better superhero

What next?

You’ve got your trusty sidekick and

you’re now part of a dynamic

duo…

First Priority

Look at the time you’ve saved yourself by

partnering up. Guard this time religiously!

Go back to the homework you did in

Episode 1 of this series

“Every Super Hero Needs a Good Sidekick”

If it used to take you 2 hours each day to

respond to emails and is now taking you half an

hour, block out the 1 1/2 hours in your calendar

and from that let’s do some planning…

You now have your sidekick to help you work through these tasks!

Try using the SMART goal system to help you achieve your super hero’ness

Get SMART

S specific

M measurable

A attainable

R relevant to the overall vision and mission of the business

T include a timeframe for completion

Constantly monitor how you are tracking on your goals

By doing this you can then break down your to-do list into easy to manage,

prioritised tasks

Identify the tasks only you can do and slot these into your one and a half

hour time slots blocked out in your calendar

This included resources needed, time, tools, manpower and

for a few of them, just a change in work habits

Super Hero AnticsAs an example, at the end of the week I pulled out my

notebook and wrote down my five biggest pain points

I worked through 3 of these, noting down what I need to do

to resolve these pain points

Set aside that time to stop, think and solve in order to make your business a better one and

you a happier hero!

These will be the basis of 5 new SMART goals

Achieving these will make me a pretty kick-ass super hero!
