Work at Home Productivity Tips –

Have you heard about Kaizen?

Are you wondering what it is?

Kaizen is a Japanese word that means the principal of continued improvement.

This principal is applied, sometimes in small ways, every single day. 

Does it sound like something that you should be thinking seriously about in your business?

DO YOU DO COMPOUND INTEREST? 

Do you 'do' compound interest in your bank account?

If not, I'm sure you'd like to! We all know how much it all adds up.

Kaizen is something like that only it can be applied to any area of your life, including your business.

I like the idea so much that I've added a daily Kaizen task to my daily plan.

HOW CAN KAIZEN MAKE ME MORE PRODUCTIVE?

Applying the principal of Kaizen to your business, and your life will make you more productive for two reasons – it will give you automatic focus, and it will empower you to focus on the right things.

Just thinking of it makes it clear that in this mode, a person could do great things.

ADD A NEW KAIZEN TIME BLOCK TO YOUR DAY – STARTING TODAY

If you set aside a bit of time every day to work on something that will make your business structure, your customer service, your products or your marketing a little better than it was yesterday, then you will be focused on doing something that will show results, be they large or small.

I got this idea from Tony Robbins book Awaken the Giant Within.

Tony points out that Dr. W. Edwards Deming, the man who brought Kaizen to Japan said that Kaizen is "a living, breathing process of never-ending improvement." 

I've been reading every morning for about 45 minutes before I do anything else.

It has literally been changing my outlook for the day because every day I choose one take away to focus on for the day.

Today it was Kaizen.

In fact, you could call the act of reading a good, personal development book like Awaken the Giant Within, every day, AND applying at least one principal daily, to be Kaizen.

Don't waste anytime getting started on this one, it's a biggie and can be life – or business – changing.
