Listen "Reflection And Self-Honesty"
Episode Synopsis
You can wake up 2,3, or 5 years down the line and wonder what has happened and where the time went. This is particularly common to driven personalities and entrepreneurs who are immersed in their work, have a strong inner compass, determined action takers and some might say obsessed.
Neil explains an easy method for how you can avoid this from happening.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Check your progress every couple of months. A good way to do this is to have accountability days every month to check the performance of the business and work on the next acquisition or deal.
Spend the whole of that day examining your business – get away from your desk and turn the phone off. If it’s urgent they’ll call back
Make a date with yourself to do this regularly – in your diary – don’t let anything shunt it off your schedule, because it matters too much to let it slide.
When you’ve done your reflection analysis – make your plans to implement what you noticed about your business.
Do it, and see how you get on – I’m pretty certain that you’ll have an “A-ha!” moment or six when you do the work and get honest with yourself – I know I did!
BEST MOMENTS
‘Planning and reflection works’
‘Bottom line is that this stuff works.’
