"Umazi ukholelwa ukuthi ukucindezeleka kubalulekile ukhangela lokho lapho kufanele ukhangela. Kodwa lokhu akuyona lokho akuyona. Kubalulekile ukhangela ngezinye izakhiwo ezinhle ezingu-100 ezweni." -Steve Jobs

I-regression enhle kakhulu emzimbeni yakho iyatholakala.

It is not what you are doing wrong. It is not what you are doing wrong.

Kuyinto ukuthi uzothola ukuthi usebenza ngokufanele.

Lezi "izinzuzo ezinzima" zihlanganisa i-calendar yakho? Izinzuzo zihlanganisa.

I-Partnerships. I-Projects ye-Side. I-Infinite Meetings. I-Enterprises ezintsha.

You falls asleep exhausted. Wake up anxolile. Ngithanda ebaluleke ngoba ungathanda.

Ngezinyanga ezingu-10, uzokufunda ngokucacileyo: Uyakhiwa akukho okuhlobene.

If you don't know where you're going, distractions will look like opportunities.

Kuyinto umugqa wokuhlanganisa phakathi kwezimpendulo kanye nokuhlanganisa kumadivayisi amakhulu eyenziwe.

I-$100,000 Coffee Meeting

Ngithanda i-entrepreneur ebizwa ngokuthi i-Michael ivimbele inkampani yakhe nge-"izinzuzo."

I-SaaS ye-startup yayo yandisa i-15% ngenyanga. Umzila owaziwa ku-market leadership.

Ngemuva kwalokho, uqala ukuthatha "kunye i-coffee" izivakashi nezinhlangano, abathengisi, abathengisi.

I-calendar yayo iyatholakala nge-"izwi zokusebenza ngokushesha" kanye ne-"izwi ezinzima".

Ngezinyanga ezingu-6: Ukukhula kwangaphakathi. Ngezinyanga ezingu-12 ngemva: Abasebenzi Abasebenzi Abasebenzi Abasebenzi. Ngezinyanga ezingu-18 ngemva: Umthengisi waya emakethe. Inkampani waya.

I-autopsy yaziwa elula: Uma uMichael wahlala "izinzuzo", umlingani wakhe wahlukaniswa nge-metric eyodwa - ukuguqulwa kwamakhasimende. Abanikezela ku-3% ngenyanga.

Ngemva kweminyaka, i-compound interest yenza umsebenzi yayo.

Each "quick coffee meeting" cost him over $100,000 in lost company value.

I-Coffee engcono kakhulu emkhakheni.

Umlando we-Michael akuyona ngokushesha. Kuyinto i-default. Ukuze ukunceda le nendawo efanayo, kufuneka siphinde ukuthi sincoma kanjani ngempumelelo ngempumelelo emangalisayo emangalisayo njenge-opportunities.

Umthombo we-Ancient We Keep Ignoring

U-Seneca wabhala: "Uma umntu awukwazi ukuthi umkhakha wabhala, akukho umlilo akufanele."

I-Greeks wabhala umlando we-Odysseus ne-Lotus Eaters - isixeko lapho abantu wahlala impompo enikezela ukuphazamiseka.

U-Odysseus wahlanganyela ngokwemvelo izindiza zayo.

Your phone is the modern lotus fruit.

Yonke izivumelwano. Yonke "ukugqoka okusheshayo." Yonke "ukugqoka okusheshayo".

Izixhobo ezinhle yokusebenzisa. Izixhobo ezisebenzayo ukuze ubukele lapho uhamba.

I-Ancients wabhala isixazululo:

1. Yenza Ithaca yakho – indawo yakho enhle
2. Qhubeka ku-mast – ukwakha izinhlelo ezinamandla kunoma amandla yakho

Ngaphandle kwalokho, ngisho abasebenzi amakhulu etholakala lapho sikhula. Lezi zendalo ezidlulileyo sikhuthaza thina ukufumana i-cost efanelekayo ye-every distraction etholakala.

I-5X I-Tax ye-Every Distraction

I-Major Founder underestimates what distractions really cost them. Ungathanda ukuthi a distraction kusetshenziselwa nje isikhathi esithakazelisayo. Ngokwenene, i-cost iyatholakala kakhulu.

Every distraction charges a 5X tax on your most precious resources:

1. I-Direct Time Cost: I-Hours spent on the activity itself
2. I-Context Switching I-Cost: I-23 Imininingwane yokuxhumana emva kwe-interruption
3. I-Energy Depletion Cost: Umthamo we-mental impacting everything else
4. I-Opportunity Cost: Yintoni ungayifaka endaweni
5. I-Compounding Loss Cost: I-Return Exponential You'll Never See

Kuyinto i-3-4 amahora yakho yokukhiqiza kakhulu uma usihlanganisa zonke izindleko zangaphakathi.

Kuyinto esifubeni ukuthi abantu abanolwazi abanolwazi ukujabulela ngokufanelekileyo futhi zihlanganisa ngokufanelekileyo. Zihlanganisa ukuthi abantu abanolwazi ukujabulela ngokufanelekileyo ngokufanelekileyo.

I-difference ayikho ibhizinisi noma umdlavuza. Kuyinto isinyathelo. Ukwenza lokhu isinyathelo, kufuneka inkqubo ye-filtration enhle.

I-Billionaire Filter I-Major People Ignored

One of the most effective systems forining direction comes from Warren Buffett. Its focus system is not complicated, kodwa it requires a level of discipline most ambitious entrepreneurs are not willing to adopt:

1. Wabelane izidingo zakho ze-25
2. Ukuhlobisa Top 5
3. Ukukhangisa i-20 ezilandelayo ngempumelelo

Umhlahlandlela owawuselwa emangalisayo lapho u-Buffett wahlala ne-pilot yayo yobuchwepheshe. Umhlahlandlela wahlala u-Buffett indlela yokufinyelela izidingo zayo zokusebenza. U-Buffett wahlala i-25 izidingo zayo ezidlulileyo, bese wahlala kuphela i-5 ezidlulileyo.

Uma u-pilot wathatha imibuzo mayelana neminye amadolobha angu-20, ngokuvumelana ne-"job on occasionally" ithimba yayo, impendulo we-Buffett wabhala:

"Khona. Uyazi. Yonke into ukuthi awukwazi ukujabulela kwangaphambili kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi kwangaphakathi."

The power isn't in picking the top 5. It's in completely avoiding everything else.

I-Major people understands this advice intellectually, then proceeds to chase 15+ goals simultaneously. They see Buffett's system as an interesting concept rather than an essential practice.

Iziphumo zabo zihlanganisa lokhu ukuhlangabezana. Ukuze isetshenziswe lokhu ubuchwepheshe ngokwemvelo, unemibuzo esisebenzayo yokufilisha amathuba.

I-Direction Filter: Isixhumi Olandelayo Olandelayo Yakho

Ngokusekelwe ku-Buffett's approach, kufuneka inkqubo esebenzayo yokwenza izixazululo ezisekelwe ku-direction. I-solutions ayinempumelelo, kodwa kuncike into eningi engaphansi kwe-complexity: ubudlelwane ukuhlangabezana isinyathelo esifanele.

Ufuna i-Direction Filter - isixhobo esebenzayo yokwenza imiphumela yakho lapho izinzuzo ezinzima zihlanganisa.

Ngiyazi indlela yokwakha enye:

Step 1: Define Your One Critical Metric

Yini idilesi elilodwa ukuthi, uma kubuyekezwa, uya kubuyekeza konke okunye kwebhizinisi yakho noma ukuphila?

Ukuze Business:

• I-akquisition ye-client entsha
• Ukubuyekezwa
• Imininingwane ngamakhasimende

Ukubuyekezwa:

• Izinsuku ezingenalutho zokusebenza
• Imininingwane ye-Quality Time With Family
• Izihloko

Pick ONE. Lokhu kuyinto North Star yakho izinsuku ezingu-90 ezilandelayo.

Step 2: Create Your Three Filter Questions

Ukuze zonke izinzuzo ezivela emzimbeni yakho, sicela:

1. "Uya kubuyekeza ngqo I-One Critical Metric yami ngaphakathi kwe-90 izinsuku ezilandelayo?"
2. "Khayi lokhu indlela ephakeme lokuphendula ukucubungula le metric?"
3. "Uma okufanayo ngokugcwele, uya kubalulekile eminyakeni eyodwa?"

Uma impendulo ye-Any iyinhlangano ye-no, kungekho ithuba. It is a distraction.

Step 3: Default to No

Ukusabela kwe-default ye-"no" ku-ke konke okungenani okungenani le-filter yakho.

Ngaphandle kokuphumula. Ngaphandle kokuphumula. Ngaphandle kokuphumula.

It is not being closed to opportunity. It is being open only to the right opportunities. It is being opened only to the right opportunities.

Ukuze ubone ukuthi lokhu indlela kusebenza emzimbeni, sicela uchofoze isibonelo emvelo yokufakelwa emzimbeni.

I-$100 Billion I-Focus Decision

Ukulungiselela akuyona kuphela inkqubo yobugcisa. Ukuze abasebenzi abavumile kakhulu, kuyinto isiseko esisebenzayo sehlabathi okwenza imiphumela emangalisayo. Thola uTobi Lütke, umbhali we-Shopify, njengesibonelo esihle.

Ukwakhiwa kwe-Shopify, i-Lütke wathatha imibuzo efanayo ne-entrepreneur enhle: i-partnerships, i-acquisition talks, ama-talking events, kanye nama-market opportunities.

Ngo-2015, inkampani enkulu ye-venture capital ibonise izinzuzo ezengeziwe ukukhuthaza izixazululo ze-B2B. Umthengisi wahlala ngokufanelekileyo, izinzuzo zihlanganisa, futhi ukuxhumanisa kubalulekile. Abaningi abasunguli bakwazi ukujabulela inkinga.

Lütke wahlala.

I-reasoning yayo yaziwa elula kodwa enhle: "Ukuhlola i-clock yethu yokushesha ku-zero ku-metric okuyinto enhle."

Nangona ama-concurrents ezifana ne-Magento abalandeli amakethe amaningi kanye nama-functions, i-Shopify ibekwe isikhokelo esizodwa ekuthuthukiseni ukuthengiswa kwe-online kumakhasimende.

Umphumela? I-Shopify yaba inkampani yama-$100+ billion. Abaningi ama-competitors abalandeli ngokuphelele, noma zithengiswa ngama-fraction of what they could have been worth.

Direction doesn't just filter out distractions. It compounds your effectiveness on what actually matters.

Yintoni ebonakalayo ngokuvumelana nezidingo ziye ngokuvumelana nesandla – njenge-focusing umoya we-sunlight ngokusebenzisa ingcindezi wokubacindezela kuze kube lokuphuma. Lezi zimo zihlanganisa ngaphezulu kwezohwebo kuya ku-reality yemathemathemathikhi yindlela etholakalayo isikhathi lethu ebonakalayo.

Umthamo we-Mathematics of Lost Greatness

Ukuphathelene ne-reality ye-mathematical of how direction affects outcomes inikeza ama-entrepreneurs abasebenzayo ukuthatha imibuzo emihle mayelana ne-time kanye ne-focus.

Konke "Yes" iyinhlangano "khona" kuzo zonke izinto eziyinkimbinkimbi ukuthi ungayenza ngosuku futhi amandla. Lolu hlobo lwezimali kulula ukuhlangabezana ngenxa yokuba awukwazi ukubona indlela eyahlukile - ukuthi ungayifaka endaweni.

Most people dramatically overestimate their available focus time.

Ungathanda ukuthi unayo amahora angu-40 yokukhiqiza ngeviki. I-reality? Uninzi lwabasebenzi we-Knowledge akufanele amahora angu-15 yokukhiqiza kakhulu ngeviki emva kokufaka izivakashi, izixazululo, kanye ne-administration.

Izinsuku ezingu-15 zithunyelwe kuphela yokufinyelela ngokucacileyo ku-important.

Kuyinto akuyona umqondo we-philosophy. Kuyinto umqondo we-mathematical.

Ngemva kweminyaka engu-5% yokukhula nge-ONE metric: 7.6x indawo yakho yokuqala. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-5% yokukhula nge-FIVE ama-metric ahlukene: kuphela i-1.6x ngamunye indawo.

Ukuguqulela lokhu umphumela emhlabeni 40 ubudala umdlalo, futhi ingxaki phakathi ukucindezeleka nokuhlanganiswa ukucindezeleka akuyona akuyona akuyona kuphela. Kuyinto ingxaki phakathi kokuphendula okusezingeni eliphezulu nokuhlanganiswa.

Umbuzo ke kwenziwa: kanjani ufunde indlela yakho enhle ekuqaleni?

Indlela yokufumana i-North yakho enhle

Ukubonisa indlela yakho akuyona ekwenzeni izinketho ezininzi. Ukuze abasebenzi abavumile, kubalulekile ukuthatha ubudlelwane ukunciphisa ukuthi akuyona nezidingo zakho eziyinhloko nezidingo zakho zokusebenza.

Qinisekisa kwabo izimo ezinzima:

1. Yintoni ungayenza izinsuku ezinguqulo ezinguqulo emzimbeni sakho? (Hhayi yintoni esithakazelisayo abantu - yintoni esithakazelisayo YOU)
2. Yini 1-2 imisebenzi core, uma kwenziwa ngokuqhubekayo ngexesha elilandelayo, kungenziwa lokhu imiphumela?
3. Yini i-metric eyodwa uyakwazi ukubonisa ukuthi uhamba kuleli kuleli khulula?

Yenziwe ngokugcwele ngokugqithisileyo nezimpendulo zakho. Lezi zenzakalo zihlanganisa ngokuvamile ingcindezi oluthile: Iningi kuncike ukuthi ungacindezela akugqithisa ku-imeyile esithakazelisayo.

Clarity doesn't come from more options. It comes from more elimination.

Uma unemibuzo mayelana nenkqubo yakho, sicela ukhusele ngempumelelo ngokuvamile ngokuvamile:

Yonke usuku, ngaphambi kokubuyekeza i-imeyili noma iyiphi inguqulo:

1. Hlola One Critical Metric yakho
2. Ukubhalisa imiphumela ye-1-3 ezivela ku-day
3. Ukulungiselela kubo ngaphambi kokubili ezinye into ku-calendar yakho

Ukulungiselela okuhlobene okuhlobene uzothola imizila yakho lapho wonke umhlaba uzama ukujabulela ngezindlela ezahlukile. Ngokuvamile okuhlobisa okuhlobene, uzothola imizila emangalisayo ngokuvamile.

I-Contra-Intuitive Truth mayelana nezidingo ezivamile

With a clear direction established, uzothola into okuyinto kakhulu izivakashi high-performing ukuphazamiseka: Izinzuzo zangempela zihlanganisa izinzuzo emangalisayo emangalisayo.

Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo. Izinzuzo.

I-Facebook ayibonakalisa ukuthi akuyona ithuba kumahora we-investors abalandeli.

I-Amazon ayikwazanga ukuthi akuyona kuphela ukuthengiswa kwebhizinisi.

I-Netflix yaziwa okungabizi lapho i-Blockbuster ingathengiswa ngama-$ 50 million.

True opportunities become visible only when you have the clarity to recognize them.

Kuyinto inikeza isizukulwane esibonakalayo: Abacwaningi abacwaningi abacwaningi ngokuvamile bakwazi ukufumana izinzuzo ezinhle. Lokhu akuyona isizukulwane noma ukujabulela. Ukulinganiswa kwayo okuhlobene uyakwazi ukufundisa izinzuzo lapho abanye bakwazi kuphela ukujabulela noma ukujabulela umsebenzi.

Ngezinye, abo ngaphandle kwesinyathelo esifubeni zihlola "izinzuzo" ezivamile ukuthi wonke umntu angazi - okuyinto ngokuvamile ibonise izinzuzo ezincinane.

Ukuqeqesha uhlelo lakho lokukwazi ukujabulela:

1. Ukuqhathanisa isinyathelo lakho nge-criteria ezithile, ezivamile
2. Ukuhlola yonke into esifundeni esifundeni enhle
3. Thola ama-problems abanye abalandeli
4. Qhagamshelana ne-Curiosity yakho ngaphakathi kwelinye indawo ephakeme

Ukuhlobisa kwakho okuhlobisa izinzuzo ezihambile emangalisayo – engabonakalisayo kumadoda abalandeli yonke into emangalisayo futhi entsha. Lokhu kuholela ku-ultimate question of what kind of life you are building through your daily choices.

I-Life You're Building Right Now

Thola uxhumane ngcono ebaluleke ukuthi abenzi be-business kufanele ufunde: Ukulungiselela ubusuku lakho elandelayo namhlanje nge-cross every choice you make, every distraction you allow.

Uma ungacabanga 'Yes' ngezinto ngaphandle kokufaka isinyathelo esifanele:

• Ngezinyanga ezingu-5: Uyakwazi ukufumana iziphumo eziningi kodwa iziphumo ezingaphakeme kakhulu
• Ngezinyanga ezingu-10: Uzothola imibuzo eminingi kodwa unemiphumela eminingi
• Ngezinyanga ezingu-20: Uzothola imibuzo eminingi kodwa unemibuzo engaphansi

Kuyinto akufanele ukuhlangabezana. Kuyinto yakhelwe ukuhlangabezana nokukhuthaza.

The greatest tragedy isn't failing to reach your destination. It's never having a clear destination in the first place.

Ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa, wonke umdlavuza, ukucindezeleka, kanye nomdlavuza ehlabathini akhiqiza kuphela ingxenye yesikhathi esizayo. Ngaphandle kokuqinisekisa okuhlobene, ngisho umdlavuza okuhlobene akhiqiza imiphumela esizayo.

Umhlahlandlela wakho: Thola ukujabulela zonke izidingo ezihambayo? Noma ubeka isinyathelo esifundeni okuhlobisa ukuthi kungcono ukuthi kungcono isikhathi yakho futhi ukuthi kungekho?
