What would happen to your business if you worked it like it was the day before vacation, every day?
Tonya Grimes:
Get into the habit of working every day like it’s the day before vacation. The reward is the peace and calmness you will feel (and you’re family will feel) because you’re not running around at the last minute trying to squeeze a week of preparations into the last few hours before you leave on vacation or before you must meet a business deadline.
What can you be doing right now with a sense of urgency to move your business forward? My guess is that you have a whole list of people who need you to follow up with them on the phone. Is that right? What is preventing you from picking up the phone and making those calls right now—and then what will prevent you from moving on to the next task after you’ve finished with your calls? You see, it’s about discipline—doing the things you need to do and doing them now. You can bet the successful people in your company are doing what they need to do right now–won’t you join them?
