2. Time Management Content
Time management is a critical skill set for your business. Most everyone you recruit will already be working another job when they start with you.

Your new recruit will need time management skills to be able to succeed in your business.

Today I will share with you my time management system. The beauty of the system is its simplicity. It only takes a few minutes to learn. It also only takes a few minutes to teach.

Remember one of skills of duplication is your ability to train your team.

Here is the system.

Spend 1% of your day planning. (14 minutes)
Ask and answer your time management questions in writing during the 14 minutes.
Apply the 80/20 rule to your list.

Here is a brief explanation of the system.

There are 1440 minutes in every day. 1% of the day is 14 minutes. Spend this time focused on planning.

Create a list of customized questions to plan an optimum day. You can use the questions below as a template. Each day ask yourself your questions and answer them in writing.

Once the list has been created apply the 80/20 rule to the list. This means identify the 2 activities on your list that when completed will provide you the most value.
