Triple Your Productivity With The “List Method”
Posted by Steve Hochman on Mon. Mar. 28th, 2011
Hey Steve here - I hope you had an awesome Monday.
I wanted to share the most simple and powerful productivity tool ever.
And when used the "right" way, this little magical tool will give you WAY more free time and revenue while getting a ton more stuff done.
So here's what you do.
Put all the most important things that YOU have to do to move your business forward in the left hand column.
And put all the other stuff that you can outsource in the right hand column.
In reality only about 5% of the things you do will rapidly move your business forward, and the other 95% could be outsourced to an assistant or an outside company.
Some of the things that YOU should do are calling leads, putting out leadboxes and interviewing sales people.
Some of the things that you should outsource are inputting new clients, sending out thank you cards and paying bills.
It's super important that you make your list the night before so that you can start being productive first thing in the morning.
One of the biggest reasons that fitness professionals are not as far ahead with their business as they should be is because they do not know what to outsource and what to do.
It's not like they like to be too busy to relax, hang with their fam or get important things done...
It's just that they don't know.
So to help give you an idea of whats YOU should do and what you should OUTSOURCE, I'm going to share with you an email from one of my coaching client named Billy Hofacker.
I made all the things that YOU should be doing in BLACK, and all the things you should OUTSOURCE in RED.
Here the email from Billy, remember, the stuff in RED should be outsourced.
