4 Beliefs That Could Change How You Use Your Time

By: Admin

Intellectual reasoning and practical behavior aren’t always congruent. Professional results commanding high remuneration only occur when they are preceded with a mind-set on victory and the disciplined behaviors that one can refine to optimize results. Often is-the-case where the “hoped for” results are much greater in magnitude than the rigor and discipline people commit to achieving them.

Logically people know one won’t occur without the other, yet often people are surprised when they don’t. This frequently occurs with Time.

Would results in your life and business be more significant if your decisions about how you use time were congruent with the following beliefs?

Time is your most valuable asset – Only you truly decide how to invest your time. Your decision about that comes before any activity or result in life or business can occur, which there in makes the value of that moment in time more valuable than the result. Your ability to make the use of time more valuable correlates to the quality of the dreams and goals that attract you and drive your decisions about time.

Time is finite, and it all gets used – No one knows when they have nothing left in their time account. Without setting clear goals about when life or business results are desired, will you use time “in your comfort zone” getting results similar to what you experience today? Or will you use time to “step out of your comfort zone” to implement the new behaviors and habits that will contribute to newer, better results?

Someone makes a decision about how you invest your time – How much of your time are you choosing to invest the way you want and need to and how much do you invest because someone else needs your unplanned focus? Someone else may distract you – who is making the choice to let that happen?

Keeping score regarding time is a discipline professionals embrace to help them win – Keeping score about the amount of time lost to distraction or activities where the real value is overestimated could guide focus on those that truly are important to your success. That which gets measured gets managed and can easily be improved.

Beliefs any of us hold always show up before sustainable results do. Is your intellect enough to influence more productive behavior where time is a factor? Or are you more influenced to act when you witness someone else’s success story in an area you are pondering a next step? Perhaps something else is your influence, are you in touch with that?

Achieving the lifestyle quality you dreamed about when you first started your business is a marathon, not a sprint.

Discipline to set clear and motivating goals, to step out of your comfort zone to try new things, to truly own your choices for your time investments, to make critical decisions about what to do with your time and to keep score regarding your planned and actual use of time fosters the habits professionals rely on for success. If now is not the time for you to examine your beliefs about time, when will it be?

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone

It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:

Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)

cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.

By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.

These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.

Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.

Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.

It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
