Self Storage Tip - 💡 💰 🤑

I really respect this man -

Bedros Keuilian … Hes an unbelievable business man and drops words of wisdom! 🤩

One of the things he says is -

“Play in your zone of genius” 

“We have 3 task buckets 

Bucket 1 -

• Stuff you love to do 

Bucket 2 -

• Stuff you don’t mind doing 

Bucket 3 -

• You’d rather pull your nails off than do this stuff 

As a business owner you need to hire out buckets 2 and 3 

You need to be spending your time doing stuff you love and lights you up 

Spend 80% of your time in bucket 1

Spend 10% of your time in bucket 2 

Spend 10% of your time in bucket 3

Remember you don’t have to be great or even good at everything”

I LOVE THIS 💪

There are things im really good at and there are LOTS things that im really poor at! 

Here are my buckets 🤔 (and to be honest, I probably spend less than 10% in buckets 2 and 3)

BUCKET 1 

Im really good at finding new sites … creating content (Ha you may disagree 😅) …. Numbers, Conversions, Targets, Goals and Accounts 

These are all my bucket 1 … I LOVE them and they energise me 

This is where I bring most value to the company and this is where I spend almost all of my time  

BUCKET 2 

For me is organisation …Im so disorganised its untrue … 

If I get a parking fine, someone else has to pay it for me, I just forget 😳 

That is bucket 2 … I have people to help at that stuff so it gets taken off my plate

BUCKET 3 

Im really poor at admin … Just ask the team at Store More

I hate admin, so that’s definitely a bucket 3 task … I outsource it

Buckets 2 and 3 I am honestly terrible at  … If you saw the destruction I leave behind when I attempt these tasks it would shock you … You certainly wouldn’t look up to me and you would question how im running a company with an ETBITDA of over £500,000 😅

Haha … I stay in my area of genius and so should you 

What is your area of genius ? What’s in your Buckets 1, 2 and 3 ?? 🤔

Hit reply and let me know … I am genuinely interested in what are your buckets
