INSIGHT

Less Work, More Money

The less you do, the more money you make as a digital CEO.
Doing too much low-value work blocks focusing on high-value activities for growth.

ADVICE

Give Yourself the Promotion

Assign yourself to higher value roles by delegating or automating low-value tasks.
Draw your org chart and remove yourself from at least two roles immediately to regain time.

ADVICE

Document More, Do Less

Document every process while doing it so you only do each task once.
Use tools like ScribeHOW to turn screen recordings into step-by-step guides.

Are you feeling like you're grinding but going nowhere? If you’re working hard but feel like you’re not getting ahead, then this episode is for you! What if I told you that there was a different way to run your digital business, where you’ll actually work less and make more?

I’ve been in the online space for awhile now, since 2007, and over the years I’ve had to learn what it takes to not only run but grow a digital business…without burning out and hitting a wall! I attribute much of me being able to do this to a set of principles, or disciplines, and I share 7 of them with you today.

This conversation is about stepping into your power as the Digital CEO, working smarter (not harder), and finally building a business that fuels your life, not drains it.
