What percent of the time are you REACTING to things versus INITIATING them?

If you believe you’re a leader, at least 50% of your time should be initiating.

If not, is it because you’re too “busy”?

That means you’re not using your time effectively, not delegating, or are an employee fooling yourself that you’re a leader.

If you find yourself exhausted or running out of time each day, start cutting activities and delegating, so you can focus on your priorities.

Use our principle called #DDD (do, delegate, delete) to manage your time and #CID (communicate, iterate, delegate) to run your teams. These are 2 of our 9 principles in our framework of business called the 9 Triangles at yourcontentfactory.com/NTG.

You should have at least 50% of your time free to think, plan, and initiate activities if you want to achieve your big goals.
