134. You're probably wasting money on this

Recently, I had an eye opening experience that flipped my thinking about being busy.

About 5 minutes later, I had an “aha” moment when I connected the dots and realized how much money we waste in our business when we operate in a constant state of busyness.

In this episode, I’m sharing my ridiculous story because it demonstrates how easily we fall into this pattern.

The short version is that I want us to be more aware of how we go looking for solutions to solve our “noisy” problems.

We hire a virtual assistant, an expert, or buy a course, or join a program.

And then we only go half way, and we don’t get the results we hoped for.

We can’t abdicate responsibility for our results, yet we do this all the time.

I made a list of tips for working with Experts and Service Providers. I think it works for Courses and Programs too.When you follow this process, you have an improved chance of success:

• Communicate the outcome you’re looking for
• Get buy in from the expert
• Find a way to measure the results
• Ask them what they need from you to be successful
• Make it easy to work with you
• Demonstrate that you are invested, and they’ll be more invested
