This has come about because I was feeling quite down today (like driving a lambo with the hand brake on... as well as a wheel clamp). Now I've decided that my success systems will pull me out of the rut, and I'd like to share them with you during my little re-design session tonight.
Who knows what a dashboard is? Yes, it's the bit in the Lambo with the nice gauges on it.
In business, for those that aren't familiar, dashboards are popular amongst executives because they are a snapshot of all the important things about their business at any time. Executives often get one handed to them each morning as they walk in, so they can assess progress, detect bad trends, etc.
My dashboard has a few vital differences, and is the key to this year's success.
It will be a nice leather folder (the zip-up kind), and here's what it contains:
Personal Dashboard
- Laminated copy of personal strategy (life goals, etc)
- Tactical plan for this year for each of this year's major goals
- Daily financial snapshot (financial statements, bank statement summaries)
- Master schedule (what I am doing for the day, week and month)
Company #1 Dashboard (Convenience store company) - done by store manager for me
- Laminated copy of company strategy (5 year goals, etc)
- Tactical plan for this year for each of this year's major goals
- Daily financial snapshot (financial statements, bank statement summaries, historical graphs)
Company #2 Dashboard (Media company
- Laminated copy of company strategy (5 year goals, etc)
- Tactical plan for this year for each of this year's major goals
- Daily financial snapshot (financial statements, bank statement summaries, historical graphs)
Motivation tools
- I will print a few pictures of what motivates me, so when I lose sight of the big picture (like I have recently), I can refresh myself. Imagine to a meeting you badly want to miss, and glancing at your motivational pictures before you walk in. Reframes your mind
Each day's dashboard might be a lot, but there's good reason for it:
- At any time of the day, I know what I am doing, and why, and what comes next
- I know the exact progress I have made
- I can detect problems and fix them before they damage my chances of success.
I am also designing a new way of investing my money, which involves a lot more automation in the way I turn earned money and business income into investments. Specifically, I am automating the way I allocate capital to my risk-free investments. If you'd like to hear more on that, just ask me.
So, what success systems do you have, and why are they working (or not) for you?
Daniel.
