| But it is remarkable
that the distribution is not even. When you look carefully at diagram
(A) above, you see that your first 30% dedication to work = section
1 (grey), will usually get you a much larger
proportion of your results (60%). These are the best clients, the easiest
contracts, those customers that buy from themselves.
Then the following
part of your action, say 40% = section 2 (yellow),
results in an almost even part in income, namely 30%. Now you sit at
70% work and 90% gain (section 1 + 2) ! Now, look carefully, only
for those last 10% of your gain and income = section 3
(brown), you have to invest in proportion 30% of your time !
Now,
suppose that you eliminate a few difficult items in your work: get
out some money losers and some of those real time thieves. In stopping
to try to be perfect and do everything for everybody. In this way YOU
GET A POSSIBLE RECUPERATION OF 30% IN TIME, with only a very modestly
reduction of 10% income (= still a nice 90% very satisfactory results)!
This means on 1 month of average business at 10 hours a day and 20 days
a month @ 30% =
a gain of 6 days (= 60 hours) of extra leisure or holiday PER MONTH
!!
If
you would really go for it and dramatically reduce your money spending
with 40% (diagram B), you would be able to reduce your working
time by a staggering 70% and still have sufficient income to live your
life and enjoy 14 extra days of leisure time a month to study or have
an extra holiday. However, leisure time or practising a hobby is usually
more expensive, so you'll have to gain extra money for that !! (a
little joke)...
But
the calculation is very clear. It is this first time thief, difficult
client, no-show patient, ever more demanding purchaser, most chaotic
co-operator that
takes the largest part of your productive, creative time and energy.
And here lies your biggest potential gain.
So
you can as much gain
MONEY
by working (30% Time = 60% Result) as
TIME
by NOT working (30%) as well !
Trying
to be 'perfect' or the 'very best' is a big time gobbler!
I
know this tale sounds 'simple' but reflect about it. There is a BIG
difference between stress and well-being, running around like a headless
chicken or being a comfortable organiser...
Thank
you for your visit and your reading. Success with it and have a great
extra time !
