Episode Details

As an entrepreneur, you probably realize that at any given time, there are probably 100 things you could be doing for your business, but as Mark explains, only a few things you should be doing. How do you figure out what to work on? What is the next right thing in your business? There’s a process (isn’t there always?) to determine what that ‘right thing’ is, and how to identify the six areas you should focus on.  The next step is allocating your tasks based on those criteria. In this episode, you’ll discover exactly what you should be doing next and that will help you build a business that is no longer reliant on you.
