Value your time as an entrepreneur

As entrepreneurs, how many times a day do we wish we could stretch the number of hours we have at our disposal to get things done, both in our business and our personal lives? Probably more than we think, as it’s a continual challenge. Yet, it doesn’t have to be like that, all it takes is a change of mindset. The trick is to know how to value our personal time, how to categorize low and high value tasks, and then how to delegate all those low value tasks to other people, freeing us to focus on what really matters. Sounds simple doesn’t it? So why is it that so many entrepreneurs still battle this concept when it comes to putting it into practice. The thing to remember is that all the time we are spending focusing on the low value tasks is sapping our creative energy and not actually contributing to building our businesses or enhancing our lives. It’s all about optimizing our time, making sure that the hours given to the business are high value hours, with maximum outputs. Success comes from knowing when and how to delegate to others, ensuring that efforts to realize the big vision for the business are what we personally need to focus our quality and precious time on.
