16 Ways To Take More Action. Part 1

9:09 pm in Action by Artem-Iashin


1. Harness The Online Monster

Set Online Time-Limits – set aside specific amount of time each day (30 min., 1 hour etc.) to read all  news, Facebook, Twitter, digg, and stick to it!

Keep Your Momentum Going – quit checking for new emails and Twitter updates every 10 minutes –                   otherwise, the monster wins.

 

2. Learn To Love Your Inbox

Reply Quickly – if you can reply in less than 2 minutes- do it!

Keep Replies Short - Lose the “small talk” and get to the point.

Delete Old Emails – If you haven’t responded to an email in a month, delete it.

 

3. Keep Your Foot On The Gas

Eliminate Distractions –  turn off phones and instant messengers when working. Close your door. Distractions kill momentum.

 

4. Power Through Life

Focus On One Thing At A Time – Nothing is more powerful than focused, purposeful energy!

 

5. Get Addicted To Results

Always Finish The Job – just doing is not enough! Result only matters.

 

6. Soak-in The Big Picture

Keep Your To-Do List Visible – looking at your list regularly will help you stay clear of what you need to do in your life. Clarity = Power!

 

7. Make The ‘Yes’ In Your Head Louder

Declutter Regularly – a confused mind says “No!” Clutter is a major roadblock to action. Regularly clean your desk, office, house, and car of junk and things you no longer need or use.

Accumulation Of Results

4:01 pm in Action, Challenges, Enterpreneurship by Artem-Iashin


Action, in contrast to the results, do not accumulate. Let’s take a closer look at this idea.

Can you differ the results from the action?

Meeting with the client – this is the action. Negotiation – action.

The signed agreement – the result. Money paid – the result.

As you already know, an entrepreneur trying to make a minimum of work (activities) and to get maximum results.

See your work from this point of view, without habits, is very difficult. For example, you have written great letter and spend on this all day. Then you have sent it to your mail list. Is this your good achievement? No.

This was the action. Now, if this letter will produce the desired effect (in ex. appear new clients), then this is the result, and it can stack with other results.

And action … and action, unfortunately, do not accumulate.

Breakthrough to the result – an outstanding event in the life of man!

Since then, as he begins to appreciate the results and ONLY stops tolerate actions, priorities change drastically. Anything that does not work, thrown away immediately.

The sequence of actions, when done 90 or 95%, and still have 10% or 5%, and there are unforeseen difficulties, no rushes, and further squeezed with the incredible effort of will.

A man who appreciates the results, but does not appreciate the actions paradoxically much more respect for his actions and does not leave the job. He brings the follow through, even if the surrounding believe that this is impossible.
Actions for a man – it’s an investment, not cost. And investment should give interest.
We can not allow that your actions are useless. How can we escape this?

The first way – is never to do anything.

The second way – ALWAYS finish the job.
