DESCRIPTION
We all live and die by our “to do” list. Absolutely everybody has one and they help prioritize whatever we need to be working on for that day. But almost just as important as a “to do” list is something that Ryan Lee had actually come up with, that is a “to don’t” list, which is everything that you will not do. If your “to do” list is everything that you will do in your business to generate revenue, traffic, and income, your “to don’t” list is everything you won’t do to generate money, income, and traffic. Try and figure out what those things are and then write them down.

Andrew here f or LeanMeanMarketing.com. In today’s video I’ve got a really cool internet marketing andbusiness tip f or you. Let’s get right to it.
We all live and die by our “to do” list. Absolutely everybody has one and they help priorit ize whatever we needto be working on f or that day. But almost just as important as a “to do” list is something that Ryan Lee hadactually come up with, that is a “to don’t” list, which is everything that you will not do. If your “to do” list iseverything that you will do in your business to generate revenue, traf f ic, and income, your “to don’t” list iseverything you won’t do to generate money, income, and traf f ic. Determine what those things are and listthem out.
Just identif ying these “don’t” items can have a tremendous impact on your business success now and in thef uture.
A great example f rom my own “to don’t” list is not to dealwith abusive customers. If we have a customer who isrepeatedly abusive, we will ref und and essentially suspendthat account so that we will not take f urther purchasesf rom them.
We will note that and the system that we have in place willprevent that credit card, PayPal account or email addressf rom making a purchase in the f uture. That decision to notaccept those customers was just a business decisionwherein we weighed the revenue that it generated versusthe hardship that it cost; and it wasn’t just worth it.
What you need to do now is to assess your own business,ethics and principles. Create your own “to don’t” list. Makea list, write it down, and put it right beside your “to do” list.If you need to update it, that’s f ine. What you can do asyou go along is that you can keep adding to it, addingdif f erent parts f or your business.
Just to quickly review, everybody has their “to do” list because of course, it ’s important. But just asimportant as the “to do” list is your “to don’t” list which is, once again, everything you will not do to makemoney, to generate revenue and, to build your business. These are the things you will not do.
money, to generate revenue and, to build your business. These are the things you will not do.
Make a list, write them down, and try to aim f or 5-10 things that are clear and objective, and then put that “todon’t” list right beside your “to do” list. Look at it every single day and let it soak in; f ollow it and make it partof your monthly strategy because it is the key to everything. It ’s just like f ollowing your “to do” list, f ollowyour “to don’t” list and let it guide you as you build your business into the f uture.
