[[:encoded, “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. nnProductivity 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. nnShow 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. nnIf 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.nnIf you get value from these Podcasts, please take a minute to leave me a short review.
