1. Having meetings in the same place
As CEOs and business owners, we participate in countless
meetings every day. One way to maximize our time is to schedule consecutive
meetings in the same place. Not only will you eliminate those meetings during
the day, but you will not have to change locations. You will not waste time
going from one place to another and you can spend some time concentrating on
what should happen during the meeting.
2. Get organized
The supposed correlation between being organized and being
productive is a belief that not everyone subscribes to. But it's something that
works for me. My desk is organized; everything has its place; therefore, I feel
ready to face the day.
3. Stay connected
When we begin our entrepreneurial journey, we are in charge
of everything from answering telephones and mail packages to billing and
business development. As our company becomes a solid company, we delegate some
of those responsibilities to other employees; And if our business takes off, we
delegate while we focus even more on how to expand the business. With the
expansion come growing pains that can make us lose focus; we disconnect
ourselves, from the day-to-day details, and sometimes from our own employees.

4. Learn something new every day
When we are young, we believe that learning stops after we
leave the university. As we get older and, hopefully, we are wiser, we realize
that this is not the case. Learning never stops; and, if it is successful, it
must become a voracious reader or a big news consumer.
5. Ask the right questions and push the envelope
Most of our workload revolves around the "what" or
the "how", what are we working on today? How are we going to achieve
this task? But, what we do not focus on anymore is the "why".
Successful people constantly ask questions and push the envelope. Of course,
that may sound like a small child asking endless questions, but asking
"why" helps you understand the process and, possibly, find
alternative ways to solve a problem.
Success means different things to different people. Some
measure it in titles, money, social / financial status or simply personal
satisfaction. Find out what success means to you and work to achieve that goal.
Then examine your daily routine and perform an honest self-assessment. That is
your plan.
