24 April 2007First Time Management Myth That Trap Your Time & Income
Time Management was invented to control the employee’s and manager productivity for the company. It was not created for the business owner.
Let’s repeat that… Time Management is for the employee not the business owner.
Time Management fuels three counterproductive Time Myths that keep you trapped under the pile of stuff.

Time Myth #1 –The more hours I work the more productive I must be. |
This is one of the biggest mistakes most entrepreneurs make and can cost them their business. You already reached the point where working more produces the opposite effect. You see diminished results for your efforts.
You must work long hours and work hard at the beginning of your business. But when you hit the Business Success Hurdle, you need to flip everything you learned on its head. You reached the point where your success is no longer about time and effort.
Multiplicity of Stuff occurs naturally in every success business. Customers generate it. That’s good… it means all those long hours… all that hard work paid off.
More customers = more stuff. More stuff = more hours trying to keep up. You can’t eliminate Multiplicity of Stuff. I guess you can if you get rid of your customers. And many solo entrepreneurs do just that. They find running themselves stretch beyond their limits. It’s just not worth all the long hours anymore.
This is a signal its time to change the way you run your business. The success of your business is no longer about time and effort. Your success is strictly a function of results.
I’ll go into more detail about the function of results in part three of Three Common Time Management Myths That Trap Your Time & Income
Traditional time management does not deal multiplicity of stuff issue the solo entrepreneur faces. It wasn’t designed to… remember time management is for the employee. Time management encourages cramming more and more stuff into your calendar. The last thing you need to be doing at this point.
