In the beginning of his career at RE/MAX, Dave Liniger admits he struggled to manage a quickly growing business. After decades of running a successful global company, he now offers practical wisdom for unlocking the power of productivity that can be applied to all walks of life. Time management is really about organization. Business owners should find systems that work for them to keep information organized. Dave utilizes the 4D theory: dump distractions, delegate tasks, delay when necessary, and do the most prioritized action items. Another helpful strategy for increasing productivity is to document how you spend your time in a day. Evaluate the percentage of time dedicated to actions that make money versus mundane tasks. Set goals to prioritize what generates revenue for your business and create a daily to-do list. Finally, commit to taking small steps that will help you achieve the goals you set for yourself and your team. Patience and dedication create lasting change for those willing to put in the work.
