Getting it Done

Top Projects List         

The Top Project List can help you get things done and keep you from being overwhelmed.  The Top Projects are the FEW projects that you and your team will FOCUS on NOW to help you accomplish your Goals. 

Look over the “A” Priority Goals on the Goal sheet in the Setting Sight section of your Biz Plan Binder.  What actions, projects, “to do's” will help you accomplish those Goals?   The items on your Master To Do List may inspire you as to what needs to be done to move you to your Goals. 

Remember the saying, " How do you eat an elephant? " ”  The answer is, of course, One bite at a time.” 

The next question may be, "Where do I start?"” 

The answer, "It really doesn't matter!"”

What should your Top Projects be?  Gather input from your team.  Justify each one by asking:  Is this moving us toward our Goals?  Is this project helping us make more sales?  More profits?  Is this the best use of our time and energy at this moment? 

Examples:  Your Top Projects could be:

• Completing your Marketing Calendar for the next six months.
• Developing Procedures for the Salespeople.
• Creating your Position Descriptions.
• Revising your Budget for this year.  

Would you like help putting together your Top Projects List?  Ask your team members for their input.  However, the final decision is yours.  Put no more than ten projects on the Top Projects list.  For another project to make it to the Top Projects list, one project has to get done and moved off the list. 

Store a copy of your Top Projects List in the Getting it Done section of your Biz Plan Binder.
