This is one of my weekly M.A.D. Moments that might be of interest to all you hard working IFAs.
What does your work and business mean to you?
- Do you enjoy the work/job that you do?
- How many hours do you spend at work - would you like to spend less?
- Do you work with people who respect and support you?
- What would you really like to doing if you weren't doing your current job/business?
Do you live to work or work to live? As we spend approximately 50% of your waking hours at work - or possibly more if you work for yourself, you might as well enjoy it and make the most of the time you spend there, so that you actually get to spend more time on other areas of your life.
If you want to try something different, think about what it is you'd like to change. Do you need to work smarter not harder? Perhaps you can delegate the tasks you don't enjoy or aren't so good at to someone else, either within your team or think about employing someone else to do them.
Action:
What difference could you make to your work or business this week?
- Where could you make improvements to your business? Take a look at your office - do you have the systems and resources in place to support you? Take a look at your time - are you organised, do you spend the time as you wish, are you enjoying what you're doing? If you want to take your business up a gear - get yourself a mentor, someone your respect who's where you want to be or who's done what you want to do.
- What does work mean to you? What do you value, need, want? How important is it in your life? What are the things you're good at, what sort of work do you like to do? Sometimes living from day to day is fine but it helps if you have a plan in mind. Where do you want to be a year from now, three years from now? Set a goal "Next year, I want to be doing …..". Then set some specific steps to get you there.
This week take a look at what's working and what's not and take steps towards making a difference.
