Entrepreneurs wear so many hats… especially the solo business owner. Our days tend to be one endless task after another. We all start our businesses for a variety of reasons:

• Wanting to working from home,
• Set your own timetable
• Spend time with family and friends
• Knowing that the hard work you do is for your own company
• Quit climbing the so-called corporate ladder

It all comes down to lifestyle and often our jobs couldn’t or wouldn’t deliver the that lifestyle.

But somewhere along the line….you end up with a to-do list a mile long that never seems to get any shorter, no matter how many soccer games or nights-out-with-friends you miss No matter how hard you work, how many hours you put in, you never seen to get ahead.

Your business never seems to grow past a certain point and yet you can never quite seem to get a handle on that.

Time management in reality is activity management. How you manage your activities makes all the difference.

Only 20% of what you do will produce 80% of your results. I’m talking about Pareto’s 80-20 Rule… which goes against traditional time management methods.

The 80-20 Rule or Pareto’s Principle was discover by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. He noticed a natural imbalance that greatly effect everything in this world… your life… your business… everyday.

He noted that 20% of the worlds population enjoyed 80% of the wealth but soon discovered this law of nature appears everywhere.

Just think…. only 20% of what you do produces your desired results… the other 80%… may not count for much… waste of your time and efforts.

A Simple Time Management Strategy

Time management is simply the process of identifying and concentrating on activities that are important to you, and identifying and eliminating activities that can be dropped.

Traditional Time Management focuses on cramming and adding stuff into your day. It feeds the employee mentality need to always appear busy working hard at one’s ‘real’ job. Not a good idea for the solopreneur.

When a business experiences success, the owner starting drowning in the Multiplicity of Stuff Syndrome. The solopreneur really feels the effects of this syndrome. Not only are they the CEO (chief executive officer) of their business… they are also Chief Everything Officer.

They spend more and more of their time on that 80% that isn’t producing results or profits.

Adding the Blonde Factor to This Simple Time Management Strategy

Divide All Your Activities Into Four

1. high-profit activities
2. high-reward activities
3. low/no profit activities
4. low/no reward activities

20% of your time devote to the high profit/high reward activities - Working ON your business

80% of your time devote to the low-no profit/low-no reward activities - Working in your business

Following this strategy enables you to continue growing your business profits while dealing with day to day stuff of running your business.
