Profit Per Puppy

Profit Per Puppy

The economic engine of your business can be measured as Profit per X. What “X” is in your business is something you have to figure out for yourself. This metric represents the “flywheel” of your company because when you change the critical number, it has an astronomical impact on all other areas of the business.

Stop Letting People Waste Your Time

Stop Letting People Waste Your Time

How much time are you wasting because you can’t say “no?” Chances are, unless you’ve got a hierarchy of pre-vetted business priorities, that number is higher than you think.

It is impossible to know the priorities of your business unless you know every task in that business. Each and every business owner needs to have some kind of system in which they keep track of everything that goes on in their business.

Fill Your Life With the Highest Priority

Fill Your Life With the Highest Priority

If you don’t use your resources to accomplish high-priority, meaningful goals, they’ll be consumed by low-priority annoyances. The best example of this is time. Have you ever noticed that, when you’ve got some unallocated time in your schedule, it tends to get used up dealing with short-term, emotion-based, unrewarding activities? Maybe it’s a client who […]

You’re Stumbling in the Dark
