How to Get Things Done with a Master Task List / Prioritized Action List
Focusing on many responsibilities is a vital part of successfully running your business successfully. But how do you know which tasks need to be completed immediately and which tasks can wait? You have so many things you need to do that it can be very overwhelming.

A master task is a strategically composed list that will help you meet the needs of your business.

Do people send you words of praise for what you do?
Do you sound look, and feel like everyone else in your industry? How do you differentiate yourself from everyone else? How do prospects view you – like everyone else in your industry? Have people really experienced what you do to differentiate you from everyone else? Do they understand how you are a benefit to them and the people they know who might want or need your services or products. It is the experience you give people that differentiates you from everyone else.
Do people who do business with you thank you? Do you receive thank you letters from people who experience what you do after they have invested in your services or products? If not, why don’t they send you thank you notes and appreciate what you do for them? What would have to happen for you to receive words of praise for what you do? What small change might you have to make?
I appreciate you saying whatever they said about you (nice). One way you can help others to have experiences like you are having now who have had experiences you have had in the past, is letting me know all the people that you know that you think might enjoy or be open to learning about what we do so they can choose to work with us or not. Stop depriving people of what you do. Leverage the compassion, emotion, and those feelings of enjoying the experience you just provided someone and they are thanking you for all you did for them. Help them make it easy for them to refer others to you. What else might you have to implement in your business to make it easier to refer others to you? Execute and implement those things today and reap the rewards.
Reality Upclose-The Power of Audio/Video Taping Yourself
How do you suppose elite professional athletes prepare for their sport? Among other things, they watch film and get professional coaching. Even the superstars? Especially the superstars. Nobody is more motivated to look at themselves for ways to improve than the best.
Video and audio tape reveals the truth. It can’t lie, think or assume. It can only tell the truth.
We all can learn from the pros and achieve our next level of success by audio taping real client interviews/conversations/seminars, etc. If you play a sport or an instrument, audio/video taping can be a powerful learning experience. Here are a few steps to implement this powerful idea.
1. Make a real commitment to audio tape your client interviews/appointments/meetings. It is as much for their benefit as it is yours.
2. Buy a small, battery powered digital recorder. Preferably one where you can easily listen to the recordings in your car.
3. Prepare a simple monologue for explaining to your prospects and clients how audio taping the interview, appointment, and meeting benefits them. Here is an example.
“Mr./Ms. Prospect/Client the work we are beginning/doing today is very important. You see that in addition to my notepad, I use a digital recorder. The purpose of recording our meeting is to capture everything you share with me with complete accuracy. Although I take good notes, I will listen to this tape several times between now and the next time we meet. I find this helps me to be absolutely sure that the work I do for you is totally consistent with what you want to accomplish. I believe it helps me do a better job for you.”
Asking good questions in the beginning of the meeting will cause your prospect/client to very quickly forget about the recorder and focus on the process of helping them be even more successful. The recorder should be placed off to the side so it isn’t a consistent reminder.
4. Listen to the recordings! This, of course, is the most difficult part and the most helpful/powerful. You will soon become comfortable listening to your own voice and you will quickly discover ways to dramatically improve the results of the interview.
5. Sample self-evaluation questions:
- What are three things I did right in this meeting?
- What is the one biggest thing I could improve?
- What issues did my prospect/client seem to be most emotional about?
- Did I listen and go at my prospect’s/client’s pace?
- How many minutes did I talk?
- How many minutes did my prospect/client talk?
- Do I have all the information I need to create what I need to create for my prospect/client?
- What did my prospect/client make a commitment to do?
- Did I do a good job of getting a clear commitment from my prospect/client to achieve the desired outcome?
- Did the meeting flow according to my plan?
- How could I better stay on track or take fewer detours in my meetings?
6. Give a recording to a colleague or manager for review. Provide them with an evaluation form. Read their feedback carefully. Make adjustments accordingly.
It takes courage to do this and face the truth. There is always a gap between what we think occurs in the meeting and reality. If you can muster the courage to listen to the recording (or watch if a video) with a commitment to improvement versus the tendency to justify your actions, you will enjoy significant and immediate increase in your results.
Consider the benefits:
- The monologue explaining your purpose for recording the interview instantly builds credibility from the very beginning of the meeting. You don’t have to get their permission. If they have a problem with the recording, they will let you know.
- You will do a better job for your client as a result of listening to the recordings. Just like watching a movie previously seen often reveals what we missed the first time, you will discover things that you might have missed in your notes. Just the fact that you care enough to listen to the recording will cause you to be more effective at creating the best course of action for your new client.
- Hearing what you do well on the recordings (or seeing it on the video) will increase your confidence.
- Your relationship building skills will dramatically increase as a result of accurately identifying specific areas for improvement.
- The recordings will reveal wasted time. Eliminating superfluous events will shorten the time it takes to successfully complete the meeting. Often the interview can be more effective in less time.
You may not like everything you hear and see at first, but it won’t be long before you do! Get recording today and see those enhanced results.
Mercedes Mechanic I highly recommend – in San Diego
Whenever I get a car, I always look for the best mechanic (typically not at the car dealership – sorry) to work on my car so I can have an expert who specializes in the type the car and also to save money from going to a dealership. If you are like me, you want the best mechanic who you trust to tell you the truth and who saves you money.
If you live in San Diego area and have a Mercedes, you want to take your car to Exclusive Motors. They are at 8448 Miracrest Place, Suite C, San Diego, CA 92121
Their phone number is 858-552-1112
I was referred to this mechanic many years ago and have gone there ever since. I needed 4 new tires the other day in addition to some regular maintenance. They took my car to get the tires for me so I didn’t have to go there and get them myself. They double checked the air pressure and took the time to explain everything they did to my car. I almost always feel like I should pay more for the work they do for me. I bet you haven’t felt this way about a car mechanic too many times before, if ever.
They only work on Mercedes. They also have cars for sale if you are in the market for a Mercedes.
