Today, we are talking about Tip #3 to increase the productivity of your business which is to: Delegate appropriately.

If you cannot delegate, you cannot increase productivity. Period. The key to increasing productivity is realizing where your time is best spent. Where your assistant’s or team’s time is spent matters as well. When you can delegate the right tasks to the right person, your business will operate without a hitch. However, hang on to tasks you should have let go of long ago, and you stagnate your success. When you need a task completed, look to the personality and experience of your team in order to decide which employee would be best suited for the task.

There may be times when there is no one on your team who has the experience needed to complete a task productively and effectively. In that case, consider hiring a freelancer. If you need website copy or a sales letter, contact a professional freelance copywriter. If you need a website, logo design or branding for your company, hire a freelance graphic designer. Hiring freelancers is often one of the most efficient methods of delegation. Experienced freelancers won’t need handholding; they’ll have the knowledge and industry experience to get the task accomplished without pestering you. You also have the benefit of not having to pay taxes and benefits that you would have to pay to a “regular” employee.

Today, we are talking about Tip #2 to increase the productivity of your business which is to: Work each day with a To-Do List.

I prefer to call this list a Prioritized Action List because everything should be in priority order all the time. Since most people call this list a TO DO List, we will use this label.

Creating a to-do list is one of the most efficient ways to increase the productivity of your business. Crafting a detailed to-do list for you and your team will help them comprehend exactly what is expected of them each day. This will motivate them to complete the tasks they’ve been given with the greatest efficiency and effectiveness. If your assistant or team is known for procrastinating, this is an especially effective tool for encouraging them to stay focused. When you don’t leave wiggle room for lollygagging, you’ll have one heck of a productive team.

Customize each To-Do List to each team member, so that each team member can be held directly accountable for their actions. Encourage a team atmosphere, but convey there are consequences individually as well as collaboratively for tasks left incomplete. You may use their individual performance to establish performance merits, to encourage efficient team productivity. Say for instance, you establish a goal that if the team can drive X number of dollars in revenue within 30 days, you will treat them to a nice dinner, gift certificate to an online store, or shopping spree worth $100 at their favorite store.

Every business owner is on the lookout for effective ways to increase productivity for their team. The reality is that business owners and employees are ineffective and unproductive probably more often than they think. The key is to reduce lost hours and wasted manpower. We are going to explore 4 ways you can take an active approach to increasing the efficiency and productivity of your business.

Productivity Tip #1: Lead by example. If you are a business owner, you must absolutely be held to the highest standard. If you work directly with an assistant or team of employees, you should always lead by example.

Show them how you’d like them to manage their productivity by being a master of productivity yourself; it’s unfair to have unrealistic expectations of your team when you don’t uphold yourself to the same standards. As a business owner, it’s important to reserve your “play” time to designated times of play and/or out of sight of your team. When you put an end to income-blocking procrastination and time-wasting, you’ll soon see your team following the admirable example set by you.

If you’re a habitual procrastinator or have trouble focusing on productivity, you would serve yourself and your business well by hiring an accountability coach. An accountability coach will show you several effective ways to increase productivity in your business - and hold you accountable for your actions, as well as your results. When you are asked to explain to your accountability coach why you didn’t achieve the task at hand because you chose to watch T.V, it won’t feel comfortable to be put on the hot seat by your coach.

Over the next 3 days we will be exploring 3 more ways to increase the productivity of your business, so tune in tomorrow.
