The Power of One Hour

Today we had a legitimate partners meeting for the first time in weeks.  It was only for an hour and yet we were all able to complete more crap than we can usually do individually.

Because we devoted one single hour of an entire week in an office without interruptions.

It’s amazing how many times each of us tables an item on our “to-do” list because we need to confirm with one another.  Having everyone present allows us to bounce ideas off of each other, confer in real time, and push each other to meet deadlines and get shit done, rapidly increasing our productivity.

We’re always impatient for others to make moves and yet we often put off our own work.  Having partners is a great way to keep everyone in check, but only if everyone is being utilized properly.  Regular meetings need to happen in order to stay on page and they need to happen in a controlled environment.

Working at the restaurants leaves us open to constant distractions all day long.  We’re putting ourselves at the mercy of our business, letting our business control our lives.  This is our business and we should be controlling it.  Putting an hour on the schedule every week and sticking to it will radically change your world.

One hour a week.  That’s all it takes.  One hour of power.
