defined
It’s about going

from this...
…to this!
Work to a deadline.
Nothing motivates human beings like a looming
deadline. We are all, at heart, natural
procrastinators. To move an item up your to-do
list urgency scale, self-impose an artificial
deadline.

Make it 24
hours.
“Just having
satisfied
customers isn’t

anymore.

a booming
business, you
have to create
Raving
Fans.” - Ken Blanchard
AND HERE’S WHY RULE OF 24! MATTERS…We
need to blow our prospects, influencers and clients
away. Speed is the single best tool to do that in our
business. Clients have given up expecting it. When we
begin consistently doing it, they will reward us with
additional business.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY. Ken Blanchard, in Raving


Fans, says you have to create a system to ensure that
you are fast 100% of the time. You can’t just be pretty
good most of the time and occasionally blow them
away. You have to earn trust by demonstrating that
you always provide lightning fast response. Turning
each step of the process around in 24 hours is the
system.

REDUCE STRESS.

DELAYS CAUSE STRESS. No-one likes being stuck waiting for


clients to give you the missing information. If it goes on for two
extra weeks it just adds to your frustration. You get your manager
on your back asking for updates. Also, when we’re supposed to get
back to a prospect/influencer and we don’t do it right away,the
guilty stress starts to pile up each day that passes. What if there
was a way to squish that waiting period down to less than a day
most of the time?

SUCCESS KILLS STRESS. Imagine ploughing through 3 months


worth of activity in one month. How good would that feel? How
much time would that free up for you? What could you do with the
time you’ll save?

When you prioritize and
control your calendar you
get more done in less time.
And your mind doesn’t take
home lingering unfinished
business. You can focus on
what matters most – family.
