Idea
Performance is often misunderstood. Performance isn’t about the amount of activity, it’s about getting the right end results.
In the modern world, so much is expected of us in a finite amount of time. We tend to have this skewed view of time that “there’s always tomorrow.” We often end up focusing on the to do list rather than the right end results.
To deliver amazing business results, yet with giving less effort, I recommend using The $1,000 Strategy.
There are only three categories of jobs that you will ever do. A job or task is either a $10 job, a $100 job, or a $1,000 job. To get amazing results, we need to be focusing on those $1,000 jobs as much as possible.
Action
You can apply this to every aspect of your life. The next time you sit down to do a job or task, ask yourself, “Which type of job is this? Is it $10? Is it $100? Is it $1,000?”
As you do this more and more, it will be start to become more clear each time where you should be devoting more of your time, and also where you should be delegating.
Remember, there will always be $10 jobs that you have to do. Now you can recognize which ones they are and prioritize getting back to doing $1,000 as soon as possible.
