Are you thinking about your long-term goals for your business? Or are you spending most of your time fighting fires and tracking your daily tasks.
As a business owner and leader, it’s critical that you spend at least 20 percent of your time on the ‘long view.’
One of the core reasons to have a team and as staff is to delegate the vast majority of the ‘doing’ in your business to them so that you can lead the company forward.
Ask yourself:
“What percent of my time this week is on the long view for my business?”
If you’re spending less than 8 hours a week exploring the path to your 5-year goals, you’re not used to taking that long-view. Take out your calendar and put 4 or more hours on each of the next weeks for research, thinking, conversations with others that are not about fixing the daily challenges your business is facing.
