Business leaders around the world each have their own secrets to success \u2013 traits and skills they hold as being of the highest importance when it comes to running a successful business. Chandler Rasco, Franchise Adviser for The Growth Coach, believes most of those can be categorized under T.L.C \u2013 Time, Leadership and Communication.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re going to address each of those characteristics in a three-part blog series \u2013 starting with time. In order to be a successful business owner, or even a successful employee, you have to be able to juggle multiple projects, tasks and clients. Simply, you have to be a great time manager.<\/p>\n
Time management is absolutely vital because it\u2019s the only resource we have that\u2019s genuinely limited. We can train to acquire new skills, we can make more money, we can gain more experience \u2013 but when the clock strikes 12, that\u2019s it. Time is the scarcest resource and, unless it\u2019s managed, nothing else can be managed properly.<\/p>\n
That said, here\u2019s the master key to effective time management: Do not major in minor things.<\/p>\n
To be a great time manager, learn to separate major projects from minor ones. Do not focus on minor problems. Don\u2019t stress over minor issues. Do not dedicate time to minor tasks. It\u2019s important to learn to not confuse movement from achievement and activity for results. To make good use of your time, you have to identify what\u2019s most important and then give it all you\u2019ve got. And sometimes you have to trust others to handle your smaller tasks.<\/p>\n
