Do you know anyone who works 50 hours + a week? I’ve worked with many executives that think nothing of working 50, 60 or even 70 hours a week! Personally I think they are mad. Don’t get me wrong, I love my work; I just love my non-work time more. But this is not really the point. The point is, if you are working 50 hours a week is it because you think you must work this long to achieve the outcomes you seek? Or is it because you just want to be there for 50 hours a week? If it is because of the former, here’s a question for you… “When looking at all the things you do in that week, are you the only one capable of doing them or could you be delegating more of them?” In real simple terms, are you spending so much time working IN the business that there simply is no time to work ON the business?

Does this describe you? If so, think for a minute how much more expanded your mind would be, how much more elevated your business would be and how much more enriched your life would be if you only did the things that contributed in these three areas. Are you implementing low-level operational pursuits at the cost of the high leverage strategy?

The adage “don’t sweat the small stuff” comes to mind. The real value in making your life ‘burn’ with enrichment is in the stuff you do well and gives you the greatest return on your efforts. Chances are, that’s not photocopying your strategy documents!
