Focus On Your Strengths, Delegate Your Weaknesses

By Lorraine | June 29, 2008

To gain more of what you want out of life you need to use your strengths and delegate your weaknesses.

One of my clients runs a mail-order business and prior to being coached by me he used to spend 90% of his time working in his business being involved in every aspect from the bookkeeping to fulfilling orders.

delegate delegateHis strengths lay in the development of his business and his people.

His time was being chewed up by activities he could pay other people to handle who would carry out these tasks in a fraction of the time he took.

Don’t waste another moment being involved in your areas of weakness, find other people to do that and you focus on your strengths. You’ll be happier and you’ll make more money.

Returning Phone Calls And Emails

By Lorraine | June 22, 2008

I get annoyed when I constantly have to phone or email the same person because they don’t respond to my messages. The impression I form of them can include any or all of the following: they’re disorganised, don’t care or avoiding me, are too busy to be interested in what I may want (even if it is to spend money with them). There are often other reasons but these are the key ones that come up for me.

emailingMake it a habit to return your calls and emails within 24 hours. If you’re unavailable, make sure someone else in your office can be or leave a recorded message on your phone or autoresponder on your email stating when you’ll be available.

People aren’t going to hang around waiting. They’ll take their business elsewhere.

Recognition Increases Your Motivation

By Lorraine | June 19, 2008

 It’s great to receive a compliment or recognition for what you do. My blog was rated in the ‘Top 50 Productivity Blogs of the Year’ at Evan Carmichael’s ‘Entrepreneur Blog Network’. Having your own business is an achievement in itself and it’s easy to forget just how valuable you are. On a recent Client Teleconference, I asked those in attendance “when was the last time someone gave you a compliment or recognition for something you’d done?” They all had to think long and hard about that question. Pity isn’t it? Doesn’t take much to make someone’s day.
