It Ain’t What you do…
Jun 11It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it
And that’s what gets results
It ain’t what you do it’s the time that you do it
It ain’t what you do it’s the time that you do it
It ain’t what you do it’s the time that you do it
And that’s what gets results
You can try hard don’t mean a thing
Take it easy and then your jive will swing
That’s right it’s pop quiz time again! Totally inspired by Mark Rhodes a speaker I heard lately. – I’m not sure about you but having your ‘Jive swinging’ certainly sounds like a good thing to me. Whether ‘taking it easy’ means you can achieve this, is another matter.
So what are you doing? And what results are you getting?
So we all know what we should be doing, and we all have the best intentions but we all have reasons (to put it politely) why we aren’t doing it. I believe the most common reasons given includes lack of time.
Are you able to identify actually what is eating into your time? If you can, can you change it? I believe the telephone is a big time waster. It eats into your day without you realising. It is changeable and can be really manageable.
In business time really is a key factor. We all have deadlines to keep and targets to meet.
A little ‘Did you Know’ for you – did you know that time is crucial with regards phone calls. A 2 hour time window of returning a phone call has been identified the closer to the start of the 2 hours means you are more likely to do business with that person or organisiation. If you think about that for a minute just consider how rapidly voice mail can become out of date. Then think about how often you check your voice mail…..
So how are you doing things? Can you change what you are doing and get different results? The ‘can do’ attitude is so important in business but it’s not only the ‘Can’ that is important it’s the ‘Do’ too. As well as the time you ‘Do’ it in.
Until next time
