Maximize the use of your time
You may be doing all the right things. You may be doing all things right. You may be working hard and you may be wasting very little time….
The one question that remains to be answered is, are you focused?
If you find yourself working very hard, wasting little time, and yet not getting the result that you are hoping for despite all your patience and perseverance, you may need to address issues related to your focus.
You may be spreading your energies in so many areas, that you are not investing enough in any single area and hence the stunted net growth.
Your strategy must be centralized around a very finite set of elements that are directly and closely related to each other. Your every activity must directly relate to the goals that your strategy is designed around and you must be executing one strategy at any given point.
Not everyone can be an Elon Musk!
Stay focused. Maximize the benefit you derive out of your time spent!
