Here’s the cold, hard truth: you are either in control of your business/life/relationships, or they control you.
Despite existing in a time period where the most sophisticated technology is at our fingertips, many people are finding they are controlled in their day-to-day lives by constant distractions, obscure inefficiencies, outdated processes, and other people’s demands. You may feel like you are doing far more “doing” than “living.” This can send almost anyone into a downward spiral of feeling overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, or emotionally immobilised.
Focus on optimization to bring back meaning.
Optimise, automate, outsource everything in your business.
Implementing the most effective use of all your systems is one of the best investments you can make as a human being in modern-day society. If you always seek to improve your use of time, intellect, and people, you will find yourself far ahead of those who settle for “that’s just how we do things around here.” What's more, you make space for meaningful use of that time, intellect and people that matter most (if used wisely).
And although optimization is a key component, it is just one of the pillars that contribute to a fully engaged, productive process of being. Figure out how to optimise, automate and outsource whatever your business requires to function. This makes way for you (and those you collaborate and work with) to work on what you love, and work on what matters most.
This way of work feels different. Almost like a cleansing process. An eye opening way to get back to what you love doing by finding better ways to free up your most valuable resources: time, intellect and people.
Get your mind right and success will follow.
