Be An Intrepid Marketer – Recommendation No. 15
You don’t need me to tell you that you have to have a written plan. It’s been said time and again.
You also don’t need me to tell you that you should take a few minutes the night before and sketch out tomorrow’s “To Do” list and work flow schedule.
But I will anyway.
These simple tasks make all the difference in having a productive day. And it seems that too many people aren’t making the necessary time to plan their day and thus, improve their efficiency.
Here is what I do: I run my own production meeting.
I go through each client project, and determine the key next step to move the project forward. I then determine who is responsible for that key step. Me? A vendor? The client?
Once I determine which steps are critical to move forward – and then achieve understanding of who is responsible to get it done – I add the item to my “To Do” list – and then do whatever it takes to see the task completed. I will even prioritize these items – usually by order of greatest impact – I don’t mind admitting – to my cash flow.
If I do this for each client project – each day. I have made significant progress in keeping my projects moving forward. Do this EVERY day – and you will be able to achieve a great many things.
What is your system?
