Most fitness business owners ‘firefight’ their way through the day.
Certainly the guys that are struggling to grow their biz.
There is a bit of structure there – eg sessions.
But other than that they have a huge list of things noted down that they promise themselves to battle through
but
then let themselves become distracted by ‘phone calls ‘ FB messages , emails , whatsapp messages etc
Then fast-forward to the end of the week and the that ‘To Do List’ looks pretty much the same.
WTF????
So simple to solve as well.
But here’s the interesting thing……..
Most guys don’t want to solve it.
They love the ‘hustle’ and the ‘grind’ and that feeling of ‘busy, busy’
And of course they are ‘addicted’ to the ‘notification’ culture that has been created over the past few years.
PING – email has arrived
PING – someone has just completed an application form
PING – new message on messenger
RING – someone is calling me
Emojis everywhere.
RED notification warnings.
You might as well be in the middle of the Belagio casino in Vegas. You know the place where there are no clocks, special lighting and supposedly extra oxygen pumped into the air whilst all of those fruit machines are ‘pinging’ and dice are rolling and people are cheering – TO KEEP YOU THERE>
If you fall into this category, then you’re being controlled.
And you’re not being productive
And your business is not fulfilling it’s potential.
And you’re not earning as much money as you could be.
And you’re not sleeping as well as you should be.
And you’re not spending quality time with your friends and family.
GET A GRIP.
TAKE BACK CONTROL.
TURN YOUR NOTIFICATIONS THE FUCK OFF
Schedule 2 times per day to check in on emails / messages and phone calls.
Schedule once per day [60-90 mins] to focus on marketing 100%
Schedule once per day [30-60 mins] of Thinking time – where you write down the most pressing issue in your biz right now and come up with solutions.
Schedule one per day [20-30 mins] to look at your yearly / quarterly / monthly / weekly goals and check whether you’re on track and prioritise decisions accordingly.
Schedule once per week [60-90 mins] to analyse your numbers in detail and then make decisions.
Do the above for just 1 week and watch your productivity increase significantly.
