Shayne Benson, Online Business Manager, joined me on the show this week to discuss how to set your new years goals & ACTUALLY make them happen. Whether your goals are growing a team, retaining more clients, or having a better work life balance - Shayne has a process to help you achieve these goals. We discussed creating quarterly planning sessions, creating a luxury client experience, and how to set (or reclaim) boundaries in the new year!About ShayneHey friend, I'm Shayne - Online Business Manager (OBM) + Systems Strategist helping you get back to being the visionary!I love to empower creatives to take back time through aligned and efficient systems, business organization, and strategy to scale sustainably. Every day, I see creatives reaching for their dreams yet still struggling with burnout. As a virtual assistant, I noticed a gap in my community and clients' businesses and a need for systems support and optimization. That's when I worked to specialize in systems strategy and really honed in on building a consistent client experience through processes and systems that serve both the business owner and their clients!As I supported OBM clients at a higher level, I observed that the systems we built helped, but didn't entirely solve the problem! That's where I discovered the core of their struggles boiled down to time management, project management, mindset, and boundaries.Now I serve clients through VIP Days as an ongoing strategic partner, big dream planner, and client experience expert for creative, service-based business owners. It's my goal to make the high-level OBM support more accessible to businesses looking to scale sustainably, not just those who are already making the big bucks! I work with you to take your big messy ideas into actionable and achievable steps to get you closer to living your dreams (minus burnout)!Connect with Shaynehttps://theshaynebenson.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/theshaynebenson/.Email signup: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/635b56eeda6ff139e3454733Connect with ChristyFreebies, Social info & More: https://linktr.ee/itschristybowieJoin the FREE Business Owners Community: https://Tinyurl.com/CEOPodText WINGWOMAN to (201) 298 7466 to get episodes directly to your phone & hear special updates! Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/atm/on-a-journeyLicense code: JYEEKQFXETP7AT79
