413. The one thing that is most important for you to do is probably the thing you least want to do
What is the difference between an urgent task and an important task? Do you know how to make that distinction? In episode 413 of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast, we examine why box owners and coaches tend to get distracted by the "shiny objects" that keep us from true success. In learning how to navigate this, we outline some key steps to take to not be pulled in by all the "drunk monkeys" that get thrown your way.
Write it down. Chunk it down. Triage.
Stop. Look around. Make a decision.

411. "Great businesses are predicated on building great teams."
Your number 1 priority should be to gain that next team member. The one who will give you back the time you need to actually grow your business, because you can delegate to them what you no longer need to do.
Eliminate, automate, delegate.
Before delegating, though, you need to be sure that you've eliminated every task that does not even need to be a part of your day or any of your other team member's days.
Tune in to the 411th episode of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast to hear our take on how to properly grow the right team. Our challenge for you this week is to write out a list of everything you do on any given day, and write next to each task either an "E", an "A" or a "D". Make sure that before you put a "D" next to a task, it shouldn't actually be an "E".
