The classic notion in the business world is that you only need two resources to keep going: money and time. That may well be true. Only if you don\u2019t value the third resource that\u2019s been responsible for your sustained drive: energy. It\u2019s what kept you going despite you realizing it.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, energy takes many forms. It can be the expendable physical energy that you have. But it can also be spiritual energy, psychological energy, and emotional energy. You can re-fuel all of these energy types, but without them, you won\u2019t be able to make use of your time or money wisely. So how do you harness your energy\u2019s power?<\/span><\/p>\n Use Your Time Wisely<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Sure, you can manage your time, but doesn\u2019t that mean that you also get to do everything in a given day? What you can do to conserve your energy is to delegate. Identify high-level tasks that you alone can do. Delegate the rest. It\u2019s a common mistake among entrepreneurs to do everything when they should be spending their energy on one important thing: getting the business known out there.<\/span><\/p>\n So use your energy for the right purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n Create an Energy Budget<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, there are things in your business that you just can\u2019t delegate. Meetings and conferences is one of them. But if you find that a single meeting exhausts you, then don\u2019t make it a point to schedule a series of meetings in one day. Doing so defeats the purpose of you saving energy to do something equally important on that day. If your energy is consumed on those meetings, you won\u2019t have enough to last the rest of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n Solve the Problem<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n What most people do is that they solve problems in their businesses one incident at a time. The problem with this approach is that it doesn\u2019t necessarily address the root of all these problems. So instead of regularly changing systems, processes, or re-assigning staff, why don\u2019t you zero in on the root cause and implement a definitive solution? Don\u2019t settle for quick fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The classic notion in the business world is that you only need two resources to keep going: money and time.
