66: Your Calendar Is Telling on You

Tell me what matters most in your business.

Now show me your calendar.

Do the two answers match?

Entrepreneurs often say sales, customers, strategy, leadership, and growth are priorities. But when those priorities receive no protected time, urgent work has a way of taking over.

In Episode 66 of Tagline, Dr. Tonika Bruce challenges business owners to stop judging priorities by what they intend to do and start looking at what their calendars reveal.

In about three minutes, you will learn why important work needs protected time, how an overloaded calendar can expose competing priorities, and one simple way to make your schedule reflect what your business actually needs.

Monday Challenge: Review the next seven days on your calendar. Ask what an outsider would believe matters most based only on your schedule. Then protect one block of time for the activity your business most needs from you.

If it matters to the business, give it a place on the calendar.
