By Every morning I wake up with the knowledge that I have to work through the rest of the day. If I have an idea, I have to figure out how to execute it. If it doesn’t work out, I have to figure out how to find a new way to get it done. And if it does work out, then I have to figure out how to do it well.
The business part of my job is the hardest of the three. It can be a struggle too, as sometimes I have to go through the motions of working and then come up with a new plan of action. But the most stressful part of my job is the actual work itself. So this year, I will be focusing on being as efficient as possible in my job and at the same time, learning as much as I can about business.
My goal is not to become an efficient, high-follower business man or woman (though, that’s what I want to be). My goal is to become the most efficient person I can be, which is to say, to make as much money as I can as quickly as I can. As a result, I will be focusing on being as profitable as I can be. Just like my other business endeavors, this will also be about learning how to be profitable.
A good place to start doing this is by learning to use the tools I already have to make money. I use Excel to create spreadsheets, and I have a few other scripts that use Google Apps for business. I don’t just want to be a profitable Excel maker, I want to be the most efficient Excel maker, and I want to be the most profitable spreadsheet maker as well.
The last spreadsheet I made that made me very, very rich was for the sale of my company’s yacht. I took advantage of the spreadsheet feature that I had in Excel and created a spreadsheet that listed every single employee (including the CEO, CFO, COO, and other key management team members) and the number of hours they worked.
In order to make a spreadsheet like this work you need a lot of employees.
This was the first spreadsheet I created by myself, and it was a lot of work but it was worth it. One thing I really liked about the spreadsheet was the fact that it was very customizable. Instead of just adding a single employee, you could add multiple employees. In the spreadsheet I used to make the spreadsheet for the yacht, there was a drop-down list where you could enter any key management team members you wanted to add and the number of hours they worked.
This spreadsheet was a tool to help people manage the workload. People would usually sign up for a company, or an organization, and their role would be defined by the spreadsheet. When I was in my 20s, I was a computer professional, so I wrote a lot of spreadsheets for myself. I had a spreadsheet for my job where I tracked my hours at work, and I had one where I tracked my time off.
Spreadsheets were a huge part of my job. They helped me organize and track my time, and they were a lot of fun to use. I thought they were great until one day I was doing a project that was too much for me to handle by myself, and then I decided to call in a spreadsheet. I ended up making a spreadsheet of all the data I had about my project, and I had to write a report on it.
So this is a bit of a rant about how spreadsheets suck for a lot of people. It’s not that spreadsheets are “bad,” it’s just that a lot of people are just too damn lazy to learn how to use them, and once they become frustrated the spreadsheet will just sit and wait.
