Do you know how it feels when you’re running so fast in your business, that you can’t keep up? That no matter what you seem to do, you just can’t get the most important tasks done? Every time you go to work on your business some disaster or distraction grabs your attention and your time?  The importance of planning your time to focus on what’s really important cannot be expressed enough.

Dennis and his business partner Graham own a health retreat. They never seemed to have any time to market their business because they were ‘too busy’ dealing with the unexpected every day.  They wanted to spend time on ‘marketing’ but never got around to it.

For two weeks I had them record every crisis they encountered. They then reviewed each event and asked themselves ‘which of these events could have been avoided?’

We discovered that 80% of the ‘crisis’ could easily have been overcome had they bothered to plan their time and stop to consider what could occur with some of the decisions that had been made.

For instance, they were having cash flow problems and ‘all of a sudden’ the occupancy rate was extremely low and they were panicking.

Had they done what we had agreed upon a few weeks prior…invested an hour each week to get their special promotion out to their database, they had the potential to increase their business by $90,000! They couldn’t believe how simple it was.

Sure ‘things happen’ which can’t be avoided, but how often have you missed golden opportunities to boost your business because you were stuck in crisis mode?

It’s so easy to get caught up in the little things in your business which actually have a major impact on your productivity and your profits.
