Business Habits: How to Become an Effective Planner?

The panacea to an effective business organization is to “Eliminate chaos by staying proactively organized,” according to Christina Desmarais, a writer at the respected publication, Inc.com.

Her proposal initiates an interesting debate on what defines an effective business. To offer a practical solution, Desmarais quotes Nate Kelly, the CEO of Adero.


“The CEO of the home is the person who spends more time worrying about everyone else’s needs than their own.”

Charity begins at home, meaning an effective organization is a skill that has to be learned and practiced at home before you can implement it in your work. The small things that you do outside the office will contribute a lot to your final output.

“It took me a long time to realize it, but the most meaningful moment for me every day is when I can take some of that mental load and anxiety off my wife’s plate. So if I organize my day ahead of time, I'm also making sure she isn't scrambling to help me when it's already too late,” Adero continued.

A successful business is known to observe the rules of the game. You cannot cheat your way to the top, it takes hard work, loads of sacrifice, and continuous learning. If you employ shortcuts in your business, you will be exposed and the business will suffer.

“Business success requires the ability to know your strengths and weaknesses. Being open and honest about yourself and your business creates growth as an individual and as a company. Don't spend time developing weaknesses,” says The Balance Small Business.

Don’t concentrate on your errors, rather focus on what you can change and that is the future. Your strengths must be your focal point. Your mistakes become a learning curve, you cannot wish them away to disappears, after all, they are part of your organization’s journey.

The Balance Small Business adds: “Find help for weak areas, enabling you to focus on strengths. In the book, “Now, Discover Your Strengths,” Gallup Organization reveals that building our strengths instead of fixing our weaknesses is the path to mastery and success. Take the time to know yourself and business.”

A pertinent letdown for most entrepreneurs is convincing themselves they have done it, yet they have tons of things to learn before they can be crowned as successful. “Don’t rest on your laurels,” urges Jeff Bullas on his personal blog, jeffbullas.com.

Often, when you run out of competition, you may relax and believe you have done it, however, the important thing is to always remain alert in the game. Create more strategies that will stretch your thinking and take you out of your comfort zone, only then, can you say you are now an expert in your chosen field.

Adds Bullas: “It’s easy to feel stagnant if you’re not doing anything new. Change things up and challenge yourself. You don’t have to climb a mountain or run a marathon, just aim for small, personal goals. Whether that’s going to the gym more often or starting a new project, you’ll feel better for trying.”

Taking time to learn new things will benefit you in the future. While your competitors relax, enjoying themselves at holidays resorts, you must take advantage of that and upgrade yourself.

“Audit your 7 p.m. – 2 a.m. Here’s another hint from Vaynerchuk: The time between the end of the workday and when you fall asleep is the white space in which to further your career,” states the Oracle NetSuite.

If you have something to learn to improve your skills, then reduce your sleeping time.

The Oracle NetSuite continued: “Vaynerchuk cites staying late at the office or “building out your cooking blog” as examples of smart ways to use this time. Whether you’re improving your existing career or starting a new venture, the hours after your “day job” ends are the prime time to develop value.”

By the way, what part of your day do you commit to doing the things you love most. Of course, your business is important, but your other interest must not suffer because of it.

“A daily walk before or after lunch. The one habit I maintain to be productive and help my business grow is…” 

“I go for a daily walk before or after lunch. I need that time to reboot my brain, to focus on the three goals I set for each day and take stock of where I am with them,” urges the CB Nation.

Don’t consider these personal moments as time-wasting. These habits help to revitalize your creative skills, helping you come up with innovative solutions because you are not under pressure.

“Most importantly, it allows my brain to think creatively and objectively on issues that have either arisen during the morning or remain unresolved/ongoing. I find this daily habit to greatly improve my afternoon productivity.”

Make it a regular habit to utilize these moments and your daily output will greatly improve.
