The Right Timing

I never wear a watch because for me the exact time is NOW.

Most of my tasks need to be completed – NOW.

My software developers need my input – NOW!

My Clients need some personal attention – NOW.

The dog has to go out – NOW.

The dinner party YOU organized needs to be prepared – NOW.

What good is a watch when everything needs to be done NOW?

OK, enough ranting; Perhaps it would be helpful to know that a bit of project planning, prioritizing and sorting come in handy to coordinate tasks and dependencies and plan your day more time effectively but the truth is that if you can focus on what you do best and delegate or outsource everything else – the primary skill will always be project planning in order to coordinate your life with your objectives and be able to have some peace and quiet at night. This is why we sharpen our saws each year with additional training and also why we offer our Clients the opportunity to benefit from our newly acquired skills as soon as we return from these trainings… such as NOW!

Ready to address your objectives and shift gears into a more productive state of mind?  Just drop us a line and we’d be happy to share some of our new time saving tricks with you and your team.

Radical Approach – Know thy Customer

One of my mentors told a Client (a manufacturer of drills) that

“People don‘t want your product.”

The president of this large manufacturing firm looked shocked but my mentor continued,

“Your Customers are not interested in drills with more bells and whistles.
They are in the business of making holes – and they want help with 2 things:

1) Making more holes in less time and
2) Making good quality holes

end of story.”

With these words of advice the manufacturer changed his entire marketing approach and for the following 5 years achieved sales records never seen in that industry before.

Think about it for a moment…
What do your Customers really want?
What specific benefit can you provide them with both today and in the future?
What are you waiting for?
