Amplify Your Business Results by Cutting 1 Common Wasteful Habit

Business is about two main things:

Patience and focus.

And early on, I had neither.

I wanted to “succeed” so much that I tried just about anything to win. Every new shiny object caught my attention. Over time, I had so much shine that I became blinded by my efforts. I was focused on so many things that I became mediocre at many and great at nothing.

The lesson:

You have to focus on the few things that matter most.

The purpose of a company is to improve the customer’s life in some meaningful way.

Every company must try to deliver the highest value to the customer, no matter what service or product is being sold.

Achieving this requires removing all non-value-added activities and consistently delivering more value daily.

Joshua Schultz recommends focusing on value-added time as a “golden metric.”
