The Amy Porterfield Show

What I Practice Every Day For Swoon-Worthy ResultsWhat? You thought entrepreneurship was all glistening social media posts and champagne toasts?Juuuust kidding.If you’ve started a business – full time or on the side – you KNOW there are plenty of unglamorous moments.But in this episode, I’m sharing four very specific skills that you probably wouldn’t list on a Bumble profile…but that will definitely make you a more effective and successful entrepreneur and leader. Promise.Things like the ability to leverage. Or being a proactive planner. Or how I’ve learned to be an effective communicator in my business (and what that’s looked like in different situations.) Sneak away for a few minutes, dive into this shortie episode, and steal the four unsexy business-making traits that I’ve developed inside my business (so you can build them into yours!)Here’s a glance at this episode... [03:35] 1. Effective communication skills. In the past, I've shielded myself from negative conversations. I use the Radical Candor method to communicate when something goes wrong. [06:47] 2. Your ability to leverage. When you leverage you still have a pulse on the project, you're just not doing everything. This is choosing who you want to collaborate with and letting them own it, but they're still doing regular check-ins with you. [09:37] 3. Be willing to admit when you are wrong. If something's not working in your business, look inward and ask how I can change my communication style or whatever is causing the problem. [11:42] 4. You have to be a proactive planner. A proactive planner is looking ahead six months or a year. How can you scale or improve the business in the next three years? Check out EOS.

An Entrepreneur’s Permission To UnHustle I L - O - V - E new entrepreneurs.There’s no drive or determination like the early days of starting a business…but with that comes a few habits that become hard to break.Like taking that drive and willingness to do what it takes and forgetting that you’re running a marathon…not a sprint.A “hustle, hustle, hustle” mentality can be the default setting for high achievers (like many entrepreneurs are.) But it’s also been the flag that successful entrepreneurs have loudly and proudly flown for the last decade.And I made the mistake of falling into the hustle culture trap myself in the early days of my business.So in this episode, I want to talk about the turning point when I realized hustling my days, nights, and weekends away wasn’t cutting it anymorePlus how I undid the thoughts of what I “should be” as an entrepreneur and even the “hustle-over-everything” beliefs I brought into my business.Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a long-timer like me, I hope this short and sweet conversation is one more reminder that your *whole* life deserves your attention. And that doing *all* the things isn’t always what’s best for your biz. So take a deep breath and click to listen. Your permission to unhustle is inside!Here’s a glance at this episode... [03:29] The one thing that I would do differently in my business is that I wouldn't have hustled to get to where I am today.  [04:42] The first years are the most difficult. Once you start to see traction and double down on what's working, the hustle can stop or at least slow down. [06:50] What I believe now is that you can have an amazing personal life with white space and downtime as well as an amazing business. [09:03] The questions we ask allow us to work smarter. It took courage to allow me to switch to a four-day workweek. My team and I put in a system and a plan. Then we got to work!
