The same mantra of environmentalists is a good one to follow when you are looking to build your business.
Reduce
If you are like me, you have a long list of goals to accomplish. Cut the list down to one or two goals, plans or desires. Keep it simple and manageable. Focus your energy on achieving a single goal and see what happens. When you reduce a sauce, it becomes rich and refined. Do the same for your goals and see the richness it can bring to your life!
Reuse
We are a consumer-based society constantly bombarded with new and improved items to buy and products or services to engage. Everything is available in a "newer" model, and often just days or weeks after we have purchased, the "next big thing" is announced!
Take stock of what has worked for you in the past, whether it is a sales strategy or a weight loss program. You don't need to reinvent your approach. Rather, learn to recognize the products, programs or services that support your desires and goals and look at how you can enhance or utilize those more effectively.
Don't discard what’s been tried and true for the next shiny, new option. Invest in reusing effective strategies for your everyday life and business.
Recycle
In business, we are often looking to develop new relationships and expand our networks with potential customers or business partners. This could be new friends, a new gym buddy or tennis partner.
Dig out that Rolodex and look at who you already know, who have you lost touch with, who would you love to see again and reach out. We are frequently looking to build new relationships when we already know people who can enrich and enhance our lives.
It can take eight to 12 touches just to start a new relationship. It takes just one phone call to reconnect with someone. Recycle those friendships, whether personal or professional. Replacing them takes much more work!
Reduce Reuse Recycle to save time, energy and money and see your life simplified and enriched!
