Focus on Results Not on Tasks

Anyone who has read my Special Report "The 7 secrets to making Your Business thrive In Any Economy" or my E-Book "Power Squared: The Ultimate Entrepreneur Success System" would know that I am a planner, an organizer and efficient executer of business related tasks.

The key to being effective in the execution of your business tasks is to focus on the desired results of your project or endeavor and not to get bogged down in the smaller details. If you work backwards from the finish line, to the starting point, you often may find a faster and more efficent route to reach your goal.

For example, when developing a new process or procedure, we may ask ourselves "how do I make sure this widget is always used properly?" But in actuality, my real concern or objective is "to make sure this widget is used in this manner everytime". My real objective is to make sure everyone knows how to do it and produce the result?

You may be reading this and think I am splitting hairs and it is just semantics, but it reality it takes you down a different thought process and ensures that you are focusing on the results to develop the procedures. and not the procedures to develop the results.
