Streamlining Work Hours with the GOLD Framework
The implementation of the GOLD framework allowed Amanda Moffitt to dramatically reduce her work hours from 45 to just 15 per week.

Catalyst for Change: Overcoming Overwhelm
Before implementing the GOLD framework, Amanda faced considerable stress and overwhelm in her business, often feeling like a small fish in a chaotic ecosystem. The anxiety she experienced propelled her to seek a fundamental change in the way she managed her business. Through an introspective process, she took the time to identify her core values and ultimate goals, leading her to reimagine her business operations without the pressures of her existing reality. This significant self-reflection became the catalyst for creating a more efficient and fulfilling work environment.
Mentorship and Collaboration: The Importance of Team Input
Throughout the strategic evaluation, Amanda recognized the value of mentorship and collaboration, crediting her boyfriend for prompting her initial exploration of the GOLD framework. While she had a clear vision, she realized that involving her team earlier in the process could have unlocked even more insights and ideas. By creating an environment where team members felt empowered to contribute, Amanda fostered a sense of ownership and enthusiasm that encouraged them to take initiative. This collaborative approach not only strengthened her leadership but also enhanced team morale and productivity.
