To get others to act with urgency it’s pivotal to be the example. Mr. Jacques demonstrates his urgency every day during the firm’s meetings and his interactions with staff. The entrepreneur understands that he is the role model for everyone in the company and that he must lead the way.

2. Time Management

Mr. Jacques meticulously plans out his day. He urges his staff to plot out every hour of their day, taking into account every detail, including breaks to eat and use the restroom. “It might seem stupid, but if you know exactly what you should be doing every minute of every hour you’ll maximize your time, and your productivity will improve.” Commented Mr. Jacques.
