Who Feeds Your Children? Who Can Feed Your Children?
I have business executives asking me all the time about time management and priorities. As a business executive myself, believe me when I tell you that this is something I am working on as well.
Having said that, here is how I try to prioritize my to do list on a daily basis.
FIRST: Take care of everyone that feeds you and your children. (existing clients and customers)
SECOND: Take care of everyone that can potentially feed you and your children. (sales and prospects)
THIRD: Everything else.
Don’t have children? Substitute with anything or anyone that is of great value to you.
Can’t get to everything else? Delegate or pay someone to do everything else for you.
