As an entrepreneur, we’re gifted with creativity. We create, it’s what we do. We add value to the marketplace. We are constantly thinking and scheming on new ways to help our core audience.
However, our gift is also our inhibitor. Because we flow with ideas constantly, this asset can become our liability because we are drawn in too many directions; Not allowing enough time to gain the needed traction to move forward in our business.
The result often times is overwhelm, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. It’s a bad place to be in, especially when you know your capabilities.
So how do you properly corral that creativity? How do you gain more certainty in all your actions so you continually move forward? How do you ensure you’re moving in the right direction in all your business efforts so you can accomplish the goals you set yourself?
The little big method
The little Big method is a simple framework to help you stay on track. The philosophy is to only engage in the ‘little’ actions (day to day actions) only if it’s derived from the Big actions (your core goals). Meaning, everything you do in a given day should move you closer to your core business goals. If the actions you’re doing do not put you closer (even if it’s nominal), then you DO NOT engage in those activities.
This simple framework eliminates confusion, helps you gain more clarity in all your efforts, and it makes you more productive all around. Remember this: If the actions you’re doing now do not put you closer to your core goals, then you should not be doing them. Period.
Put this method into practice immediately and start swiftly accomplishing your business goals.
