One thing that I tell my clients is that as an entrepreneur, your time is your money; so, use it wisely. You can use it to be productive – planning, marketing, networking, making a sale – or you can flat-out waste it. I recall one situation when my client told me that he had not done the tasks he’d agreed to get done before our meeting. My response was, “We can do it together right now.” We had an hour scheduled for the meeting so why not roll up our sleeves and get it done.
It may seem odd to some that as a business coach, I would prod a client to maximize their time with me by focusing on the tasks at hand. After all, the more hours I work with them, the more money I make. But that’s not who I am. My job is to help my clients become successful business owners. I would not be doing my job if I allowed you to slack. Not on my watch!
