours to build revenue from the same business pain over and over.

 

Don't get me wrong, Easy Steps 1 - 8 To Conquer Time Management are indeed powerful but it is only in Steps #9 & #10 that we find the 2-True Easy Steps To Conquer Time |Management.  These are the 2-Steps no "business coach" or consultant dare share or lose billing hours

 

But I don't want to jump ahead and so will begin at the beginning.....with 10-Easy Steps to Conquering Time Management:

 

Step #1:  Set the Objective and reverse engineer the process

 

An effective method for ensuring projects/work are completed on time is to set the date by which the project must conclude, the drop-dead date if you will.  Then reverse engineer the process that gets the project to that point.  How much by when if you will.  Be specific...be very specific at each step in terms of what outcome by what date

 

Want to get to the 10-Easy Steps to Conquer Time Management and find out the 2-True Easy Step plus so much more, check out this resource right HERE

 

Step #2:  Chunk Down

 

In the process of reverse engineering projects/work, break the work down into the smallest components.  It is easier to move mole hills then mountains.  The work will get done and more likely on time if the pieces of work are smaller.

The next 8-Easy Steps will follow over the next few days but remember it is all a HOAX, a sham, that you can fix your time management issues until we get to THE 2-True Easy Steps being Steps #9 & #10.
