CEO…Chief Everything Officer or
Chief Executive Officer; Are you working in your business or ON your business? Almost
every day I ask myself this question as I get to the office early and leave
late, first in, last out mentality. Do I get up for another cup of coffee or
send someone else while I finish a task actually making me money? Is the gossip
at the water cooler worth the 15 minutes and (most importantly) productive?
Time management is important for goals, deadlines and priorities need to
be set. Boundaries for how much TV watching, talking with friends and window
shopping can be determined so more time can be devoted to positive projects and
not time wasters. As we all know, even the richest people only get 24 hours in
a day to be successful.
The
next time you are out playing a game on your cell phone, ask yourself, “is
there something else I should be doing?” If the answer is yes, stop and take
the correct actions to reach your goals. If you don’t have goals, put a slot of
time into your day to think and daydream about the person you want to be. This
can be for personal, work or whatever else you feel is necessary to make you
smile at the end of the day. Because waking up knowing you are a better person
can help you stay motivated to accomplish even more as the CEO, even if it
means you are the Everything Officer.
