Some days I leave the office and ask, "What did I do today?" The day starts early–usually around 6:00 am and continues until around 5:00pm. Most days, time goes by very fast – sometimes so fast it’s a blur. And at times when I try and replay the day it is difficult to say I did this or that.
I know there are a few things that I try and accomplish every day. I try and move the business forward. Try to see if anyone needs help. If anyone needs a set of eyes to review some tables, if anyone needs some assistance preparing a proposal, if anyone is too busy doing whatever and needs help making a client deadline. I am not suggesting that I am the person to help but I am saying that I can find someone to help.
Also I try and stay in touch with our clients and prospects. During this year I have made more of an effort to see and reach out to our clients.
I also try and look at things differently. Is there a better way to do this or that? Is there a more efficient way to accomplish something? This person appears to have some available time. How can they help another department?
In addition to those things, I also watch the bottom line. How are we doing financially? Where do we have wasted spending? Can we accomplish the same thing for less?
So when I review my day it looks something like this:
- Try and find ways to help the staff
- Stay in touch with our clients and prospects
- Try and find ways to do something better
- Watch the bottom line
That’s what I try and do every day.
What about you?
