We all start off the year with the best of intentions. I’ve set goals, drafted plans, created incentive programs, etc…but why does it seem we find ourselves, off course, distracted or not even on the same playing field as we were just a few weeks ago?
Often, it is simply that we are trying to do too much. So before you make a promise, or set a deadline, actually before you create the plan take a look at the big picture. Often this can be done by simply making a list of all the things you need to do, then go back and highlight all those things which are not your absolute core-competency. The remaining items that are on your list can usually be outsourced to consultants, interns or part-time employees.
If the thought of finding someone for each of these tasks seems daunting find someone who can act as a project manager: someone who can research copywriters, graphic artists, retirement plans or phone systems and provide you with 2 or 3 choices to review.
Just remember you don’t have to do it all at once nor do you have to do it alone!
