Every chapter of my book Wind In Your Sails: Vital Strategies That Accelerate Your Entrepreneurial Growth ends with the section Take Action Now. Here are my actions for the entrepreneur.
How you manage yourself and your life has a huge impact on your business. Building daily, weekly, and quarterly rhythms keeps you at peak performance. Being clear on what an ideal day is for you will help you clear away the clutter that is dragging you down. If everyone is pulling in the same direction, you dramatically improve the chance of making progress. Use these three actions to create momentum for you, your team, and your business:
- Create a daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly rhythm for yourself. Write it down and stick with it.
- Define your ideal day and then ensure that you live an aspect of your ideal day every day.
- Within the next week, ask your first reports what they think the strategy for the quarter is. Use their feedback to improve your communication to them and the rest of your organization.
