Offense = the action of attacking someone or something
Once the why and how are created (Leadership Matters) and the plans and assignments are clear (Focus Matters), it is time to take massive action. Don’t let any of these obstacles become excuses for your new breakthrough potential.
- Lack of Structure: We worked with a 2nd generation business owner of a $45MM family business. I asked this young CEO how she knows what to work on every day, she responded, ‘It just comes at me.’ It wasn’t working at all. Offense requires disciplined routines, meetings, and time management to maintain the attack.
- Hiding in the wrong work: I lived with 5 men in a townhouse my senior year in college. The only week our house was clean, you guessed it, final exam week. SMB owners, we do this too. We hide in the work that is easiest for us, that we like to do, that others could easily be doing. Leaving the most critical, breakthrough worthy tasks for ‘tomorrow.’
- Interruption Victims: We let our phone, inbox, social media, and team control our time and attention. There is no such thing as multitasking, our brains can’t do two things at once. Schedule protected time daily to attack your high payoff, high value work.
