Episode 169: Planning YOUR Plan

“Time is the great equalizer, and you will never be able to get back the time that you lost; that you wasted.”

I am always looking for ways to improve my productivity and make the most of my time. Recently, I came across the idea of using a “Planning My Plan” sheet to help me stay on track and make the most of my time each day. This sheet has helped me to focus on my top priorities, reach out to the people I need to, and stay accountable to my goals. Listen as we take a closer look at this tool and its benefits to anyone who is looking to make the most of their time and achieve their goals.

Key Takeaways:

  • You become successful in achieving great accomplishments because you stay focused, stay on plan, and stick to where you’re going.
  • By not making the greatest time choices, you are probably facing a lack of impact on those around you professionally and personally.
  • Your top ‘must dos’ on your list should be the high-impact things that only you can do as a business leader.
  • According to the Pareto principle, people should focus on the things that fulfill and give them purpose and are most profitable based on what they do.
  • Don’t get distracted by the agenda of others but stay focused on the impact your daily plan is making.

Episode 161: Accountability Breeds Responsibility

At UPP we coach leaders through the skills of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, training, motivation, and one of the most important skills, accountability. When you have accountability, you have responsibility. I am going to focus mainly on personal accountability; however, you can take these strategies that I am going to give you and build them for your team and organizational accountability as well.

Key Takeaways:

  • When you build accountability into your world and into your life, into your daily habits, it will change everything for you forever
  • There are no limits. The only limitations that you have are those that you make for yourself in your mind and this self-accountability will help you reach beyond that.
  • Find an Accountability Partner to help you stay focused on being accountable for what you set out to do and what you said you were going to do
  • Set three top goals for the day, the week, the month, and the quarter and make them all interrelated.
  • An Accountably Partner should be as committed as you are, 100% willing to do the work, and 100% trustworthy.
