How to be a high performance producer

High performance producers get things done.

When you think of someone who is a high performance producer what do you think of?

Do you think of a movie producer? Someone who produces performances?Or do you think of a person who gets a lot done, reaches their goals and is basking in success?

I hope you thought of the latter.

As a business owner, your goal is to be a high performance producer. As in being uber productive, knocking your actions out of the park toward your continued success.

Success is not an end all, be all. It is ever evolving.

I’ve worked with business owners who define success as when they reach a certain number of clients, or make a certain amount of money.

These are not bad goals. They are actually really good goals. Because they always put a specific number on their goals and a timeline to reach them.

So, yes, in essence, they are successful.

But a high performance producer is someone who doesn’t end when they reach their goals. 

They are constantly evolving both personally and professionally. They define business success as the ability to keep the needle moving forward, to keep elevating themselves to excel. To get to the next level and keep going.

Notice that last sentence. It’s to keep going, not to stay there.

Steps to becoming a high performance producer.

In order to keep yourself excelling in your life and your business. You need to keep going.

To do that you have to have your plans laid out before you. The vision, actions and timeline for where you are and where you are going. 

Lots of business owners forget to think past the next week or month. To have your ongoing, evolving success you need to have a plan laid out for the short-term, mid-term and long-term.

By doing that you have the road map for what you will do and when.

Let’s take a brief look at what that looks like:

• Do an assessment: Where are you, where do you want to go, how do you want to get there. What opportunities do you have available to you now and in the future? What obstacles do you see that may get in your way?
• Create the vision: Knowing where you want to go, when do you see yourself getting there? What do you need to do in order to get there? Who do you have to become? What do you need to put into place? Lay everything out, all the pieces – this part may take you the longest.
• Plan and lay it out: Start with the end in mind and back track. What do you need to do to begin to move forward? Think what comes first, second, third and so on. Create a timeline and begin working on your first piece and keep moving toward your end goal.
• Reflect and course correct:  Build in times to review your vision and plan to see if you are on track or need to make some shifts and changes. At this point, you will go back to vision and then to plan. You also can go back and assess at any point to keep you on track.

Having a plan that is laid out cleanly and clearly helps you stay focused on your goals and enable you to become a high performance producer.
