Simplify Your Business in Three Easy Steps
This month I've been listening to a book called "Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller".
A biography on one of history's greatest businessman. The
creator of Standard Oil and
the world's first billionaire.
I've been listening to this book during my daily walks and
it's been a fascinating journey
through one of America's most interesting characters. And
while his business life was no doubt
intriguing (and often highly controversial)...
I was even more fascinated by his personal habits. Overall, Mr. Rockefeller lived a simple life.
Rising early in the morning. Always eating a healthy, simple
diet. And exercising daily.
His life was full of simple, daily habits. In fact, from a
young age - Rockefeller kept
a ledger of all his daily expenses.
This gave him an edge early on in his oil career. As many
other companies kept such poor accounting
books that they didn't even know whether or no they were
earning a profit or a loss.
John D. on the other hand, knew his profit numbers and
expenses down to the very last
penny. He always arrived at work with clock-like precision
at the same time every morning.
And he focused maniacally on the critical few tasks that
would grow his business on an
exponential scale.
It's these simple, but rigorous HABITS that I believe most
contributed to his success.
You don't need to do 100 things per day. Or even 10 things
per day for that matter.
Instead...
You must LASER-FOCUS on the critical few. For us...
Those few high-leverage activities include:
* Connecting with Social Sites.
* Getting highly-targeted traffic.
* Adding value to our existing site :)
* Adding value to our existing site :)
These 3 simple habits will allow you to grow a six or even
seven figure business.
That doesn't mean that it's easy. But once you are addicted
to these habits it would be
much easier to repeat.
Focusing relentlessly on a critical few (high-leverage) tasks that have made the biggest impact.
