Set Your To-Do List Down and Look at this To-Be List

Every book and blog on productivity tells us to create a to-do checklist for every day. These are very important for the freelancer, yet I think a more subtle and important truth is being lost. The quality of the “person” making and executing the to-do check list is more important than the list itself.

In business I believe we would be better off reading books about men and women of character who made their marks on the world, rather than the latest flash-in-the-pan “bestseller” that claims to explain a no-cost solution to instant riches via social media marketing.

I offer the snippets in this infographic as nothing more than a beginning. Use them as a quick yardstick against which you can measure your strengths and weaknesses. Other important qualities may occur to you.
