Get active in a focused way – Award Winning Accountant
Hi. I’m here at the Buddhist Temple in Chiang Mai and I read a really good inscription on one of the boards here. One of the sayings here in one of the placards along this Buddhist Temple was, “You’re long time inactive when you’re dead. So it’s time to get on some action.”
Well, in some ways, I don’t think that’s our challenge because I think we are really too busy, aren’t we? There’s always something to do. There’s always too much to do and I don’t know if you are somewhat like me that you could easily get overwhelmed with the number of opportunities and activities that you have to do to move your business forward.
So I think our challenge is to be active in a focused way, to be challenged, to be active in a way that moves our business forward, but on doing one or two or three things. That is why our Profit Multiplier Program focuses on one or two projects a quarter, maybe three projects a quarter. We would focus on one a month, make sure it gets done and each one has the potential and promise of increasing sales, increasing margins, increasing cash flow. So how does that fit in with how you run your business? Do you focus on one or two key things every week, every month to make sure it gets done to move your business forward or are you like many of the businesses I meet, constantly chasing after a hundred different things and wondering why profits don’t improve?
It is a difficult time out here and we are in challenging times and I think we need to do something slightly different if you’re not getting the results from doing what you’ve got. Hopefully that gives you a bit of food for thought. Think about what he said. It’s time to get active but time to get active in a focused way. I think that’s what the Buddhism message would have been to us in the UK and the Western world today. I look around and everyone in one their mobile phones, on Facebook, on Pinterest and hundreds of different media activities and I see them at the dinner table here. I see them having their massage on their mobile phone. There seems to be no escape from activity.
