Doing Important Work - 63

Maintaining Focus and Doing the Things that are Important Time management is an area where most sales professionals struggle.  Everyone has the same number of hours in a day - 24.  What we do with these hours is up to us.  One way to make the most out of every day is to prioritize and execute.   This week on the Catalyst Sale Podcast we revisit the importance of doing the important things, and not falling into the trap of urgency driven by others.   Questions Addressed How do you work on what's "Important", not "Urgent"? When you ask others for something, do you set expectations? How often do you revisit your priorities? How do you keep track of success? Are you allowing yourself to be managed by others? Are you working toward your objectives or theirs? Key Takeaways Don't be a Washing Machine It's hard to say No, but you need to learn how to do this with grace or you will find your day consumed with the priorities of others Identify your spectrum of what's important to you.  (Mind, Body, Family, Work are the categories Simmons uses - Examples follow) Mind - Meditation Body - 90 minutes of activity per day Family - Relationships Work - Product Development Make the impact that only you can make Show Links Time Management Magic course by Lee Cockerell [email protected] Catalyst Sale Twitter LinkedIn Thank you Thank you for rating and reviewing the podcast via iTunes, Google Play, or your favorite podcast platform.  Ratings & reviews help others discover the podcast - thank you for helping us get our message out to the community.
