Secrets Of Super-Productive Female Entrepreneurs (First Part)

Grow your business

1. Focus

The biggest time drain for nearly all the women business owners I know is lack of focus. It means that even if you manage to free up some precious time in your over-busy schedule to work ON your business for a change, you haven't the faintest idea where to start. You're faced with a to-do list so long and so full of huge jobs that you're paralyzed into inaction. Needless to say, this is not the way to be super-productive.

Instead, you need to make your to-do list more manageable and less terrifying and you can do this by breaking every huge job down into bite-sized chunks. I call it eating the elephant one bite at a time.

2. Time Management

Time flies, especially when you have too much to do. So how can you get a grip of your time and fit more into your days? Well I have a really simple tip for you and that's to set a timer. There is nothing like a good old deadline to get your mind laser focused and your productivity gland working overtime. Use the timer on your phone or get a kitchen timer and set it for 20 or 30 minutes. Even 10 minutes if it's a small task that you just need to get done. Don't look at or touch anything else during that time until you've completed the job in hand. You will be amazed how much you can achieve working this way. Try it!

3. Direction

Getting by day-to-day is all very well but you'll be much more productive and much more motivated if you know where you're going. When I work with my VIP clients I get them to create a business vision that shows what they want their business and life to look like in, say five or 10 years. I ask them to consider how much money they want to be earning, how many hours they would like to be working and what they will do with their time off. So I'm challenging you to do the same. What does success look like to you? You can either tear up magazines and create a vision montage on a sheet of paper or use Pinterest. Whenever you have an 'off' day or you take a knock, look at your vision board and remember why you're doing this.
