Lead More Work Less

Let’s face it people like to be led, the problem is most leaders can suffer from the same lack of control over their focus as most members of their team. When we think about building a successful business the image of spending more time coaching and training team members is not the first thing that comes to mind. However, it is one of the most essential things to do for your business.

Here are some simple steps to leveraging your time and having a motivate team.

Step 1: Build or find the system first, you want to have a system that can be replicated by anyone as it allows you effort to be transferred to everyone without little effort on your part. If you have to go back and teach everyone the same thing over and over again that is time that could be sent growing your business.

Step 2: Use the system. I know this seems like common sense but it is a fact that people tend to get excited about something use it for 2 weeks and assume it did not work when they do not see immediate results. I know people have seen or heard stories about people generating 1,000s of leads overnight, but the reality is that is not reality. Take your time be methodical nurture the business effort like you would a garden. You would not plant a tomato plant then run outside the next day and expect to see tomato plants.

Step 3: Teach your team how to duplicate your effort. Most people fear this as it implies giving up some secret. Let me let you in on a little secret when it comes to web marketing “There Are No Secrets”. Showing your team how to duplicate your efforts leverages your efforts and frees up time for you.

Step 4: This is really a part of step 1 but I wanted to make sure the people who read this entire post where rewarded. The idea that you have to pay a lot for a system on the web is a dead one. In fact if you cannot monetize the system meaning charge a small fee to duplicate it then all of your efforts will come out of your pocket vs. outing money in your pocket.

So there it is in a nutshell. If you want to see an example of system that is both automated and able to be duplicated visit www.mybusinessofzen.com . Remember while you have to put time into your business make sure your time is spent doing the things that generate business.
