How Millionaire Moms Shorten Their Work Day and How To Supercharge Your Life

Here is my millionaire mom way of doing business. You have seen in earlier posts that I like to do what I like to do when I like to do it… like taking the afternoon to go bike riding with my son. So how do I get as much done as I do? It’s simple really. It’s called laser focus.

Each evening before I go to bed I do a “mind dump” on a pad of paper where I list everything that has to be done. Of course, that list is always way too long and involves work, family, house, friends, volunteering, etc.

Next, I pick the top three items that will be my priority for the day. How do I determine priority? If my “to do’s” involve the kids, then that is my first priority. Did I volunteer to read in the classroom that day? Is there a doctor’s appointment? The day is structured around these kinds of activities.

Next, I choose the three activities that will “move the ball forward” the fastest. In general, that equates to “What steps, if I take them today, will put cash in my pocket?” It’s really not that complicated and actually simplifies your life. It is called the “Pareto Principle” or the 80/20 rule. 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.

I have found this to be true. If you do the 20% activities on a daily basis you will leap frog your business. Ignore the pesky 80%. They are always going to be there. Sometimes I take this a little far, for instance when I picked up my home phone and it no longer worked because I forgot to pay the bill!! Oops. Still, I’d rather have to pay a late fee occasionally then stop my powerhouse output.

Try this out for a week and see what result you get. Remember, it’s the top three actions that will move you forward in your business, your weight loss goals, your relationships…whatever your current priority is. For me, that is getting the word out to entrepreneurial moms that there is a home away from home for them at www.MillionaireMom.com!
