How To Have a Productive Day Rather Than a Busy Day


Quote of the Day:

"At the end of each day you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you" - Jim Rohn

Did you know that there is a GIGANTIC difference between having a productive day versus simply having a busy day?

I can't tell you how many people I know, whom I have worked with personally, who THOUGHT that they were being productive in their businesses (especially those who have their own home based businesses), only to find out that they were simply conducting menial tasks that meant nothing to their bottom line.

Folks...in the end, the only thing that matters is PRODUCTION. What did you produce today? In fact, here's a GREAT TIP to help keep you on track. I do it. It works!

Take out a piece of paper and write down the following words: WHAT DID I PRODUCE TODAY ???

Now...post it someplace you HAVE TO SEE IT DAILY. The bathroom mirror, your computer monitor. Put it someplace where you CANNOT MISS IT. That is the important part. Reading it daily and asking yourself that simple question.

If you want to make it in any industry, you must PRODUCE. Being busy doesn't cut it. Being productive is all that matters. Focus your time conducting Revenue Producing Activities. If it doesn't make you money, then don't do it. I still have yet to meet a person who makes money dusting their desk, organizing their leads, or cleaning up their office files.

You MUST spend your limited time in production mode. We are ALL limited to 24 hours in a given day. The question you have to ask yourself is, how am I spending my valuable time??

How productive are you? It all starts with Building Your Personal and Business Relationships!
