Time Management Is the Apex of Goal Setting for Business and Personal Success
Time Management Is the Apex of Goal Setting for Business and Personal Success
Let's step away the issue of time management for a moment to ask the following question: Why do I need to manage time? In my experiences as a small business coach, national facilitator and speaker, the responses that I have heard are many. Yet, I have never received the following answer: I need to manage time because of my written goals.
Consider, if you didn't have goals from being to work, meeting with clients or attending conferences, why would anyone care about time less along desire to manage time? HINT: Time management is an oxymoron as no one can manage a constant.
Possibly because many individuals do not connect their time management to their written goals this may help to explain why time management training is not sustainable. Many time management workshops focus on the standard learning objectives such as:
1.Identify the 3 D's (Do It, Delegate It, Dump It)
2.Differentiate between Must Do and Should Do
3.Understand urgent and important
4.Create a "To Do List"
5.Eliminate procrastination
Yet, very few seminars or on-site training integrate time management into goal planning and goal achievement. The W.H.Y. S.M.A.R.T. (Written, Habit Forming, Yours, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistically High and Time Driven) criteria for goal setting, clearly demonstrates the value of time because it is the last criterion.
Now imagine your time management system fully integrated and connected into your written goals.
1.Would you not experience more consistent success?
2.Would you not have a better handle on time because you have a better handle on your own self?
3.And, how would you feel seeing your successes grow?
To truly be a time management expert requires you to be a goal planner and goal achievement expert, because time management is the apex of goal setting for business and personal success.

Whether the industry is education, government, healthcare, manufacturing, not-for-profit or professional services, individuals on a daily basis make critical decisions based upon their available or not so available time.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
