Boost Your Productivity and Achieve Your Goals: Teach Yourself
by Matt Avery
We all have things we want to achieve, goals we want to reach, targets we want to hit. But how often do we find ourselves saying, 'If only there were more hours in the day' or simply 'I don't have time'?
Time Management, however, is dead. Productivity - getting more done in the time we have - is king. However productive you already are, you will find this book full of practical tips on how to achieve more in less time.
In the past few years alone the author, Matt Avery, has been running three businesses concurrently, as well as writing five books, and producing two musicals for the Edinburgh fringe. He is 'Mr Productivity' and in this book he shares his secrets.
From weighing up the pros and cons of jumping ship in the first place to establishing and maintaining a successful solo enterprise, this book is all you need to make the leap to working alone.
All aspects of setting up a new business are covered including:
- managing resources, time, clients etc.
- establishing good working practices and maintaining a desirable work/life balance for those who choose to work from home.
- getting the financial aspects right - one of the biggest pitfalls in going it alone.
- being a 'five to niner' - building up a business in your spare time while still employed.
Practical examples of best (and worst) practices are provided, gleaned from interviews with dozens of people from across the globe who are successful solo workers. Be your own Boss contains hundreds of relevant examples and genuine, tried and tested tips and practices which really work.
