Thanks Alex. I have seen most people focus more on efficiency rather then on effectiveness. I believe doing the right things right is important for success.

To answer your question “Should we aim for being efficient (doing things right) or effective (doing the right things) in our daily activities?”, the idea of efficiency comes from accomplishing most with the least effort. So that said, in order to get most out of your daily activities, you will have to strike a balance between the two. Find out what “right things” you need to do, but also do them the “right” way so you can get most out of those “right things”. That is partly why 80/20 rule exists, allot of people doing the “right things”, but doing them the “wrong” way. And only some that are doing both.

Thank you, Chris, for your positive feedback. Moreover, your article was great. I do hope you will support the carnival in future.

I just wanted to highlight the fact that this critical metric is usually not being captured. This means small businesses really cannot measure the ROI of their website. And lack of marketing metrics usually leads to the demise of the marketing department in small businesses.
