3:45 (5-10 minutes) Opening: Stand Up-Sit Down - group activity Do you have a business “to-do” list? Is it in writing? Do you use a planning and scheduling tool? Does every item on your list have a priority number, letter or symbol? Does every item on your list have a deadline or an estimation of how long it will take you to do it? Is yours a 30-day list/plan? 90 days? 12 months (2010)? Round of applause for last Zees standing.

Debrief w/group 4:15 (5 min) What is YOUR time worth? Assuming you work 40 hours a week. Take your income and cross the 3 ending zeros off it. Now divide it by 2. This is your hourly income. For example, if you earned $50,000 a year, then taking the 3 zeros off is 50 and then dividing by 2 is 25. The hourly rate for $50,000 is $25. Select a task ---copying, data entry, delivering equipment. How long does it take you per week? Is it worth $50 - $100 of your time ? Could you delegate this job to others on your team at less of a cost to you? Delegation is about using your time more effectively for what is important to you.
