In the old days, it was well accepted that if you worked hard, you could succeed in business. Whether you were farming, building houses or installing mufflers, working hard was the key to success. As time has marched on, the world now moves at a much faster pace than it used to. Now, it is necessary to move quickly and adapt to the ever-changing world of business. There is so much to do and learn in order to get ahead, it is tempting to work faster and faster to get where you need to be.
While you can get more done when you work faster, there is also a danger: the less time you spend on a task, the less effort you are able to put into it. If you read a book or magazine article in half the time it takes most people to read it, you are really only skimming the words, grasping a few of the concepts rather than getting a deeper understanding. It is the same with any task you complete when you are rushing through it. The critical thinking you might otherwise have put into the task if you spent more time on it, finding ways to make it better, will suffer. You may accomplish the task accurately, but you will not improve on it. Your business will suffer as well. It may not fail, but can it grow to its full potential if you are skimming your way through the day? In order to succeed in business, you cannot skim your way through it.
Work better, not faster
Face it: running through your day, skimming through each task, is stressful. You feel as though you have a never-ending stack of tasks you need to accomplish and you are not doing the best job you can on any of them. If this is happening to you, you need to reevaluate what you are doing in order for your business to succeed.
At the end of each day, look back on everything you did that day. What did you really accomplish? Beyond just completing the tasks you set for yourself, what good did it do for your business? Just because you did a lot of things does not mean you will succeed in moving your business forward.
Examine each of your tasks and determine what the true purpose is. If you are doing anything that is not required to run your business and make it grow, decide whether it really needs to be done, or if you are the one who really needs to do it. You may decide that there are tasks you can eliminate or assign to someone else so you can spend more quality time on the remaining tasks you absolutely must do. In this way, you can work slower and better instead of faster, and you will be able to succeed in business without the stress.
