How to Be Successful in Business in 2017
Hyper-Focus on Goals
“Entrepreneurs will need to develop skills that allow them to hyper-focus on their priorities rather than reacting to all the overwhelming inputs,” says Jeff Bussgang, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and former entrepreneur turned venture capitalist. He also says to “Distill your annual, quarterly, monthly and weekly objectives to three bullets each on a single printed page which you put on your desk. Remind yourself of that page every day.”
Focusing on becoming successful and constantly reminding yourself of priorities and goals might sound like obvious advice. However, many people just wait for something fantastic to happen. They never use their skills to learn more and develop. They refuse to work harder than the next guy. This isn't how successful people are made. It takes hard work, dedication, long hours, weekends and hyper-focusing.
Don't Mistake Activity for Productivity
In today's world, smart phones have taken over our lives. They're our phone line, phonebook, email access, and virtual encyclopedia to the world. Even more, computers and laptops are within reach all day at work. That means sneaking onto social media for a "break" or constantly checking emails can get in the way of real work. Many times, people complain about how much work has to be done in such a short amount of time. Those same people obsessively check Facebook, email or read all the latest news on their favorite news website. Consider cutting the time you spend doing these things down in 2017. Set goals throughout the day for getting as much work done as possible. Then, reward yourself with five minutes on Facebook or Pinterest. Don't even look at websites recreationally until you've reached your goal. You'll be amazed at how much more time you'll gain in a day. You'll also double your work productivity. Those who look busy don't always end up doing the most work.
