Navigating Through Business Pressure
Owing a business is an audacious task. There are numerous things that need to be completed in a day. It gets so frustrating that owners and fitness professionals question how all will get accomplished. The crux of the issue lies not in the amount of time or lack of time, but organization.
The successful entrepreneur is well organized. The more organized the professional the easier the day. The best and most successful understand how to move around the hurdles in a structured manner so that they accomplish more- with less.
I recall many years ago living in New Jersey and commuting to Manhattan, one frequently stopped to pay tolls. These necessities are required for road improvements, etc. yet they become any annoyance and add time to your commute. Tolls create agitation because you need to stop and restart, they frustrate you as you fumble for ways to weave through the longest line to ease your commute and finally, distract you as you watch other foppish commuters.
There are three tolls in your life and your business that disrupt your day they are:
1. People
2. Problems
3. Processes
Each of these factors contributes to a waste of time, energy and euphoria and manage to throw your days into pandemonium. For you to gain instant organizational momentum you must embark in three ideologies:
• You must have a healthy selfishness
• You must keep in mind moments do not return
• You must embrace the issue and make an immediate change
If you keep these in mind throughout the day your disarray will lead to order.
When we look at organizational skills we need to first understand what gets in the way of efficiency and organization and the most common cause of disorder. Procrastination detains you. When you steer away from confrontational or imperative issues you back up other issues creating a domino effect.
There are a number of major reasons for procrastination such as is a FEAR. The issue takes too long to complete, is too boring or simply is ridiculous and takes time from something else. Yet, research shows that in 98% of instances when procrastination exists, the excuses for procrastinating actually take more time then the issue itself.
Marcia Wieder states: “It’s how we spend our time here and now, that really matters. If you are fed up with the way you have come to interact with time, change it.” In other words if you find yourself not dealing with things, paperwork is piling up and calls unreturned then you must absolutely begin to change you habits. Paperwork, calls and reports do not disappear because of avoidance they grow LARGER!!!
Self-management is simply the result of developing good habits and letting them control you. or another way to look at it is don’t let bad habits control you ---you are in charge…so you make choices
