As you are making your 2010 plans, I have one word that is life and business changing: SIMPLIFY!
We are all making business and life too difficult. Just look at and audit your calender for the last 90 days. Busyness...Busy being busy. Noisy!
There is a much better way.
Simplify.
Less is more.
Let's not mistake activity for achievement!
I could care less who is the busiest (noisy activities)...but I am totally engaged on who is running the business (achievement)
To be more successful, get rid of all the "stuff". And then concentrate on the big impact activities only. And I promise all of those will have one word in common: Relationships.
- Relationships with employees
- Relationships with stake holders
- Relationships with customers
Simplify. Get rid of noise and clutter.
