Hoteliers – Reach Your Business Goals Through Daily Action
It has been said that your future is hidden in your daily routine. What you do daily on consistent basis can determine how your future could look like. So if you want to have a more successful hotel business, what daily actions are you taking that could lead your business there?
“A champion doesn’t become a champion in the ring, he’s merely recognized in the ring. His ‘becoming’ happens during his daily routine.” – Joe Louis
As a hotel owner or hotel manager, it would be awesome if you have a clear vision of where you want to take your business. Then map out the steps that you need to take to reach that vision. You may break down the steps into daily, weekly and monthly activities. Then make sure you and your team does all these activities without fail.
This concept has been reiterated by many successful people, in their own words. Check out some of the famous quotes:
“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” – John C. Maxwell.
Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. – Warren Buffet
Successful people do daily what others do only occasionally. Everyone gets motivated once in a while and takes some action. But the important thing to consider is how consistent are they with those actions which can take them closer to their goals.
The little actions done daily matter a lot and can build up on each other till they take you on top of the summit which you were planning to climb. Study any successful people and you will see years of hard work, CONSISTENT ACTION, and persistence. If you lack consistent action then you may not go as far as you could possibly go.
How do daily actions matter for a hotelier? Daily action can make or break your business. They can put you ahead of the competition or pull you back. They can make you a sensational success or bring about dismal failure.
Professional athletes are known for their highly demanding daily schedules. They are known to exercise and train for hours, stick to rigid diet plans. It requires top discipline. If we can bring the same amount of discipline to the table, our businesses can reach another level!
There are great lessons for every businessman, including a hotelier, in this strategy of sticking to a planned daily routine. Not just you, but your whole team should be able to stick to a schedule and plan. It is the management’s duty and responsibility to motivate the staff and make them stick to a healthy routine. All staff members can have their own daily routine as per their job responsibilities. The management may chalk out a daily action plan for each staff member and make them answerable for sticking to it.
Everything can flow much more smoothly and you can achieve more of your targets if your hotel or organization can manage to implement this. At the same time, do keep in mind that the daily routines should not be too tiresome and difficult such that you will burn out yourself and your team. The daily targets should be such that they are comfortably within your ability and reach.
