1. PREPARATION

by Gavriel Shaw

A Business Edge article reported that only 35% of business owners felt they have their work and personal life in balance.

That means 65% feel their life needs an adjustment.

61% of the same people would spend an extra hour a day with their personal matters if they could find the etra hour – rather than another hour at work.

Other interesting stats:

33% of entrepreneurs feel the most neglected task in their business is new client lead generation

25% feel that administrative work is the most time draining task

We all can relate to the experience of up early… a whole lot of rushing around… but never enough done… and then to bed too late… only for a repeat performance the next day.
