5 LEVERS FOR WORKING LESS, EARNING MORE: THE KEYS TO ACHIEVING YOUR (MULTI)AMBITIONS THAT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE!
⚖️5 levers to go from amateur to pro: Work less, earn more!
Feeling overwhelmed by the number of projects and activities you have on the go?
Do you feel like you're running all over the place and can't keep up?
Do you find yourself exhausted and unable to manage your time effectively?
Here are five powerful levers you can activate right now.
1- The lever of clarity
The first lever, and undoubtedly the most important, is clarity.
All too often neglected, this lever is essential for effective and coherent progress.
Before diving headlong into a multitude of projects, take the time to define your vision, values and mission.
Where do you want to go?
What is the meaning of your commitment?
What do you want to build?
This strategic thinking will help you make the right decisions, focus on what really matters and adapt more easily to the unexpected.
It also builds confidence!
2- Leveraging skills
The second lever is skills.
The better you are at something, the faster and more efficient you'll be.
Whether in sales, public speaking or any other activity, experience and training will enable you to reach a level of excellence that will increase your impact tenfold.
Focus on what we call "high income skills", the skills that are most valuable and yield the highest returns:
Persuasion
Communication (in all formats)
Marketing and sales
Financial intelligence
Ability to learn
Decision-making
Leadership
Concentrate on developing your own skills, but don't hesitate to surround yourself with qualified people to fill in the gaps or help you, because you won't be able to do everything (5th lever).
3- Leveraging systems
The third lever is systems.
Most of the tasks you perform require regular repetition.
Rather than reinventing the wheel every time, put in place processes, routines and templates that will save you precious time.
Whether for decision-making, project management or customer acquisition, well-tuned systems will enable you to be more efficient and free up mental space to concentrate on the more strategic aspects.
4- Leveraging automation
The fourth lever is automation.
Thanks to today's technological tools, many repetitive tasks can be automated, whether it's email sequences, posting on social networks, making appointments or even certain steps in your sales process.
By delegating these repetitive tasks to robots or intelligent tools, you'll free up precious time to devote to higher value-added activities.
What's more, artificial intelligence enables new approaches to automation that really save you time!
5- Human leverage
The fifth and final lever is the human factor.
Even if you develop your skills, set up systems and automate certain tasks, there will come a time when you won't be able to do everything on your own.
This is where it becomes essential to surround yourself with competent people who will share your vision and help you turn it into reality.
Whether for operational tasks or strategic missions, delegate and trust your team.
Don't try to be a superhero - even they need allies!
The most important lever: Energy!
Although these five levers are essential, there is a sixth, cross-cutting one that links them all: energy.
To be able to activate these different levers effectively and sustainably, you need to take care of your physical, mental and emotional energy.
Learn how to manage your energy peaks and valleys, recharge your batteries regularly and maintain a healthy balance between your various activities.
Apply these levers to your business (for entrepreneurs)
If you're an entrepreneur or company director, these five levers also apply to your business.
Start by clearly defining your company's vision, mission and values.
Then identify the key skills you need to develop your business, whether in sales, marketing, management or administration.
Implement efficient systems and processes to optimize your operations, from customer acquisition to customer retention
Standardize, optimize, automate and scale what can be!
Finally, don't hesitate to surround yourself with competent collaborators who will share your vision and help you turn it into reality.
By activating these different levers, you'll be able to work less and earn more, while preserving your balance and well-being.
