You’re only as successful as your performance today. Know why? Because the better your productivity, the more you get done. And the more you get done, the faster your business grows. Not to mention the fact that if you can get all of your work done in 6 hours instead of 12, you now have 6 more hours in which you can either play or grow your business even larger.

No matter what you’re doing, if you’re productive you’re not only building your business – you’re also gaining confidence. And studies show you’re also happier. After all, what feels better – relaxing at the end of a day in which you accomplished nothing, or a day in which you did everything you set out to do?

One more thing about being productive – the faster you get a task done, the more likely you are to want to do that task again. For example, if it takes you 3 hours to write one article, the next time you want to write an article you’re going to be sorely tempted to procrastinate because you remember what a long, tedious, arduous process it was for you last time. But if you can crank out an excellent article in 15 minutes, then the next time you write an article you’ll be enthusiastic and ready to jump in with both feet.
