Expanding your business

Persuasion is necessary
Providing information to your client does not necessarily make them change their behavior. Explain the risks of not changing, provide the benefits of changing, and then give them the tools, techniques and methods they need in order to change.

80% Rule of Delegation
If someone else can do a task 80% as well as you can, let them do it.

 

Time on your side

Simplify the tasks
The more steps there are in any task or procedure, the more complicated it becomes and the greater the chance of error. It will also increase the amount of time consumed and as well as the cost. “Keep it simple” should be your motto.

Work on priorities
Good advice from the book, Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy: “You can get your time and your life under control only to the degree to which you discontinue lower value activities.”
