Invest

Invest in yourself.  So where are you investing your time, work, and money?  Really think about it as “investing”.  If you’re investing in thinking about everything you don’t have, then you’re investing in the wrong area.

So, take a look at your dollars.  Where are they being invested? Are you investing in the right shelter, foods, time, work, and activities.  Then mark each as growing, building, developing, or sustaining.

You need to have a growing area.  This is revenue generating with future growth potential.  It might stay constant for a while, however, as you consistently do better there should be some growth or a growth spurt to open up more revenue.

You need a building area.  You can build on what is growing or on what is developing.  This is what you do.

You need a development area.  This is where an idea is fertilized.  As you proceed, a business or project goes through the stages from development to building to growing.  Regardless of what stage an idea or endeavor or project is in, you need your pipeline filled with at least one idea/endeavor or project in each of these three areas.

The fourth area, sustaining, is doing what sustains you to grow using mental routine(s), emotion, physical, and spiritual growth.

What’s growing (this is what’s working)?

What sustains you to grow using mental routine(s), emotion, physical, and spiritual growth?

Make sure you have assets to show for areas you are growing, building, developing, and sustaining.  No matter what happens, these assets give you a foundation to consistently do better.  Make sure you express them in a positive way aligned with your next initiative(s), endeavor(s), or project(s).

This week we’ll apply the entrepreneurial leadership learning to the importance of your money.

Entrepreneurial Leadership Tool #1:

Entrepreneurial Success =

(Time (1 or 0) + Work (1 or 0) + Money (1 or 0)) x Probability (1, .5, or 0) 

Work (1 or 0)

In 2017 where are you investing your work?  To maximize work you want to do work that is meaningful, has value, and is important to you.  This includes work that has value in your business, professional association(s) member volunteer work, community volunteer and advocacy work, home project(s), and faith-based volunteer work.  To reiterate, it should be meaningful to you, has value, and is important to you.  This doesn’t mean it needs to be work your family or friends want to do.  It’s work you want to do.  In the Entrepreneurial Success Formula work has a value of “1” (has value to the company) or “0” (no value to the company).

Time (1 or 0)

In 2017 where are you investing your time?  You want to maximize your time.  This has the most value to you in living your great dreams, goals, vision, and mission.  The best way to maximize your time is to prepare.

Do you attend a meeting by preparing?  This is the number one reason one person does business with you versus with another person.

Do you schedule an in-person meeting when a meeting isn’t wanted?

Do you schedule a conference call when an in-person meeting is wanted?

Do you return a phone call or reply to an e-mail?

As a humanitarian and citizen, maximizing your time gives you the time to do community volunteer and advocacy work.

Put your criteria to determine the best approach for you and the other party.  Just because you or they want it doesn’t mean it’s the best approach.  Only, do what adds value for the both of you.  Next week, we’ll apply the entrepreneurial leadership learning to the importance of your work.  In the Entrepreneurial Success Formula time has a value of “1” (can be done in a timely manner/worth the time) or “0” (time prohibitive).
