We wake up in the morning. Stumble into the shower, have a shave (legs or face), wash our hair. We put on deodorant, brush our teeth, and head off to work.
We work all day.
We return home. We go to the gym or for a jog, return and shower again. Cook dinner, do the washing, tidy up the house, do the dishes, wipe down the sinks.
These are our daily tasks. Simple things which just become part of the fabric of living daily. They’re about hygiene and health.
Our business also requires daily hygiene tasks. Tasks which must happen on a daily basis: Paying invoices, managing cashflow, ordering stock, doing paperwork, answering emails, returning phone calls, talking with employees and customers, planning our day, reading industry related information…… ‘business hygiene’ tasks.
Business hygiene tasks are not game winners, but they keep us alive in a business sense. Forget these and our business can catch some terrible diseases, maybe kill it.
The best approach is to get them into a routine we perform on autopilot. Just like brushing our teeth. Then we can focus on the fun stuff.
Stephen: you are a freaking genius. Serious man.If you ever come down to Dallas, lets hang out . So much to talk . Hahahaha
You are not just talking hygiene, your talking Freedom Business System. If I know exactly where everything is in my business, how it works and have a defined step-by-step process, then I’m not needed IN that business anymore and I can work ON it, to grow it, sell it, or whatever.
And definitely THAT’s the fun stuff.
