Yours Efficiently

The Small and Medium Entrepreneur has direct contact with his market, full control over his production and employees, understands all the moving parts of his setup and has a great vision. However, the vision lacks execution. The lack of execution is not due to the lack of conviction in the vision, but mostly due to prioritization. Below is an adaptation of Stephen Covey’s time management matrix for a typical entrepreneur showing disproportionate focus on tasks that are important, but have become urgent only because they were not addressed properly at origin. The more time spent on these tasks, the more the anxiety, the more the uncertainties, the more are the opportunities for slips.
