What You'll Discover In This Episode:
Spend time planning each day before you give it the chance to conquer you. Planning your day is essential to your success.
You might have just read those two short sentences and thought something like, “Why would I spend time planning my day when… I already have too much on my plate each day and so many unexpected things happen that are out of my control?”
Sure, I get it. Situations like…
My kid is sick and home from school
I’m feel terrible
A deadline is fast-approaching but the work is taking much longer than expected
My employee calls out
A project goes sideways
My client needs to speak to me right away
I get stuck in traffic between meetings
My client cancels an appointment
A vendor is late for a meeting and it runs over
An upsetting email lands in my inbox
A deadline is fast-approaching but the work is taking much longer than expected
My team members’ work is not to my standards
I severely underestimate how long a task will take
I agree that no day will go as planned but encourage you to plan anyway because doing so will give you the best shot at setting yourself up for maximum productivity and success, and put you in the driver's seat of your business. Planning is about progress, not perfection. Plan each day to give yourself a target to aim for and work toward!
In this episode of the Small Business Straight Talk Podcast, I dive into my Daily RAP framework so you can use it to stop letting your day conquer you AND instead… plan and conquer each and every day, thus laying the groundwork for long-term success.
Thank you Amber for your inspiring words. You keep me focussed and on track. I walk on the beach listening to your podcasts. I find them reassuring and helpful. You help to make my busy world more manageable and less chaotic.
Thank you so much Linda! I’m so happy to hear you find my content so helpful.
