(upbeat music) - Hello and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast where we will discuss topics, ideas, questions and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Ann Baccract. Today we're going to talk about effective and efficient actions that drive your success. As a business owner, it's imperative that you focus your energy on completing actions that drive your success. When you spend your work day procrastinating or refusing to delegate low priority tasks, you are losing money as well as preventing your business from growing. Here are some tips for effective actions that will drive your success. Understand what your time is worth. What do you consider to be valuable tasks for your business? How about building your client base, completing client projects and/or promoting your business? These are all important factors and you should be focusing all your energy into fulfilling these tasks in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Completing these tasks will lead to increased revenue, satisfied clients and attract the attention of more clients. Actions that increase your profits substantially are in arguably effective actions that drive your success. If you're currently a one person show, completing all of these tasks on your own is not really practical. If you also take care of administrative tasks such as answering the phones, replying to emails, bookkeeping, you are seriously hedgering the growth of your business, but you probably already knew that. Individually, these tasks may seem like quick and simple things to do and to get done, but if you take a step back and look at the big picture, you'll discover that these quick and simple tasks actually eat up countless hours of your time, decreasing your productivity and your success. The logical answer is to hire an assistant. Your time is limited and a valuable resource. Do yourself and your business a favor by delegating administrative tasks to an assistant. As a business coach, this is one of the most valuable tips for becoming more successful I can share with you. If you work from home and don't have space where an assistant can work, hey, don't worry. There are thousands of qualified and experienced virtual assistants that are willing and happy to work remotely. You can search through a database of freelance virtual assistants through various websites like elance.com or virtualassistantnetworking.com. Learn from the masters by emulating the actions that drive success used by other successful business owners and entrepreneurs. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches and growing pains. Here are some effective actions of successful business owners and entrepreneurs. First one, I like stop procrastinating. Successful people won't dare procrastinate because they know that their success is riding on their ability to grow their business. Discipline yourself to work on a daily schedule and stick to it. Focus on income driving and client building actions during the day and leave personal actions to after hours and weekends. Here's another one. Become a master marketer. Successful people are aware of the fact that clients are the reason why they're still in business. They take the time to allocate funds and time to effective marketing plans. This is not something you have to know how to do. Just hire the right person with a proven track record for delivering results. Another one is delegate, delegate, delegate. Chances are you become, you became actually an entrepreneur because you like being in charge. But you have to learn to give up some control of certain tasks. Successful business owners value the art of delegation and know that it's a vital part in expanding and reaching their business goals. Hire an assistant to take on the task that don't lead to directly putting money in your pocket. And yes, you can even delegate grocery shopping and cooking to an assistant. Successful entrepreneurs spend money to make money. Successful business owners know that in almost every profitable situation, you need to spend some money to earn more. They don't think twice about paying for the billboard ad or hiring an assistant to place calls to people because they understand the results that money will bring. Businesses need ongoing investments to expand. We all know this to be true. It's not always easy to do, but we know it to be true. One of the best pieces of advice I can offer you is to remember that you are a business, even if you're a one person show, at least for now. Keep your personal and business separate by having clear boundaries for each. Establish the days and times you'll be working and only focus on actions that drive your success. On the flip side, establish days and times when you have the time to relax and enjoy your personal time. You may not even want to invite your friends over to hang out with you when you want to relax and enjoy your personal time or you might want to have a party, whatever works best for you. Don't invite your friends to hang out in your office. It will only be a distraction and lead to immense procrastination. And don't talk business at the dinner table with your family. Give yourself the space to enjoy each of your respective lives. Last, but not least, keep in mind that your personal actions affect your professional reality. Think about your actions professionally and personally. Before you take the next step to ensure you're taking effective actions that are driving your success. With the goals you have in mind, you can now achieve them if you're not using your time and resources effectively. Take these next steps to heart. Number one, you must take action now, today. Number two, selling doesn't have to be uncomfortable. Hire the right people to do it for you and always have an online and offline marketing plan designed by someone or a firm that has a proven track record for results. Number three, you cannot build your business doing $20 an hour jobs, delegate easy tasks to an employee or a virtual assistant. Number four, the wealthy don't get rich by not spending money. However, they do spend it wisely. Pay attention to things that deliver the results and the benefits you need to grow your business and invest in those. Pass up those things that are not in line with growing your business. Quit looking at how much it pays. What does it deliver? And does the benefit get you closer to where you want to be? Well, my hope for our time together is that you got some value and an idea or two that will help you be even more successful, personally and professionally.
