Focus on What You Do Best

 Practical Tips For Business Builders

A good way to decide what to do with tasks is to label them as they come in - don’t let them pile up.

A great system is the 4-D Formula:

1. DO IT - these are urgent tasks that need to be taken care of right away. Take action immediately and finish the task.

2. DELEGATE IT - these are things that need to be done, but don’t have to be done by you. Hand these over to someone else immediately so you don’t have to think about them at all. Make that person responsible for these tasks from start to finish.

3. DEFER IT - these things need to be done, but not right away. Put them in a pile marked “later” and handle them after the urgent tasks have been completed.

4. DUMP IT - these are things that you don’t want to do and don’t necessary have to be done at all. On your computer it’s the ever-present “delete” key. That handles our junk e-mail.

As you really get going on your primary aim, the workload is going to increase. If you are a person who wants complete control of every little thing in your life and business you’re going to be in trouble.

Control is an illusion. No one controls anyone or anything. You will need to continue to focus on your primary goal and allow others to help you. It will help to practice the 4-D Formula.

DELEGATE IT !
That's the best way to success of your business... But, in this era of selfishness and loneness who to delegate it? That's one of my problems in my online and offline business. In the past 4 years I have changed by firing about 40 people in my construction company, but I have now 3 good and stable workers and partners.
