Ok to Be Rich Using Quickbooks – Volume 17: 4 Aces on Getting Rich Ace No. 2 %u2013 Take Action Everyday

This is KC Truby, Lonesome Cowboy! Here is ace number two-take action everyday. I’m not much of a time management person. I don’t believe in a to-do list. To-do list never gets to be done and that spells too much trouble for me. I’m a thinker, and that’s my job. I’m supposed to be innovating, and building relationships and a better, faster and cheaper business. I’m not supposed to have a list of to-do’s and tasks, since I can get people to work on it. But I do want to make three accomplishments everyday. So, the last thing I do before I go home at night is to write down on a little piece of paper right on my desk the three major accomplishments that I want to get done tomorrow. Those three major accomplishments are just what I focus on, and calling Bob to collect money is not one of them because that’s something that can be delegated. I only want to accomplish tasks that nobody else can do but me. That’s why I want to focus on my time now.

There’s something else I want to tell you about getting things done when you have a job that comes in, let’s say you realize you can run some ads in a pay per click on Google to get more traffic to your website and generate more sales leads. This just happened to me, but I don’t have anybody with the right sets of skills and I don’t have a design to learn it. I skinned the book until I found a flowchart and checklist which I simply wrote down on a piece of paper and posted on Craigslist under freelance. It said, “Who can do this job for us and how much do you want?” And then the next couple of days, I got hundreds of applications. People said, “I know this. I can do it for two to three hours a day. I will charge you for twelve, fifteen or twenty dollars an hour, and I’ll do all these for you.” And I said, “My goodness! Isn’t that a bargain?” I can get the best of what somebody knows and they will just work for me part-time for only fifteen dollars an hour and no overhead.

That’s how we get things done, and that’s what I think you ought to do. So, ace number two is take actions everyday for the three most important accomplishments that nobody else can do. And when other tasks come in, write them down on a checklist and shout them out. See who else can do them. The number one reason we don’t get things done when we hear really good ideas is we never get to them. Many of us go to seminars with all these good ideas but we never got to these ideas because we don’t have the labor available. Well, there are people looking for work part-time today and you can take advantage of them.
