or the 80/20 rule, John explains that in order to grow your revenues and profits you CANNOT allocate the same amount of time to all of your business activities.
“Suppose your business has 50 different activities, such as sales, marketing, operations, finance, research, customer service and so on. According to the Pareto Principle, 20 percent of those activities will generate 80 percent of your revenues. Conversely, 80 percent of those activities will generate only 20 percent of your revenues. Doing the math shows that 10 out of the 50 activities will produce four-fifths of all the income your business generates.
Now, assume that your business takes in $100,000 a month. According to the Pareto Principle, 10 of your 50 activities would account for $80,000 of your monthly revenue, which works out to $8,000 per activity. Conversely, 40 of the activities would produce only $20,000 each month, which pencils out to a paltry $500 per activity. Sixteen times 500 equals 8,000, so your top 10 revenue-producing activities are 16 times more effective than the bottom 40.
Suppose you took it even further and moved the 80/20 ratio to 90/10, so that only 10 percent of your activities produced 90 percent of your revenues. That would make you 81 times more effective than you currently are. Merely by focusing your time and attention on the five or ten activities that have the highest impact on your business, you can increase your revenues and income by 16 to 81 times!

Imagine this; you are deep in thought, tackling an important project, you are in the zone - then…’ding’…the echoing sound of your email inbox, that’s right, you’ve got mail. Your thought process screeches to a hault, your mind shifts, you think ‘nah, I’ll check it later’, but what if it’s important? What if it is crucial information? Or, what if it’s an amazing discount offer from your favorite online retailer…? Doesn’t matter, you’ve now lost focus on the task at hand and reach for the mouse. How many times does this occur throughout your day? I bet it happens often enough, that if you added up all of the diversion of time wasted you could calculate that into money lost.
Test: Take an egg timer and set it for 1 hour. If you can go a whole hour without checking your email, you’re fine. If you start having a nervous breakdown and can’t go just 1 hour without checking that precious inbox, you’ve got problems.
I recently listened to a great interview John Assaraf
did with ‘The Productivity Pro’, Laura Stack, in which she states you should check your email no more than 4 times a day. “Checking your inbox any more than that is just a fancy way to procrastinate”, says Stack. She continues to add that most people use their email as a ‘to do’ list causing them to alter their focus and thought patterns which results in a high level of inefficiency in the workplace.
Follow Laura Stack’s 6 D’s just 4 times a day so you can maintain focus, maximize productivity, and increase your bank account!
Discard / Delete; You can quickly decide whether a message is junk, spam, information that does not need to be kept.
Delegate it; Give it to someone to handle, a partner, staff member, or employer - then move it to a personal folder in your email application.
Do it; Ask yourself ‘can I reply right this second?’ get it off your plate and be done with it - then delete it.
Date it; Can’t reply right now? don’t just leave it in your inbox! Convert it to a ‘to do’ or ‘task’ in the email application and then move it to a folder.
Drawer; This email doesn’t require any action, but needs to be saved - simply move it into a folder in your email application.
Deter; Why do I keep getting this? Unsubscribe, block, set up a rule to automatically move it into a folder.
These simple steps will save you time, money and most importantly - your sanity. Remember, the way you do anything is the way you do everything. You must change your actions if you want to change your results.

That was the overall theme last weekend at the Mind, Marketing and Millions small business conference in Marina Del Rey, hosted by OneCoach International - in uncovering the 3 essential ways to grow any business and triple revenues;
The challenge most small business owners face, is that they don’t know what they don’t know - so they end up focusing on just one of these ways…can you guess which one? Yep, attracting more clients. Which turns out to be the most expensive way to grow a business.
This past weekend, while a majority of Angelinos were spending their time working IN their business - some 200+ LA small business owners filled the Marriott in Marina Del Rey to spend time working ON their business and tripling their revenues.
