Jacqui says you need to start by working smarter, not harder. \u201cYes, finally \u2013 someone said it! Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019m not talking about delivering against deadlines or milestones in key projects. What I\u2019m talking about is NOT trying to change the face of your business every, single day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explains that so many entrepreneurs fall into the trap of creating \u2018To Do, Today Lists\u2019, most of which bleed into the next day and none of which actually move our businesses forward from a growth perspective. \u201cWhen you commit to doing the very least amount of work needed to move the needle, but you are relentless about doing that every day \u2013 before long, you will start seeing real and meaningful progress. It feels super counter-intuitive but trust me \u2013 this not only allows you to breathe and focus, but the ease of this commitment also empowers you to want to crack on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to do less and achieve more, Jacqui believes that you should only choose ONE thing a day. \u201cChoose the one thing that will have a significant impact on moving your business forward and commit to doing that. Resist the urge to make a 20-point list. For example, if you\u2019re trying to launch a new business and you want to kick off by creating your brand, that one thing is NOT, \u2018creating my brand\u2019 That\u2019s one thing with multiple things under it \u2013 from logo design, font and colour choice to vision, mission and values \u2013 too much \u2013 which is bound to y overwhelm you and lead to procrastination. Instead, your one thing should be, \u2018design logo\u2019. This is a straightforward task that is not only achievable in one day, but also has a real impact on your brand journey!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy breaking things down into single achievable steps and then ticking one step off every day \u2013 you are able to do more over a longer period by doing \u2018less\u2019 daily. It\u2019s like leveraging compound interest over time \u2013 only we\u2019re doing it with the net results of single deliberate actions taken daily! If you want to GROW BIG this year (and beyond), distill your action lists into single tasks then commit to ticking them off one by one, day by day. Before you know it, you will be reaping the rewards of deliberate, consistent action\u201d Jacqui concludes<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\" aria-current=\"page\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/the-secret-sauce-to-growing-a-big-lasting-business-do-less\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaqueline Raw, Owner and Founder of Ycagel After 2020\u2019s kick in the stomach and the subsequent impact that it had on business, there is no better time to reset and refocus on growing. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been trying to get your business unstuck and back into growth mode, but just can\u2019t quite get back into it, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":184493,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9021,1],"tags":[3257],"class_list":{"0":"post-184492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mypr","8":"category-south-africa","9":"tag-mypr","10":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/the-secret-sauce-to-growing-a-big-lasting-business-do-less.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
