Your business is a machine. It converts customers with needs into satisfied customers and profit. Everything you do fits into these five categories:. Run the machine .Build the machine .Design the machine .Staffing for the above.Resources for the above.

No, #OKRs are not the most important things your company is doing. That's Business As Usual - #BAU. Acquiring customers and delivering value to them: revenue generation. OKRs are the most important changes you're making to BAU. They are how you grow future revenue.

#Leadership is influencing other people to focus their effort on a purpose. Maybe it’s their own improvement. Maybe it’s a political or social purpose. Maybe it’s serving your customers. What’s the purpose your leadership is for?.

#OKRs don't work for you?. It's probably not because you have bad OKRs. Implement the three OKR Mechanisms:. * The Planning Habit.* The Execution Cadence.* The Quarterly Rhythm. And have great managers. Which part are you missing?.

When I'm planning my day, here's how I prioritise:. 1) Eat the biggest Frog (do the thing I keep resisting).2) Do the One Thing (work on the most important thing I selected for the week).3) Play Dominoes (get tasks done, aiming to build momentum - small to large). How about you?.

After you finish every task, but before you cross it off the list, ask yourself this one Question:. "What's the next thing I need to do here to accomplish the real goal?". Set and schedule that task in your calendar or to-do app. Do this for every task, and you are unstoppable.

Want to know how to keep momentum at work?. Learn from the best salespeople. They finish every sales call by setting the next action:.- Agreeing the next meeting.- Sending an action-item and summary email.- Putting a followup reminder in calendar. Do the same after each task.

Break Goals (or #OKRs) down into #Habits + #Tasks. Allocate time for habits every week and set up the systems to make sure they get done. Atomic Habits by @JamesClear will help here. Set up tasks in your task manager, include a deadline, and do them (Pro-tip: make that a habit).
