What are your Tasks Costing You?

When it comes to prioritizing, the simplest advice I give clients is to focus on "bottom line" activities. What are those tasks, that when you're at your peak performance, are/will be generating income? It is so easy to get overwhelmed with the minutia of running a business, but in the heat of it all, stop and focus on those activities that most closely impact your bottom line. This is effective prioritization at its finest!
I would suggest everybody, right now, take just 5 minutes, and list out all of those activities that cost you money, and those to dos that make you money. Hey, you're either making money or losing money- so let's get everyone very clear on what it is that is making the dough! Stick your list with these activities in your vision for a couple of weeks, so you are constantly aware of when you're working on things that are unimportant, versus income generating.
