Business
‘Success is predictable because people who have kept things simple and done the basics will repeat their systems and methods.’ In this episode of Leadership revealed John provides and explains reason why doing the small, basic things consistently can have a positive effect on your business. He also gives tips on how important staying on track is and how planning can help you do this. KEY TAKEAWAYS Things may seem difficult if you’re trying to build a business in an industry that you’re not familiar in so ensure you’re in a field that you’re either researched thoroughly or you already know well. Don’t try and change the industry but try to do the simple things that work well to a high standard then repeat. Don’t get distracted from things that stray away from your businesses core tasks. Even if there are new things that are ‘the next big thing but are too good to be true’, it’s likely that they’re too good to be true so stay on track. You must have a plan, short term and long term. It’s good to have a daily plan, weekly plan and yearly plan to get the things you need to do done. If you don’t know what your end goal is then how do you know where you want to get or what you’re doing? Surround yourself with the best people you can as early as you can so that you can get to the next level as quickly as possible. Be around people who are more successful than you. This doesn’t mean drop your friends. Look to improve everything you do 24/7 by innovating. This doesn’t mean create something new every time but look improve what you’re doing constantly. This could be adding things like new technology. Become the authority in your field as it attracts new opportunities however be careful not to get distracted by things that will make you stray from your end vision. Do the little things consistently everyday and make a habit of it. This could be things such as breaking bad habits or starting positive ones. BEST MOMENTS ‘Keep business simple’ ‘Do the basics but do them well’ ‘Have a plan to motivate you to do what you need to get done completed’. ‘Be more efficient so you can be more effective’. ‘If you’re the cleverest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Leadership Revealed Podcast ABOUT THE HOST John has several Estate and letting agents in the North East of England.
