Jack Canfield's 3-step process cuts through scattered work: list everything you do, keep only the 1-3 activities you're brilliant at and that make money, and delegate the rest. Most entrepreneurs waste time on low-payoff tasks they could hand off.

Hi there, Jack Canfield here.
And today I want to talk to you about a problem that plagues many.
Entrepreneurs and successful individuals, and that is.
The lack of focus. Anyone who is successful knows that at.
Any given point there are about a.
Hundred different activities you could or should be working on.
And the key to getting the most benefit and bang for your buck out.
Of the time is to prioritize those.
Tasks and and only focus on the.
Ones that will yield the greatest results and propel you towards your goals the fastest.
In addition to prioritizing the tasks that will yield the greatest results, you also.
Want to focus your time and energy on doing the things that you are.
Truly brilliant at, because these are typically.
The ones that will also reap the biggest rewards.
Now, to help you clarify what you should be spending your time on and what you should be delegating to others, I encourage you to do the following exercise. Your goal is to find the top one or two or three activities that.
Best use your core genius, bring you.
The most money, and produce the greatest level of enjoyment.
The first step is to start by.
Listing all those activities that occupy your time, whether they're business related, personal or.
Related to your civic organizations or volunteer work.
List even small tasks such as replying.
To emails or returning phone calls or washing dishes.
Next, choose from this list those 1.
2 or 3 things you are particularly brilliant at.
Your special and unique talents.
Those things very few other people can do as well as you.
And also choose from this list the.
Three activities that generate the most income for you or your company. Any activities that you're brilliant at and generate the most income for you or your company are the activities where you.
Want to focus the most time and energy.
And then finally, create a plan for delegating everything else to other people.
Now delegating takes time, training and patience.
But over time you can keep chipping away at the low payoff non essential.
Tasks on your list until you're doing less and less of those and more.
And more of what you're really good at. That is how you create a brilliant career. Now here's your homework to complete after watching this video.
Create a list of all the activities that occupy your time. Then choose three things from that list that you're brilliant at. Then delegate at least one thing from.
The remaining list to someone else today. And then tomorrow delegate one more thing to someone else.
And do this every day until you.
Are only working on the tasks that.
You do best and that produce the most results.
And remember to leave a comment below.
And share one task that you are.
Truly brilliant at, whether it be in.
Your personal or your professional life, and.
Share one task you're going to delegate today.
