It’s hard to change old habits, whether it’s the habit of opening the mail or the habit of always being in control. I counsel my clients to look at their goals, short and long term. Write them down and constantly look at your activities in light of your goals. Then ask , “Is this habit increasing my productivity? Does it get me closer to my goals? Or is it getting in my way and limiting me?” Every minute of every day you make choices to go closer to your goals or maintain something unproductive. If it’s difficult to be objective, get a different viewpoint from a business associate or friend or coach. In the words of Marshall Goldsmith, executive coach to top CEO’s, “What got you here won’t get you there.” You won’t get to the next level without changing yourself and the habits that limit you. You can change and any business owner that doesn’t take action to develop himself or herself professionally to change unproductive habits is making an obvious choice to stay the same.

Aren’t there times when money is just too tight to hire any help at all? Or is that time when you need help the most?

I always feel like allowing other people to do work that I can accomplish will lead to sub-par results. I can’t help it.

There a lot of things that I know I am not good or that are not a good use of my time. I am in the insurance business and the most valuable time I have to spend is in front of clients, prospecting for clients, and preparing to meet with clients.
There are certain habits I have which are not a good use of my time. For example, I have all my mail sent to the office and I open it personally. It’s not a good use of my time, and I should probably have one of my three assistants do it. I’m so used to doing it though, I can’t seem to break it as a habit.
