‍

Q: What is the core idea behind Eat That Frog?

‍

The premise is simple. Do the hardest, most important, or most avoided task first.

Brian Tracy uses the metaphor of a frog sitting on your plate. If you have to eat it, do it first. Once it is out of the way, the rest of the day tends to become a lot easier.

Q: Why does this concept resonate with so many business owners?

‍

Because most of us naturally gravitate towards the easy tasks.

Emails, meetings, administration, and other low-risk activities can make us feel productive, but often the most important tasks are the ones we keep putting off.

The difficult conversation.
The strategic decision.
The performance issue.
The growth initiative.

Those are usually the things that move the business forward.
