Happy Monday. Last week I wrote about sharpening the saw… continuing with that theme today. As we learned together from the Stephen Covey video, to become a master of your time, you need to first be aware of your priorities in the larger context. The framework that I will be sharing with you in this blog is — the Time Management Matrix — it is designed to help you structure your daily activities and deal with them based on priority. Take a look:
Time Management Matrix
Think of each square as a quadrant. The top left, urgent and important is Q1; important and non-urgent is Q2; non-important and urgent is Q3 and Q4 is non-important and the non-urgent. Take a look at this summary of dealing with each quadrant:
Q-1 Tasks: Manage immediately to get them out of the way. Spend the required effort such that they do not blow out of portion.
Q-2 Tasks: Focus disproportionately due to the high payoff from the investment.
Q-3 Tasks: Delegate, automate, or eliminate due to their urgent nature, but be minimally involved as they are not important.
Q-4 Tasks: Dump them as they are neither important nor urgent.
The table below illustrates a breakdown of how effective people allocate their time. The bigger the quadrant size, the more time you spend on it:

Execution is a NOUN!
Take action, NOW!
Here is what I know, no book, no certification, no training, no coaching program or pill will EVER help you succeed as much as:
The vision you see.
The decisions you make.
The beliefs you have.
The peers you keep.
The priorities you choose.
I’m often asked what’s the secret to my success and the success of our most productive agents? It’s easy… EXECUTION. You see I know – and my team knows – ideas are plentiful yet ACTION is the formula to make ideas successful
So my question today is, what’s holding you back?
Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small parts.
Are you ready to stop talking, thinking, stalling or getting ready to get ready?
Execution is a NOUN. Let’s GO!

As you know, being the CEO of your own business is a fun challenge… lots to do and focus on. Yet consider this: if you are caught up in the whirlwind are you as effective as possible? We all know that 20% of our effort creates 80% of our results.
Read below, is this a vision you can lean into?
I’m often asked, “what should I be doing?” The answer, keeping it super simple is – P . L . A . N .
Everything else either: Delegate, Automate or Eliminate!
The next most common question? “When do I need to hire an assistant?”
Answer: NOW!
So to clarify, up to about 17 transactions your “assistants” are the preferred suppliers that surround you. Work with them to make your process as effective as possible. Then at these trigger points your plan must address team structure: 18 transactions; 30 transactions; 61 transactions and 100+ all require a unique support structure.
Suggestion: schedule a 15-minute daily checkup with yourself (and your team members if appropriate) on how you’re doing on your P.L.A.N. At the end of the day, the three decisions we completely control over are:
- What we focus on. (P.L.A.N. being one example.)
- What meaning we attach to things, activities or events happening around us. (Fear. Fear is just false evidence appearing real.)
- And, what we do in spite of the obstacles we face. (Mental toughness is staying in inspired action despite what’s happening around us.)
