The Most Effective Ways to be More Productive

Becoming more productive really comes down to focus and clarity but with so many different things you could be working on, you'll easily be pulled in too many directions. In today's episode, I'm sharing with you the ways you can start working more efficiently which will ultimately mean more time and financial freedom. Three tips to take away from this episode: 1. We have to remember that we are in control of our schedules. Make sure everyone on the team knows what they are working on and uses this important strategy for reducing distractions. 2. You want to hold your team accountable for completing their responsibilities. When you expect that they use this time management strategy I'm talking about here, you know what they are working on and when. 3. Intentionally create time in your schedule for the specific purpose I mention to prevent everyone from getting pulled away from their most important revenue-generating tasks to take care of something that could be done an hour or two later instead. Just like so many other things in your business, intentional productivity is a system. When you take the steps to prioritize clarity and focus, you continue moving forward with your task completion and energetically. There is a PDF download that goes with this training.

Letting Go of Hustle with Jenna Kutcher

This episode with (fellow Midwest) entrepreneur extraordinaire, Jenna Kutcher has been a long time in the making. Getting on her calendar is challenging because she's pretty well-known for her discretion in how she uses her time and energy, which is exactly why I needed to pick her brain. With her new book, How Are You Really?, coming out in the next few days, I'm so glad she and I were finally able to connect as friends and entrepreneurs for this special conversation. Three noteworthy gems you can expect to take away from this episode: 1. The trick your brain is playing on you when you witness the success of others and how to know what is actually meant for you. 2. Her tip for that drinking out of a firehouse feeling when you go to a mastermind type event and want to implement all of the ideas you hear. 3. The mindset shift to get us through the polarizing experience we face as female entrepreneurs and how to move forward with clarity. And because she's the queen of reserving her calendar for what's most important, you can also expect to learn the mind-blowing way she suggests graciously declining when you need to say no to something out of alignment with your values. This conversation is so meaningful and special and whether you're a brick and mortar business owner, digital, or a combination of both, you'll gain some powerful insight here. Be sure to follow along with Jenna's adventures at jennakutcher.com and listen in to The Goal Digger podcast. Did you love today's episode? 1. Take a screenshot and share it to your IG stories.

Let Go of The Need to Control Through 4 Phases of Delegation

One of the biggest problems I see, is owners holding on to their business as a baby. You have to let your business grow up. You can't keep it a baby forever. In today's episode, I'm teaching you how to let go of control through 4 phases of delegation. 3 key points to take away from today's training: A lack of consistency in decision-making creates confusion around how much autonomy your team members have. When you have a team but don't transfer any ownership, it's still you running the show. If you are delegating but balls are getting dropped with no follow through you aren't feeling confident you're delegating the right things. When you use a system that includes the 4 phases of delegation I'm teaching today you'll accomplish the three things most of the people we work with want: Growth, Profit, Flexibility You deserve the time and financial freedom that systematic delegation will allow you.

Overcoming Indecision

I hear all the time "my team can't make decisions without me." I always challenge the CEO to identify if that's the real issue. Oftentimes it's that they're not ready to let go of control and are becoming the bottleneck for the team's autonomy. It becomes so much easier to let go of control when you've gone through a specific decision-making process and are able to teach your team to do the same and set them up for success. So today we're talking about How to Overcome Indecision and Empower Your Team. You think your team isn't capable of making decisions. Or when they do, you question it and wonder why they did what they did. Especially when you are considering bringing a team member into a leadership role and you're both unsure they can make decisions according to your standards and expectations, the prompts I'm suggesting here are helpful in reflecting on what stepping into that role would mean and will empower you both to make decisions confidently. 3 key takeaways you can expect from this training: The important role gut instinct plays in decision making. There is a deep connection between our gut and our minds. You can teach your team members to listen to their bodies. The costs of indecision in addition to time and money that might surprise you. What needs to happen in order to make a decision? I'll share the systems that need to be in place and what strategies you need to be clarify in order to make the decisions that move everyone forward. The biggest thing I want you to realize is that indecision is costing you business growth. There's a PDF download that goes along with this training you'll want to grab and refer back to.

Stop Working as Your Own Assistant

Without an executive assistant on your team, you are leaving money on the table by doing all the things instead of only the right things. You thought you'd be further along in your business – more sales, more referrals, it seems like things should start to feel easier by now. But your brain never shuts off, you're convinced you're always forgetting something, constantly checking your calendar, and getting interrupted by notifications. This is not the way to run a successful business. Imagine starting your work day and knowing exactly what you need to accomplish and even better knowing that when you get those things done, you'll have completed tasks that are truly moving the needle. That's what's possible when you have an A-player executive assistant supporting you and your productivity. You know this is what you need. But where do you even start? What if you spend all this time and energy trying to find and hire someone and it doesn't work out? I've got you! In today's episode, I'm outlining the exact system you need that will walk you through the whole process step-by-step. 3 key points about hiring an executive assistant: 1. At a very basic level, to prepare for hiring your EA you need to start with a job description. You can begin by doing a brain dump of all the things you need and want to get off your plate. Maybe it's not a strength, takes you too much time, isn't getting done consistently when it should be… get 30 minutes on your calendar to think through all the potential tasks an EA could do for you. Now I want to tell you about this brand new system we've created for you that will take you from posting your job description to sending your star EA their offer letter. From creating a job description that attracts the right people to efficiently weeding out unqualified candidates, all the way through to crafting an offer letter that sets you and your star EA up for success, you'll be telling all of your entrepreneurial friends about this system!

You need to have an organization chart for your small business (even if you're still hiring). When everyone reports to you there is no way to keep the expectations and communication clear.
