INTRODUCTION
How to use the workbook
This workbook is divided into different sections. Each section consists of theory followed by practical exercises that need to be completed before moving to the next section. If you really want to see results, you need to work on the exercises and take the actions; reading the theory alone is not enough and won’t get you the results you want. I have decided to go deeper into some time management topics rather than just brush over many topics.
Please always contact me if anything isn’t clear, or if you are really struggling with a certain concept. I do offer a free 30 minute coaching session – you can apply for it by emailing me at info@topresultscoaching.com
Before you start
Starting your own business has many challenges because you have to start off wearing many hats as an entrepreneur. It is no surprise then that one of the most common challenges most aspiring entrepreneurs face, considering all you have to take on as an entrepreneur, is time management. How to effectively manage time is a voluntary skill that is learned. Nobody is born with these skills; the majority of people have shocking time management habits. Sadly, you may not be aware of just how much this lack of management undermines the results of your business and even impacts on your personal life.
When starting out, most entrepreneurs go from working a few hours to suddenly working 12 hour days, feeling overwhelmed, stressed out and exhausted too soon. The once clear line between the personal and work life becomes blurred. You didn’t become an entrepreneur to work 12 hour days; a clear benefit of being an entrepreneur is to be able to dictate your own working hours.
When you become an entrepreneur and you are in charge of your own time, the way you use your time is going to have a direct effect on the results that you see in your business and how much money you make. Remember, we all have 24 hours in a day, nobody has more hours, but some of us do achieve much more in a few days than the average worker does in a week. You do not need to work 12 hours a day to get more results, you could get the same results in 8 hours, if you managed your time more effectively, and this has been proven over and over again.
