Podcasts about put first things first

This Podcast Is Episode 610, And It's About Practical Applications Of A Must-Read Book Into Your Small Business It's amazing how some books stand the test of time. We usually refer to one of our most recommended, Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when we mentor our contractor clients and employees. Although it was first published three decades ago, its lessons are still incredibly relevant for business owners. You might wonder – how these habits fit into today's landscape of changing trends, tight deadlines, and constant distractions. The short answer is that they're timeless because they focus on principles that help you stay grounded while growing your construction business.   Below, we'll break down some of Covey's key habits and explore how you can bring them to life in your business today. Think of this as your blueprint for thriving in the chaos, not just surviving it.   1. Be proactive – the power of owning your choices   Covey's first habit, "Be Proactive," is about owning your life and decisions. For business owners, this means focusing on what you can control instead of stressing about what you can't.   Here's the thing about being reactive—it's debilitating. Complaining about a slow economy or frustrated customers doesn't solve anything, but switching to a proactive mindset is a game changer.   Anticipate potential challenges before they become disasters. For instance, if team morale starts to dip, address it early with open communication or team-building initiatives. Focus on solutions, not problems. Instead of dwelling on a client who backed out, consider what adjustments in your sales process could improve retention. Teach your team the same mindset. An empowered team that problem-solves proactively is a considerable asset.   Proactive leadership doesn't just keep you afloat; it helps you adapt and innovate in a competitive landscape.   2. "Begin with the end in mind" - set clear goals   This one often hits deep because how many rush into a workday without a clear direction? Covey's second habit reminds us to define our goals before taking action.   If you're running a business, you have to think long-term. What kind of company culture are you building? What legacy do you want to leave behind? Once you're clear on those things, aligning your daily tasks and decisions with the bigger picture becomes easier.   Create a vision statement that both you and your team can rally behind. Before launching a new service, ask, "What does success look like?" and "How does this align with our core mission?" Use goal-setting frameworks like OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to ensure everyone in the business knows where they're headed.   Think of this habit as your compass. Without it, you're likely to work hard but still feel lost.   3. Put first things first – manage your time   Quick question – how often do you find yourself buried in "urgent" tasks, only to acknowledge at the end of the day that you didn't touch what's important? That's where Covey's third habit, "Put First Things First," shines. It's all about distinguishing between urgent and truly important, then acting accordingly.   Use Covey's Time Management Matrix. Focus on tasks that fall into Quadrant II – essential but not urgent (strategic planning, team development, or building new partnerships). Delegate or eliminate tasks that don't move the needle. Not everything deserves your attention. Start each day by asking yourself, What's my biggest priority? If I do nothing else today, what task absolutely must get done?   When you focus on what truly matters, you'll feel less like you're playing catch-up and more like you're moving forward.   4. Think win-win – building mutually beneficial relationships   Business isn't a zero-sum game. Covey's fourth habit, "Think Win-Win," pushes us to find solutions that benefit everyone involved—clients, employees, and business partners. It's the foundation of trust and collaboration.   Negotiate with empathy. During discussions, consider the other party's needs and goals and find a compromise that works for everyone. For your team, create opportunities where employees feel empowered and valued. A win-win work culture keeps talent engaged. Innovate with your customers in mind. Ask how you can provide more value to them – and watch how that mindset leads to loyalty and referrals.   Win-win isn't always the easiest route, but it pays off in the long run.   5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood – empathetic communication   Have you ever been in a meeting where everyone is talking, but no one is actually listening? Covey nailed it when he discussed the importance of understanding others before getting your point across.   Empathetic communication is one of the most valuable tools for construction business owners. Whether with a frustrated client or a team member struggling with workload, truly listening builds trust and clarity.   Pause during tough conversations and fully grasp the other person's perspective before responding. Use active listening techniques like paraphrasing or asking thoughtful follow-up questions. Encourage this habit in your team to strengthen collaboration and reduce misunderstandings. The better your communication, the stronger your relationships – and a thriving business is built on great relationships.   6. Synergize   Combine the strengths of diverse team members to achieve innovative solutions. In construction, this can mean leveraging the unique skills of various trades to enhance project efficiency. Encourage collaboration through joint problem-solving sessions, where team members can share ideas and work together on challenges. The combined efforts of a well-coordinated team can lead to exceptional results.    7. Sharpen the Saw   Invest in the ongoing development of yourself and your team. This includes professional training, certifications, and wellness initiatives to ensure everyone functions at their best. Encourage a culture of continuous improvement through workshops and skill-building exercises. Regularly reassessing and refining processes keeps your business adaptive and innovative in a competitive market.   What makes "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" priceless for construction business owners today? Its focus is on principles over trends. Trends come and go, but these habits ground you in what truly works – proactive leadership, clear goals, thoughtful planning, and fostering meaningful relationships.   Adapting these habits to your daily life won't happen overnight, but even small shifts can create momentum. Pick one habit to focus on this week, cultivate a proactive, goal-oriented, collaborative environment, and see how it transforms your leadership and business growth.   Remember, no matter how fast the business world moves, the principles in this book will always hold relevance. They don't just make you more effective – they make you a better leader, decision-maker, and collaborator. So whether you need an excellent book or a knowledgeable bookkeeper, we are here to help.

Chapter 1:Summary of First Things First"First Things First" is a self-help book by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill, published in 1994. It builds on the principles established in Stephen Covey's earlier book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," focusing especially on Habit 3: "Put First Things First." The core premise of the book is about managing one's time and life through a framework that prioritizes the most important tasks, leading to a more satisfying and productive life.Here are the main concepts from "First Things First":1. Paradigm Shift: Covey challenges the traditional time management models that focus primarily on efficiency and getting more things done faster. Instead, he proposes a paradigm shift to focus on effectiveness—doing the right things and ensuring that one's values guide all actions.2. Four Quadrants: Central to the book is the Time Management Matrix which categorizes tasks into four quadrants based on urgency and importance:- Quadrant I: Urgent and important (crises, deadlines)- Quadrant II: Not urgent but important (planning, relationship building)- Quadrant III: Urgent but not important (interruptions, some calls)- Quadrant IV: Not urgent and not important (trivia, time wasters)Covey argues that focusing on Quadrant II activities is key to effective self-management as it involves doing things that help build a balanced, fulfilling life in alignment with one's deeper values.3. Vision and Values: The authors emphasize the importance of defining a personal vision and consistent values. This helps in prioritizing tasks in life ensuring that what you consider most important actually takes precedence in your day-to-day actions.4. Mission Statement: It encourages readers to create a personal mission statement that acts as a foundation for making major, life-directing decisions, as well as daily planning activities.5. Balance: Covey also talks about achieving a healthy work-life balance by assuring that your scheduling reflects personal and professional priorities while addressing physical, social, mental, and spiritual needs.6. Delegation: Covey discusses effective delegation, which isn't just about getting tasks off your plate; rather, it's about responsible empowerment—transferring tasks in a way that boosts growth for others.7. Synergy and Interdependence: Building on the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, the book suggests that working in tandem with others leads to better outcomes and more balanced life.The ultimate goal of "First Things First" is to move from a crisis management lifestyle, dominated by the urgent, to a values-driven management of time that focuses on accomplishing tasks that are truly important. By doing so, Covey argues we can achieve a greater sense of purpose and satisfaction in life.Chapter 2:The Theme of First Things First"First Things First" by Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill is a self-help book that expands upon the principles found in Covey's previous book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." Rather than focusing primarily on time management, "First Things First" emphasizes life management by prioritizing tasks that are both important and aligned with one's deeper values. Here's an exploration of key plot points (in the context of its non-fiction content), character development, and thematic ideas central to the book: Key Plot PointsWhile non-fiction and self-help books do not have a conventional plot, the structure of "First Things First" can be viewed as a journey or roadmap to attaining a more fulfilling and balanced life through effective prioritization. Major points in this journey include:1. Questioning Time Management: The authors challenge traditional notions of time management that emphasize...

Time Management and Emotional Awareness In this Episode: Habit 3: Put First Things First is about prioritizing and managing your time so that your most important tasks come first. This habit is the practical realization of Habits 1 and 2. Habit 1 says, “You are the creator. You are in charge.” Habit 2 is the first mental creation, based on imagination, the ability to envision what you can become. Habit 3 is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is about life management as well your purpose, values, roles, and priorities. What are “first things?” First things are those things you find of most worth. If you put first things first, you are organizing and managing time and events according to the personal priorities you established in Habit 2. Habit 3 encourages you to use time management and emotional awareness to work toward finding what's important to you and following through. It exercises your independent will, that powerful ability to be proactive and decide how you act rather than simply reacting to external forces.

This Podcast Is Episode 562, And It's About Improving Productivity And Leadership Mentality As A Contractor As a construction business owner, improving productivity is essential to your company's success. But you may often find yourself pulled in different directions by competing responsibilities. At some point, we all experience that.   Classifying tasks and tackling the most time-consuming ones can feel daunting. But why is it so hard for us to start – or even finish – seemingly insignificant tasks? Why do these tiny tasks become the bane of our existence, tempting us into procrastination limbo?    Let's explore why we get stuck on even the most minuscule duties and how that might hold us back. Understanding the psychology behind procrastination Procrastination plagues many people. It's a common problem that often leaves people feeling frustrated with themselves. But what if we could understand the psychology behind procrastination and use that knowledge to overcome it? At its core, procrastination is linked to negative emotions like stress, anxiety, and fear of failure. By avoiding or delaying a task, we temporarily alleviate these unpleasant feelings.  However, this relief is short-lived and ultimately only creates more stress. By being aware of this pattern and learning how to manage negative emotions, we can break free from the cycle of procrastination and become more productive. Breaking down the task into small, manageable parts When faced with a daunting task, it can feel overwhelming even to know where to start. However, the key is often found in breaking down the task into small, manageable parts. By dividing larger projects into smaller, more achievable tasks, we can focus our attention and energy on one step at a time, leading to a greater sense of progress and accomplishment.  Whether working on an estimate on a project or a personal goal, taking a moment to map out the necessary steps and tackle them individually can make all the difference in achieving success. So next time you're feeling stuck, take a breath and ask yourself: what's the next small step I can take? Using rewards as incentives to get started Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of extra motivation to get things done. That's where rewards can come in handy as an incentive to get started. Whether it's a tasty treat, a fun activity, or even some well-deserved relaxation time, a reward can give you that extra push to begin tackling a task.  Studies have shown that implementing a reward system can increase productivity and help you achieve your goals faster. So why not give it a try? Choose a reward that suits you and your task at hand, and see how much more motivated you feel to get started. Finding out what your specific procrastination triggers are Have you ever found yourself staring blankly at your to-do list, unable to muster the motivation to tackle any tasks? Identifying your procrastination triggers can be the key to overcoming it. Maybe certain types of tasks are more daunting to you, or you get easily distracted by social media or other forms of entertainment. Whatever it may be, pinpointing your personal procrastination triggers can help you create a strategy to combat them and finally get back on track.  Developing a plan and timeline for success Success isn't something that happens overnight. It requires careful planning and a well-thought-out timeline. Whether it's starting a business or working towards a personal goal, having a plan in place is essential.  The first step in creating a successful strategy is to define your goals and establish the time frame you want to achieve them. It's crucial to take the time to map out the smaller steps needed to reach your ultimate objective and assign realistic deadlines to each of them. Along the way, it's also essential to evaluate your progress regularly and make necessary adjustments to your timeline or plan. With a clear strategy and timeline in place, success is within reach. Planning to avoid distractions or delays In our fast-paced world, distractions seem to lurk at every corner. The constant buzz of notifications, the temptation to check social media, and the never-ending stream of emails can quickly derail our day. The solution? Planning to avoid these distractions and any potential delays. By setting clear goals, creating a schedule, and arranging your workspace in a way that helps you focus, you can reduce the distractions that come your way and stay on track toward achieving your objectives. With some forethought and discipline, you can turn your day from one filled with distractions and delays to one of focused productivity. Letting go of perfectionism and allowing yourself to make mistakes Perfectionism is a trait that can drive people to do their best, but it can also become an obstacle to personal growth. The constant pressure to achieve flawlessness can lead to fear of failure and deflection, ultimately limiting your potential. Accept that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process, and they give us experience and insight that we wouldn't get otherwise. Embracing imperfection requires a shift in mindset, but by acknowledging our flaws and being willing to make mistakes, we can move forward with confidence and creativity. How can this improve your Leadership Skills? Construction Companies have two basic leadership styles: wait until an urgent situation occurs and react like a firefighter or develop business processes that allow the company to respond calmly and direct resources and solutions to the issues like a traffic police officer on a sunny afternoon. Firefighter Leaders - Operate in one of three mental states: Going into a crisis Coming out of crises Waiting for a crisis Traffic Director - Leaders operate in one of four mental states: Preparing for new projects to appear Preventing projects from becoming an emergency Planning for implementation of current and future projects Empowering others and directing the flow of projects to completion and billing The Graph Below - Is similar to the diagram shown in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Habit 3: Put First Things First, by Stephen R. Covey, to demonstrate this principle. As illustrated in the Time Management Matrix above, we spend our time in one of four ways. This matrix defines activities as Urgent / Not Urgent / Important / Not Important.  In conclusion Ultimately, it is essential to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to overcoming procrastination. People are inherently different and have different needs and motivations regarding goal setting and habit formation. The key is to be patient with yourself and accept that change takes time. By determining which tasks are the most important to you and your construction business and scheduling your day based on those criteria, you can ease the pressure caused when you have a long list of activities to take care of.

During the service, Rev. Wendy shared about putting "first things first" means prioritizing the most important things in our lives, rather than getting bogged down by distractions or less important tasks. This habit encourages us to focus on what matters most, and to work on those things that will bring us closer to our goals and dreams.

“Manage from the left; lead from the right”  This week, I go over Habit 3 - put first things first from 7 Habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. Covey.  Habit 3 really gets into how you can practically put your two other habits into practice.  This Habit is about self-management which is a lot easier when you have your own mission statement and philosophy to follow. There are a lot of very good practical tips to help organize and plan your week, especially thinking about your week in terms of your roles in life. Habit 3 really helps pull habit 1 and 2 together in a very applicable way.

In this episode, Traci and Rob discuss Stephen Covey's 3rd habit of highly effective people: putting first things first.

Picture this: It's a long day. You're behind on notes. You're running late to see the next person and it just feels like the whole day is slipping away from you. And you're thinking, “What happened here and how am I going to dig myself out of this hole?” In this episode, we focus on time management and the self-reflection required to identify strategies for change. We need to take a hard look at what factors are causing us to run behind, because it's not as simple as like, ‘Oh, I'm just running late all the time.” If you've tried all the basic time management hacks, and it's not working, then it's not you! Those things aren't addressing the primary driver of your time management difficulty.  We share strategies for change using The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People as our framework of discussion. We focus on the first three habits today: #1 Be proactive, #2 Start with the end in mind, and #3 Put first things first.
