• It Empowers others to put out the fires
• It transfers your authority to them
• It multiplies your effort
The moment that you stop delegating, or choose to not
delegate and empower is the moment that you have chosen
to have a job instead of owning a business.
The third necessary tool in your 2023 business planning
toolkit is the non-negotiable Weekly Schedule.
You feel busy but not productive because you have little to
no boundaries.
I recently heard Lance Golinghorst articulate that we all have
access to three major scarce resources: time, energy, and
attention.
Attention is indivisible. It is well researched that multitasking
doesn’t work. As I am writing and reading this, I should not
be brushing my teeth or checking my bank balance.
Energy is renewable (I can generate more energy), and
transferable (I can give you energy and you can give me
energy).
The real wake up call is in regard to our time. Time is
non-renewable (we cannot make more of it), and it is not
transferable (you cannot give yours to me).
You go into each week with a defined, finite allotment of
time. Either you put boundaries throughout your day roping
off all of the tasks and responsibilities, or we will do it for
you.
If you do it, it allows you to maximize your scarce resources
of time, energy, and attention. If we do it for you, then we
will devour your time, energy, and attention.
You can make excuses as to why it won’t work in the
specific role you are in. We love you, but your role is not a
special unicorn or snowflake. Own your role by owning the
boundaries for your role and then share those boundaries
with us so we can support you.
Finally, for a robust 2023 business plan, you will benefit from
building and implementing a Culture Calendar.
The culture of your business is not happenstance...it is not an
accident, and no luck is required.
The culture of your business is a DIRECT RESULT of the
ingredients that you allow to enter the mash bill.
If you allow the ingredients of unpredictability, inconsistency,
minimal communication, lack of process, lack of mission,
gossip, and no values in decision making, then the result
will be a business that has notes of unpredictability, lack of
process and the like.
If however, you allow only the ingredients of consistent
communication, accountability, humor, reinforced process,
and clarity in vision, mission, and values, then the result will
be a business that has notes of the same.
Again, the four tools that will change the game for you and
your team in 2023.
1. Vision Story
2. Delegation Roadmap
3. Weekly Schedule
4. Culture Calendar
Our mission is to help liberate business owners, like you,
from chaos to make time for the things that matter most.
Working 70 hours a week is NOT what matters most…
empowering others to live into their narrow brilliance IS what
matters most.
Remember, when you choose to implement, you are choosing
to cut the chaos and make time for what matters most.
Joe Calloway said it, “vision without implementation is
hallucination.”
