Are you wasting your resources?

No one intentionally wastes their own time, money or opportunities. Yet it’s common knowledge that a lot of new gym memberships will languish unused, despite the spectacular success stories of those who make good use of them. For many people, good intentions are overwhelmed in the day-to-day flow of activities and information, and the result is that something with a tremendous potential for success gets lost in the shuffle.

We would never willingly let this happen in our business. But we know that from social networking options and innovative technology products to the latest marketing tools, somewhere in the flow of new information we encounter every day there are great business ideas that we could be taking advantage of. Sooner or later, we’ll read that they were the key to a business success, and we’d prefer that the success be in our business.

The resource that could be the key to a new growth phase for your business may have already crossed your radar recently. When you think about increasing productivity and profits in the coming year, consider the resources you have access to but haven’t taken advantage of yet. Are there products and services that you’ve been telling yourself you will investigate further when you have time? A terrific opportunity for building your business may be waiting for your attention.

If you have a good working relationship with someone who has been suggesting that you consider a new product or service, it’s time to follow up. Your prospects for the coming year go up exponentially when you build on previous successes and relationships of trust.

"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves."
Thomas Edison

People—whether they are the hidden talents of those already in your ranks or the ones you have yet to hire—are at the top of the list of resources you can’t afford to miss out on. When you make the most of the resources you’ve got, you make this a stand out year for your organization.
