BRX Pro Tip: What to Stop Doing
Stone Payton: Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, you and I, both probably not unlike other people who run organizations, spend a lot of time on figuring out what we should be doing next. But there’s also some wisdom in getting a handle on what maybe we should stop doing.
Lee Kantor: Yeah, it’s important to audit all the activities that you have going on, because just because something was a good idea, you know, back in the day, it doesn’t mean it’s still a good idea today. So, it’s important to do some sort of an audit on a regular basis so that you know what activities you can stop doing. And that, as you said, is just as powerful as knowing what activities to start doing.
Lee Kantor: So, if something is not moving you closer to your goal, to your true north, and it’s distracting you from it, you should stop that. I mean, that’s why auditing your habits, your meetings, your to-do lists through the simple filter of, is this creating positive momentum or is it just creating busywork? Positive momentum expands and compounds. Busywork is just keeping you busy. It’s not really moving the ball.
Lee Kantor: So, it’s important to stop. What is the busywork that’s really not serving you anymore, and double down on the activities that are. That’s what progress is. That’s where the growth can really take off.
