How To Work Less And Earn More - Adrian Fleming
http://AdrianFleming.com
Time is never on your side, but that shouldn’t stop you from making more with less, that way you can choose how you want to spend your time rather than be in a position where you have to do something, which is not good as an entrepreneur.
Tip 1.
Do something where you are not paid for your time.
People get caught up in the concept of an hourly rate, this is a way to try and commoditise you but this is a very silly way to buy or sell. For example what I can do in an hour is very different to what other people can do, in an hour of my time on marketing or entrepreneurial strategy I can deliver serious value but in other areas I’m just not, “a good fit’ for example DIY, yes I can do it and if I have to I’m neat and tidy, but I’m not fast and so my productivity is low. By the way I don’t enjoy DIY so don’t even ask, in fact a good friend of mine who’s an electrician jokes that I try and fix everything with a hammer which is not far from the truth in some circumstances.
Do what you do well and put a value on the job, not the hours, this way you can work less and earn more.
Tip 2.
Don’t tray and do too much
People make the mistake of getting organised by using a list, which is on a basic level fine, but when the list gets long the chances are it will actually slow you down and cause you to procrastinate. I find the best possible way to manage things is to set out a “To Do List” of no more than three things at a time and base these things on what I can deliver on fast, then create a new list.
Now I get that it’s not always this straight forward but you will be surprise that if you use a simple, list of only 3 things and block out as many other distractions until they are done, like email and phone calls, then you really do much more in less time and this means you work less and earn more.
Tip 3.
Stop focusing success and start defining desired outcomes
If you set yourself a goal or specific set of criteria that define success or failure then you are likely to get frustrated and disheartened from time to time. What I like to do is set a desired outcome and look at small results as I move towards that outcome, let me give you and example relative to working less and earning more.
If you have a customer and they have an expectation based goals or a specific set of success criteria it will be hard to measure the true value of something, for example if you set out a budget for Facebook Ads and your goal is 1,000 new leads in the next 7 days then this is good in so much as you have metrics and a deadline, but it’s far from serving your customer well.

Entrepreneurs live in the present
I wanted to share my learnings and life experience being a serial entrepreneur. I want to inspire all of us to keep pushing, keep doing what we love. The entrepreneurial spirit is in each of us. We must find it and explore it.

Hello, I’m Adrian Fleming, I’ve lived in the US too and work with people from places as far away as China, India, Romania and plenty of other countries too, and there’s a single rule that applies in all of these places that I’d like you to use to get better results, not just on a business level but a personal one too, I’m sure you’ve heard it before too, but maybe not applied it to every situation where you come in to contact with other people. So what phrase sums this up that you’ve probably heard before, that I want to help you apply in to other areas too? It’s “People buy form those they Know, Like and Trust”
Let’s just start with the logic, because no matter what language people speak and how they live, this is a great guiding principle, it’s also far more powerful in areas outside of sales. http://adrianfleming.com/know-like-trust/
Let’s keep it simple and just say, if people don’t know who you are then how can you communicate with them?
Second, if you don’t like somebody then spending time with them is not enjoyable and neither party gets the most out of the relationship.
And last but not least, trust is critical in more than just sales, you wouldn’t take advice from somebody you didn’t trust, you wouldn’t be friends with somebody you didn’t trust. Trust is about keeping your work, adding value to those you have any sort of relationship with. Trust is not just beneficial it’s essential. http://adrianfleming.com/know-like-trust/
Now I’m hearing you say, figuratively speaking, that you have bought from people you didn’t really like because you have little or no option and that you may know a few people you are not 100% sure you can trust, but in each case it hardly makes for the best relationship, and life is about relationships, whether you are buying, selling, learning, teaching, working or anything else you might do.
So a simple strategy to help others know like and trust you is a really good skill in marketing and being an entrepreneur for two reasons, one you can build and foster relationships but two, you can actually repel those who are not a good fit and not have to waste time, money and effort on them, so let me give you one of my strategies so you can apply and profit fro it immediately.
The strategy is Story Telling, it’s how we have communicated for centuries, from the days of cave paintings, through to Shakespeare and today through all the media channels we have at our disposal. http://adrianfleming.com/know-like-trust/
