The Finite Volume Principle

  • The Finite Volume Principle is the idea that in any physical room there is a finite amount of space. Once you have exhausted that space, there is no more room to grow and therefore no more opportunity.
  • Every business owner at one time or another finds themselves overwhelmed with tasks and work with approaching deadlines.
  • One way to limit this feeling of overwhelming exhaustion is to set clear objectives and milestones that keep the business and your positive outlook moving forward.

Breaking it Down

  • Break down your business into 3-5 elements that can all be worked on and improved upon separately.
  • Defining a beginning, an end and then filling in the middle will leave you at a place where you can cross objectives off of your to-do list instead of being stuck on a revolving wheel.

Overcoming the Fear

  • There are countless businesses who fail to break down their objectives and timelines into a format that is easy to comprehend.
  • Fear can come in a lot of forms, like an overwhelming feeling and fear of failure are just a few.

Move the Big Rocks First!

  • The demonstration of rocks, stones, sand and water in a glass container truly expresses how it can be difficult for employees or business owners to understand their true finite volume.
  • Your primary focus should be the rocks, the rocks represent the larger objectives or defined ends that result in a project’s completion.
  • If you are able to evaluate your processes every few weeks, you’ll be shocked at just how much you and your team can accomplish.
