When you are looking to level up your business, there are many lean strategies that can help you. One of my favorites is the concept of "stop starting, and start finishing".
The simple practice of stop starting and start finishing is a total game changer. It reminds us to:
1. Focus on doing less things at once - try working on only one thing at a time whenever feasible or batching a group of like activities together.
2. Focus on finishing what you have in progress BEFORE you start something new.
3. Avoid the urge to make a little bit of progress on a lot of things thinking you will get them all finished by the end of the week.
Here is how you can start using this practice in your business, starting TODAY.
Have a quick checkpoint to see how you are progressing towards your goals for the week (include your team if applicable).
An optimal week should show the following mix of progress on your activities:
- Some finished
- Some in progress
- Some not yet started
