Kenny Chapman tells small-business leaders to stop counting activity and focus on high-impact work instead. Update pay plans, train on new option sheets, roll out service agreements. These big boulders turn into dollars.
Hey everybody, Kenny Chapman coming to you with this week's video version of Freedom Friday Focus, our weekly blog. And this week we're talking about things. And it's not about certain, you know, doing a bunch of things. It's about doing the right things. And that's what this week I really encourage you to focus on. We've had a lot of conversation with our clients and our mastermind groups and seeing that, you know, right now is when people kind of start getting jumbled up. The springs coming all over the states and, you know, there's a lot of inspection time coming up and you know, running more maintenance calls sometimes than actual broke fix calls. As much of the of the US And Canada anyway go through a little bit of shoulder season now. With that also comes all the implementation you want for the summer and you're ready to get rocking and rolling. And all of a sudden you find yourself as a leader, a manager, somebody that's guiding certain parts of the business. You're just so busy and you just get up in the morning and your day flies by and then all of a sudden you the clock, it's five, six, seven or eight o' clock at night and you're not even sure how this happened and how you got here. Now, you did a lot of things that day, you probably did a lot of things today. But here's the thing, it's not about things, right? How about that? It's not about things, it's about the right things. And I encourage you to look at the big boulders, the rocks that you need to move. Probably updating your Facebook profile or playing Angry Birds or Words with Friends might not be the best use of your time. If you're trying to craft a new pay plan, if you're trying to train on a new option sheet, if you're rolling a new service agreement program, all the big things that really drive our companies, I would encourage you to create a list, I would encourage you to prioritize that list. I would encourage you to look at the priorities that turn to dollars and cents quicker than anything else. There's some low hanging fruit in your organization, I'm sure of this. We're in so many companies all the time that we get to see this and that's what's good, is, you know it's there. Take a fresh look on Monday when you walk in and look at the big boulders that you can really impact. So as you do things, you know you're doing the right things. I'm Kenny Chapman, the blue collar coach coming to you with Freedom Friday Focus this week until we talk again. Have a better than fantastic week and I'll see you next time.
