Why Doing Isn’t Enough: How to Finally get your Business Running Smoothly.
When it comes to running a business, it’s easy to get caught up in the DOING. There’s always something that needs to be done, right? But here’s the kicker: if you dive straight into the doing without tackling the first two Ds, you’ll likely end up in a tangled mess of tasks, confusion, and frustration. 😅
So, let’s talk about the formula that makes your projects not just successful but stress-free:
The 3 Ds of Productivity
Decisions
Who in your business is calling the shots? Decisions about what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, how it’s going to get done, and who’s responsible are critical. Without clarity here, your team is left guessing—or worse, waiting for you to figure it out.Driving
Who’s steering the ship? The Driver ensures those decisions actually turn into action. They wrangle the moving pieces, keep the team on track, and make sure momentum doesn’t fizzle out.Doing
Ah, the part everyone focuses on. But here’s the truth: if the first two Ds aren’t solid, the Doing becomes chaotic. And even if things get done, it’s often through a frustrating, inefficient process that leaves everyone feeling drained.
Why the First Two Ds Matter So Much
As the CEO, your role isn’t to live in the weeds. Ideally, you’re making strategic decisions, not every minor decision. You’re setting the vision, not handling day-to-day logistics.
But here’s the challenge: many business owners get stuck in the Driver’s seat for too long. And that’s where bottlenecks start to form.
If you’re driving the ship and making all the decisions, you’ll eventually hit a wall. Decision fatigue is real, and when it sets in, it can stall your business’s growth—and your sanity.
