Do You Really Do Your Best When You Follow A Routine?

Simon Reilly

I hear financial advisors say this to me all the time; “I work best when I follow a routine”.

Which routine are you following?

Laura and I have just finished day 1 of 3 of our 2012 planning process with the following completed:

  • Everything That We Have To Give Thanks For In 2011
  • S.W.O.T – Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats
  • 2012 One Page Business Plan
  • Sales Activity Calculator

We will continue the process tomorrow with the following:

  • Budget Cash Flow
  • Time Block Year – Free Days, Buffer Days & Focus Days
  • Job Description Review: What Is Working? What Improvements Can Be Made? What Can Be Delegated? How Can Technology Be Implemented?

The work that we did on our 2012 planning process really caused us to understand our business and inspire ourselves to a whole new level versus following into the trap of an unconscious routine.

“When there is freedom from mechanical conditioning, there is simplicity. The classical man is just a bundle of routine, ideas and tradition. If you follow the classical pattern, you are understanding the routine, the tradition, the shadow – you are not understanding yourself.” – Bruce Lee
