| | Are you a DIYer? (Do It Yourself)
This past summer I attended my 25th High School Reunion. It was a great weekend full of opportunities to reconnect with old friends. We retold stories from our past lives and told new stories of our lives since High School. When I told friends about my book (6 Simple Steps to Building a Better Workforce) I heard all sorts of negative attitudes toward Building a Better Workforce:
"I'll tell you how to build a better workforce, just get rid of everybody. You're better off doing it yourself."
I can certainly understand why so many people share that sentiment. Honestly, what was your reaction to that statement?
Well I am here to tell you that you are not better off doing it yourself. It may seem like the best short-term solution, but it is also the biggest cause to long-term, deep seeded problems.
For starters, the more things you do yourself, the less leverage you have and the more you risk losing in the event something happens to you.
Think about that. If you decided you were better off doing everything yourself, what happens when you get sick? I am not even talking about an emergency. Even a minor illness can impact your productivity. You may "work through it" but your illness is likely to last longer than if you simply listened to your body and took a day off.
Has that ever happened to you? Has your business ever suffered because you, or a family member has had a minor illness?
The fact is very few of us have created enough leverage to overcome every emergency. However, leverage is one of the key elements of wealth creation. In order to create wealth, you must be able to separate your work from your productivity. There is a direct link to this ratio. One very important aspect of wealth is determined by the production to wealth equation.
Great wealth comes from the highest levels of production with the least amount of effort.
OK! Let me repeat that.
Great Wealth = High Levels of Productivity + Low levels of effort.
You will not achieve true wealth until you acknowledge that equation.
So let me ask you a question. Do you still think you're better off doing it yourself?
Don't go it alone. Call me or Send Me an Email and let's talk about strategies that can help you start experiencing wealth today.
