Project Management Made Easy MRR Ebook

Ebook Sample Content Preview:

I have been planning events and completing complex projects for years, and I consider myself to be a well-organized person. I even have lists for my lists! I use the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People; and I never go anywhere without my Franklin Covey® planner with Palm® Pilot attachment.

It was not until I accessed my potential limitations and followed the steps outlined in this book that I really began to complete task after task with the least amount of stress, setbacks or delays. This is coming from a person who early in my career was told by a manager, “Angela, you couldn't manage yourself out of a paper bag.” After all I have done to master the art of project management, all I can say is "How do you like me NOW?"

Everyone has the potential to complete a project. To what degree of completion is solely dependent upon the person managing the project. We may have physical or mental limitations, but it is usually the preconceived notions or subconscious thoughts we have about ourselves that limits us from completing a project to its fullest potential.

Take a look at the projects you have attempted to complete in the past and identify what was lacking or incomplete. Most likely, you will begin to see a trend or pattern that has been holding you back. Those are the potential limitations we are going to work to eliminate and/or counter these during the process. Let me give you a personal example of how I made a change in my project management process and became more successful.

Earlier in my career when I was doing seminars, I became fixated on attendance. It was so important to me how many people attended that I slacked on the content. I allowed my addiction to social acceptance cloud the true purpose of the event, which was to educate and create exposure for my company. That limitation prevented me from providing more seminars. As a result, I’ll never know the impact they would have had on my business growth.

I learned to counter that fixation by planning the event with a commitment to making the seminar educational and informative. Setting aside my own fears of social acceptance, I am committed to putting on a successful seminar even if there are only two or three in attendance. And strangely enough, as I started to focus less on myself and more on the actual content of the seminars, the attendance started to increase.

We all have these potential limitations. If, in your mind you are too busy, you will then begin to act out your life in a manner of someone is too busy. If you feel that you cannot harness the resources necessary to successfully manage a project without stress and angst, then you will always be stressed out while completing your tasks. That is called a self-fulfilling prophesy.
