How To Take Action
To grow a business or improve personally, a good way of doing things is to focus on the daily tasks. It's a lot like training for a sport – the win doesn't just happen, it's the practice sessions that count. So, when there’s work to do, make it the most important part of your day. Go all in.
I would suggest making excellence a part of who you are. Think of it like this: when you're cooking a meal, you don't use bad ingredients, right? The same goes for work. Don't settle for something that's just okay. Aim to make everything you do great, even the small tasks.
Here's what you specifically need to do:
- Set a daily routine that focuses on your most important work tasks.
- Every morning, ask yourself: "What work will make the biggest difference today?" Do that first.
- Review your completed tasks at the end of each day. Is the quality there? If not, figure out how to improve next time.
- Remember it's a slow climb to making your ideal work the norm – it won't happen overnight.
- If you start feeling off track, just ask, "Am I making the work the king?" This will help you focus.
Keep repeating this process. Bring top effort to each task. Before you know it, your work will shine, and that's when the goals will start to take care of themselves.
