Getting Rid of Dead Weight

How often do you evaluate your business approach? I'd expect, if you're at all successful at what you do, you likely evaluate your business approach regularly - at least twice a year (if not more). On the other hand, I'd expect there are others who never evaluate their business approach. (Is that you? Be honest.)

The problem with never evaluating is you begin to carry some "dead weight." What I mean by "dead weight" is it's easy to get in the habit of doing things that aren't really contributing to your potential for success.

It could be anything that's "dead weight." And one person's "dead weight" might be different from another's. That approach by somebody else might still be working while it isn't for you. Through evaluation "dead weight" comes to light.

Which brings me to my main point and thought. Maybe after evaluating you actually free yourself up 5% or 10% in the time department. What could you fit into that extra time that might contribute to your business success? I'd like to suggest you try something new and cutting edge. Get innovative. Do a little research. Find out what others are doing in your career and then imitate them. And then give your new approach some breathing room. Over time, it may be just the boost your business (and emotions) need.
