Getting Projects Done

When you want something bigger than a task done, something that will take longer than a couple days, you are getting into a project.

The main secret to success is to properly define the project. It is amazing how hard it is to complete something where you don’t know what it is suppose to look like!

So what does success look like? Define it. Is it a new product release with all marketing materials. Is it a new service as a business profit center? Is it increased profit margins for existing products or services? Are we changing the company culture? Is it a combination of several of these? Focus by defining what success will look like.

Focusing on defining success will motivate you to do break down the step of a project, overcome the problems that will, stay with a project until completion, and enjoy the fruits of success from getting projects done.
