What if the biggest obstacle to business growth isn't sales, marketing, or operations—but the way your people are being led?

In this episode of The Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, I sit down with Kristy Wojnicki, founder of The Woj Group, to discuss what it really means to build a human-first business. With extensive experience in HR, operations, talent development, and leadership at both startups and major organizations like LinkedIn, Kristy shares practical strategies for creating accountability, improving team culture, and making better business decisions through data instead of assumptions.

We explore why many leaders struggle with difficult conversations, how poor communication impacts team performance, and why sustainable business growth starts with taking care of your people.

Whether you're managing a small team or leading a growing organization, this episode will help you build a stronger foundation for long-term success.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why leaders often make decisions based on instinct instead of data
• The hidden cost of avoiding difficult conversations
• What "human-first" leadership actually means in practice
• How accountability strengthens team culture and performance
• The difference between being nice and being kind as a leader
• How to identify and address team culture issues early
• Why transparency builds trust within organizations
• When founders should seek outside coaching or leadership support
• Practical ways to create sustainable growth through people and systems

Key Takeaway

Strong businesses are built by strong teams. When leaders prioritize transparency, accountability, and data-driven decision-making, they create an environment where people can thrive—and when people thrive, businesses grow.

What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn't your product, service, or sales strategy—but the fact that nobody knows who you are?

In this episode of The Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, I sit down with Morgan Snyder, founder of Thought Leader Today, to discuss why founders, CEOs, and business leaders need to stop hiding behind their companies and start building their personal brands. Morgan shares how thought leadership, authentic content, and strategic visibility can attract customers, partnerships, media opportunities, and top talent.

Whether you're uncomfortable posting online, unsure what to share, or wondering if personal branding is worth the effort, this episode will challenge the way you think about visibility and business growth.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why many CEOs and founders resist building a personal brand
• The real business benefits of thought leadership and online visibility
• Why LinkedIn remains one of the best platforms for B2B lead generation
• How to create content that stands out in a crowded marketplace
• The importance of personality and authenticity in content creation
• Common mistakes leaders make when building their online presence
• How to turn content into meaningful business relationships and opportunities
• The role AI should play in content creation without losing your humanity

If you're not actively telling your story online, someone else is telling it for you—or worse, you're being forgotten entirely. Consistent, authentic content isn't about becoming an influencer. It's about building trust, staying top of mind, and creating long-term opportunities for your business.

When is the right time to step back from your business?

In this episode of The Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, we talk about delegation, leadership maturity, and sustainable business growth. If you’re an overwhelmed entrepreneur wondering when to let go — and when you’re still the best person for the job — this conversation is for you.

There’s a big difference between delegating strategically and stepping away out of exhaustion. And if you leave too soon, you may weaken the very thing you worked so hard to build.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The danger of stepping away too early
• Founder fatigue vs. founder responsibility
• Why systems must come before delegation
• How to know when you’re no longer the most efficient person
• The hidden identity shift every entrepreneur faces
• What sustainable business growth really looks like
• Why “4-hour CEO” culture can be misleading

This episode is about building strong foundations so your business can eventually run without you — not collapsing when you try to step back.

Freedom comes after structure.

You don’t delegate because you’re tired.
You delegate because your systems are ready.

Build your business strong before you step away.

In this value-packed episode, Kristy Yoder interviews Bryce York, LinkedIn expert and founder of Factor 15, who’s spent decades in sales helping businesses expand their reach and build relationships that actually convert.

Together, they unpack the art of authentic networking on LinkedIn — a topic every entrepreneur, coach, and B2B service provider needs to master in today’s digital age.

Bryce reveals the most common LinkedIn mistakes business owners make (and how to fix them), why blank connection requests actually perform better than long-winded messages, and how to use automation the right way without losing your personal touch.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why LinkedIn is not a sales platform — and what to do instead
• The simple sequence Bryce uses to turn cold connections into warm leads
• How to build trust and credibility through your profile before you send a single message
• Why commenting on your prospect’s post might be the smartest follow-up strategy
• How to “do LinkedIn the lazy way” — with systems and automation that keep your pipeline full
• The #1 thing you should never do on LinkedIn if you want to protect your reputation

Bryce also shares real examples from his own business, like how a simple “Congrats on the new role” comment reignited a cold lead and turned into a booked meeting. It’s proof that genuine relationships — not scripts — drive success.

Whether you’re tired of being ghosted after connection requests or you want to start getting real results from your LinkedIn outreach, this episode will show you how to network smarter, not harder.

In this episode of The Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, host Kristy Yoder talks with Kate Assaraf, founder of Dip Sustainable Hair Care, about the courage it takes to rebuild after failure — and how slowing down can lead to greater success.

After 20 years in the beauty industry, Kate walked away from toxic marketing and burnout to create a plastic-free, award-winning hair care brand built on integrity and sustainability. But before Dip, she had to face the pain of closing her first business and starting over with just $40,000 and a lot of faith.

Kate shares how she turned shame into strength, built her own factory after a major setback, and proved that doing less—but better—can build a business that lasts.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Failure can be the foundation for purpose and growth
• Sustainability and profitability can coexist
• Doing less leads to clarity and impact
• Boundaries protect your peace and creativity

In this episode of the Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, Kristy sits down with Kira Shishkin, CEO of informed.now and a seasoned serial entrepreneur. Kira has built four companies across different industries, including crypto infrastructure, publishing, and consumer tech. With a background that spans Ukraine, Israel, and the United States, he brings a truly global perspective on resilience, leadership, and building businesses that last.

Kira shares how he has applied the principles of what he calls “lazy entrepreneurship”—not about avoiding work, but about creating efficiency and freedom through smart systems, delegation, and automation. He explains why mastering tasks before delegating them makes hiring more effective, how to communicate clearly within international teams, and why prioritization is an essential daily discipline for entrepreneurs.

This conversation is packed with practical advice for entrepreneurs who want to scale their business without burning out and who are ready to shift from doing everything themselves to building smarter, sustainable systems.

Key Takeaways:

• Master before you delegate: Learn the task yourself so you can give clear feedback and evaluate success.
• Hire early and wisely: The right hires accelerate growth, while the wrong ones slow it down.
• Prioritization is a discipline: Always order your to-do list by importance, not randomness.
• Communication is non-negotiable: Build a culture of proactive honesty, especially in international teams.
• Systems create freedom: Use technology and processes to make your business run without constant founder oversight.

In this episode of the Lazy Entrepreneur Podcast, host Kristy Yoder welcomes Randi Deckard, Senior Vice President of Growth at BESLER and trusted CRO advisor. With a career that began in clinical science, Randi brings a unique perspective to business and leadership—treating every strategy as an experiment and applying data-driven insights to growth.

Over the past five years, she has integrated AI into her daily leadership practices, not simply for efficiency, but to achieve what she calls the ability to “people more.” For Randi, AI is a tool that allows leaders to be more present for their teams and customers while removing friction from business processes.

During the conversation, Randi shares practical ways leaders can use AI, from building custom GPTs to automate research, to creating AI-powered one-on-one agendas that make team coaching more effective. She also highlights the importance of intent marketing, deal rooms, and governance frameworks that ensure AI is used responsibly.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into how AI can support leadership, empower teams, and improve customer experiences. Randi also addresses the risks of AI adoption—such as data integrity, compliance, and security—and explains why business leaders must become AI-literate in order to guide their organizations through the rapid pace of technological change.

This episode is packed with actionable advice for entrepreneurs and executives who want to harness AI without losing sight of the human side of business.

Key Takeaways:

• Leaders must be AI-literate in order to guide their teams effectively.
• AI should always be tied to business outcomes, not hype or trends.
• Custom GPTs and automation can save leaders hours of time daily.
• Clear communication and empowerment remain the core of leadership in the AI era.
• Responsible AI adoption requires governance, security, and ongoing evaluation.

Alright, let's be honest. Many of us started a business to find freedom, but somehow ended up creating another job for ourselves—one where we're the boss and the bottleneck. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey to escaping the daily grind and truly stepping into my CEO role.

I'll tell you about my personal "Groundhog Day" nightmare, where every Monday felt like more of the same overwhelming tasks. If you've ever thought, "Did I quit my job just to create another one for myself?", then you're going to resonate with this. It's time to stop wearing "busy" as a badge of honor and start building a business that works for you.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

👉The Hard Truth About Being "Too Needed": Why thinking you're the only one who can do things "right" is actually hurting your business and your freedom.

👉The CEO's Actual Job Description: A mind shift that helps you focus on what truly moves the needle—strategy, team building, and high-level decisions.

👉My Breaking Point Story: How forgetting a dentist appointment (oops!) became the catalyst for me to finally fire myself from tasks that weren't serving my business or my sanity.

👉The 5-Step "Fire Yourself" Framework: My exact process for delegating and creating systems. We'll cover everything from the "brain dump" to trusting your team and letting go of control.

👉What Happens When You Let Go: The incredible growth and freedom that came once I stopped babysitting every detail.

And of course, I'm giving you a Lazy CEO Challenge to kickstart your own journey:

Pick one task you know you shouldn't be doing, delegate it, and watch what happens. You might just surprise yourself!

• Authenticity builds trust and connection—key to leadership and business growth.

Are you truly acting as the CEO of your business… or are you just operating it?

Many business owners proudly call themselves “CEO,” but in reality, they’re stuck in the daily grind—handling emails, chasing invoices, micromanaging their team, and never really leading. Sound familiar?

In this eye-opening episode, we tackle the crucial difference between being a true CEO and merely operating your business—and why this distinction could be the key to scaling without burnout.

What You'll Learn:

• The telltale signs you're stuck in "operator mode" instead of leading as a CEO
• How to transition from doing everything to strategic leadership
• Practical steps to work ON your business instead of IN it
• Real systems for automating your business to run without your constant presence

CEO vs. Operator: What's the Difference?

In a nutshell: Business Operators work IN their business (handling emails, admin, customer service) and feel essential to daily operations. CEOs work ON their business, focusing on vision, strategy, and growth while trusting their team and systems.

The Path from Operator to CEO

We break down four essential steps to elevate your role:

1. Audit Your Tasks - Track your activities and identify what only YOU can do
2. Build & Trust Your Team - Start delegating, beginning with a virtual assistant
3. Create Systems - Automate repetitive processes in client management, finances, and marketing
4. Focus on Strategy - Dedicate your time to growth opportunities and high-level decisions

Key Takeaway

The biggest shift isn't just in what you do—it's in how you think about your role. A true CEO builds a business that thrives even when they step away, creating both freedom for themselves and sustainable growth for their company.

Ready to make the shift? Start by delegating one small task today that's been consuming your time, and redirect that energy toward strategic thinking.

"Ask for help. It sounds obvious, but most entrepreneurs don't know how to."

In this episode of Master Delegator, Kristy Yoder interviews Natanya Wachtel, founder of New Solutions Network and the Natanya Experience media platform. With expertise in behavioral science and entrepreneurship since 2008, Natanya bridges science, storytelling, business, and personal transformation.

Natanya candidly shares her founder journey, including mental health struggles that transformed her leadership approach. She unpacks entrepreneurs' hidden burdens, the toxic productivity myth, and why asking for help is so powerful. The conversation highlights effective delegation—both in business and home life—and building supportive teams.

They explore whether "doing it all" leads to success or burnout, entrepreneurs' complicated relationship with productivity, and how technology can free up creative energy while preserving irreplaceable human connection.

Key Takeaways:

• Entrepreneurial struggles are normal—the key is getting back up and seeking support
• Examine where your time goes and let go of tasks that don't bring joy
• Delegate at home and work to create resilience and buy-in
• Focus on meaningful goals, not just being busy
• Use technology and team members—there's no prize for doing everything yourself
• Success isn't about visibility—peace and sustainable systems matter more than follower counts
• Start with basics: rest, connection, routines, and asking for help

As Natanya puts it: "The sooner you can have a shared workload, the more ultimately you will be able to earn the money to really comfortably pay that staff... At the end of the day, there's only one of you."

With AI tools popping up everywhere, many business owners are asking: Do I still need a VA? Can AI replace my team? The truth is, AI and VAs each have their own strengths, and knowing when to use automation versus delegation is the key to running an efficient, scalable business.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear game plan for what to automate with AI and what to delegate to a VA, so you can maximize productivity and free up your time for high-impact tasks.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ The key differences between AI tools and Virtual Assistants (VAs)
✅ What tasks should be automated with AI to save time
✅ What tasks require a VA’s human touch for creativity and strategy
✅ How to combine AI and VAs for maximum business efficiency
✅ Practical examples of automation and delegation in action

AI vs. VAs: The Breakdown

What AI Can Handle:

🔹 Repetitive, rule-based tasks that don’t require human judgment
🔹 Automated email responses & chatbots for FAQs
🔹 Social media scheduling & content repurposing
🔹 Data entry, reports, and invoice processing
🔹 Transcriptions & meeting notes with tools like Otter.ai
🔹 Basic customer support & ticket filtering

What VAs Do Best:

🔹 Personalized customer service & relationship management
🔹 Creative marketing & content creation with brand personality
🔹 Research & strategic decision-making beyond raw data
🔹 Project & team management, ensuring accountability
🔹 Sales & lead generation that builds real connections

The Hybrid Approach: AI + VAs

🔹Use AI for initial drafts, VA for refinement
🔹AI for scheduling, VA for engagement
🔹AI for data tracking, VA for trend analysis

Final Thoughts

The winning strategy isn't choosing between AI or VAs—it's leveraging both strategically:

🔹Automate repetitive, rule-based tasks with AI
🔹Delegate decision-making, strategy, and relationship-based tasks to VAs
🔹Combine these approaches for maximum efficiency and freedom

If you don’t have a VA yet—now is the time to start! A great virtual assistant will help you manage both AI tools and daily operations, freeing up your time for what truly matters.

"There's gotta be another way...there has to be a better way."

In this episode of the Master Delegator podcast, Kristy Yoder sits down with Scott Ritzheimer, a seasoned entrepreneur who has helped over 20,000 organizations start and scale. Despite beginning his entrepreneurial journey unexpectedly, Scott has built and sold successful businesses, bringing deep insights into the common challenges founders face.

Scott shares his unique journey from initially not aspiring to be an entrepreneur to falling in love with business. He discusses the loneliness that often accompanies leadership roles and how discovering predictable business life cycle stages changed his perspective and business trajectory. Scott describes the transformative power of recognizing patterns in business growth and the relief and direction it brings to founders feeling stuck.

The episode touches on stages of entrepreneurial evolution, emphasizing the importance of different skills and mindsets at each stage. Scott highlights how founders can navigate these stages effectively, fitting their vision of freedom and success.

Key Takeaways:

• Founders often face loneliness and isolation; recognizing you're on a shared path can bring relief and direction.
• Business growth has distinct stages; understanding your current stage can illuminate the way forward.
• The skills required in early stages, like problem-solving, differ from later stages that require delegation and leadership.
• Scaling your business doesn't inherently make it better; know what kind of growth aligns with your goals.

As Scott insightfully noted: "The greatest freedom changes by stage." Recognizing and embracing the joy of your current business stage is key to achieving balance and success, reinforcing that bigger isn't always better.

"I just got to a point where I just realized if I'm going to sustain a business long term, I can't do this myself."

Gabe Gibitz shares his unique journey, from initially aiming for a medical career to pivoting to music and eventually establishing himself in the marketing realm. With two theology degrees and rich experience in digital marketing, Gabe emphasizes the pivotal role trust and empathy play in building meaningful connections with customers and clients.

Throughout the episode, Gabe and Kristy discuss the challenges businesses face in today's digital landscape, particularly the lack of empathy and understanding of customer perspectives.

Additionally, they delve into the significance of consistent branding, honest communications, and the necessity of routine self-assessment and realignment in business practices.

Key Takeaways:

4. Daily Rhythm and Prioritizing Tasks: Focus on tasks only you can do and delegate the rest, ensuring a sustainable workload and business growth.

"Business is nothing more than a series of tasks that you get paid to do."

In this episode of the Master Delegator podcast, Kristy Yoder interviews Shaun Whynacht from Bluecow Marketing, an expert in marketing automation dedicated to making business owners' lives easier by optimizing their workflow through automation. Shaun delves into the fundamental categorization of tasks – revenue-generating, potentially revenue-generating, and non-revenue-generating – and explains how automating or outsourcing non-essential tasks can free up valuable time for entrepreneurs.

Throughout the episode, Shaun shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting from his youthful days as a DJ to becoming a multifaceted entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience. His real-life examples, such as reducing the time to complete marketing assessments from several days to less than 8 hours using AI and CRM tools, underscore the transformative power of automation.

Shaun also talks about the different types of tasks that can be automated, from pre-meeting preparations and post-meeting follow-ups to ongoing relationship management. He emphasizes the importance of using automation to enhance efficiency in potentially revenue-generating tasks and the necessity of maintaining a human touch, particularly in true revenue-generating activities where personal relationships are key.

Key Takeaways

Automate or delegate non-revenue-generating tasks like taxes, bookkeeping, and cleaning to focus on growing your business.

Enhance efficiency in potentially revenue-generating activities with automation, such as content creation and client follow-ups.

Always maintain a human touch in tasks that directly generate revenue; automation should augment, not replace, personal engagement.

Reflect on your achievements and seek support to combat self-doubt, a common challenge among entrepreneurs.

Stay open to new technologies and tools, such as AI and project management systems, to continually improve your business processes.

As Shaun powerfully stated: "Your well-being, your health is one of the key drivers of your business. If you don't have that, you cannot run a business." Embrace automation to handle repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on what truly matters – growing your business and personal fulfillment.

“The conscious choice to approach things differently, that is leadership.”

In this episode of the Master Delegator podcast, Kristy Yoder interviews Josi Dumont, a leadership and mindset coach who helps women turn self-doubt into self-trust and build authentic lives and businesses. As a coach, Josi focuses on helping women create and build their lives and businesses authentically, without simply copying others.

Throughout the episode, Josi shares her journey from working in corporate finance to becoming a coach and entrepreneur. She discusses her experience with burnout and how hitting rock bottom led her to reevaluate her life and career. Josi also shares insights on preventing burnout as an entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of sustainable productivity, self-care, and prioritizing life over work.

The conversation delves into the challenges entrepreneurs face when establishing their businesses and the importance of balancing self-care with the demands of growing a client base. Josi offers advice on prioritizing tasks, delegating, and setting realistic goals to avoid burnout. She also stresses the significance of leadership and taking ownership of one's well-being as an entrepreneur.

Key Takeaways

• Schedule your life first, then work around it. Don't let work consume your entire calendar.
• During busy periods, prioritize ruthlessly. What can you delete, delay, or delegate from your task list? Focus only on the needle movers.
• Make self-care non-negotiable, even if it's just 5 minutes. Build in little "energy refillers" throughout your day.

As Josi powerfully stated: "Your well-being, your health is one of the key drivers of your business. If you don't have that, you cannot run a business." Take ownership of your calendar, embrace experimenting to find what works for you, and lead yourself (and your business) more sustainably.

Welcome to episode 153 of the master delegator podcast. Today, Kristy Yoder is joined by CEO Alejandro Girón from Circle audio company, with a podcast for brands and entrepreneurs' expertise. The two sat down to talk about building a trustworthy team during the first year and how a CEO can encourage and support their team to perform at their highest levels.

Episode Highlights:

04:34: How Alejandro got into podcast introduction

09:28: Starting and hiring a VA

13:33: Finding the right people and building a team for your business

21:03: Communicating and giving feedback to your team

31:43: From freelancing to founding your own business

36:23: How Alejandro delegates to his team

Building a Team During First Year in Business

One of the typical problems a CEO has in their business is building the right team. Either they find someone who can perform the job but charges too much, or they discover someone who charges little but takes a while to learn the job. Alejandro's first step is simply taking his time to find who he thinks fits perfectly to his business based on their resumes and interviews, then hire. The second is building a relationship or connection with them because he believes they must align their values and get along to work well with them. He even mentioned that it's always better to work with good people, genuine people you know will do their best with anything they're doing. Third, of course, the credentials and learning their soft skills. Lastly, putting them in the role, they best fit with.

About Alejandro Girón

Alejandro Girón has been producing podcasts since 2015, helping entrepreneurs in the content-creation, particularly with podcasting. He believes that creating a culture of trust among his team will enable them to work toward common objectives in a positive environment, leading to better business decisions.

Welcome to another special episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as Kristy Yoder sat down with not just one but two CEOs who aren't just business partners but also friends. Join this episode as Ashley Meripol and Katie Toscano talk about their friendship, journey as business partners, and how to automate and delegate to maximize your time in running your business.

Episode Highlights:05:00: The friendship and entrepreneurial journey of Ashley & Katie
07:40: Growing to a six-figure business
09:50: How Ashley & Katie automate their business
12:23: Automation in marketing
14:08: Having a system and process in place
16:11: Automation through Dubsado
17:40: How to automate then delegate
22:08: Simple automation tools for business owners
23:07: Challenges in creating “Cabot & Main”
27:17: How you can easily automate your business
28:20: Why do business owners not automate

The Importance of Automation and Delegation to Maximize Your Time
Through automation, business owners can grow and sustain their businesses. Automation is an application of technology to produce products or services that minimize human intervention so that they can save more time and energy and avoid feeling burnt out, such as sales, manufacturing, transportation, and utilities.

However, a fraction of a business that automation cannot handle, like branding, requires a human mind. That's the time when business owners should delegate. Like automation, delegation allows a business owner to work less but still manage their business to achieve the sustainable stability they want. The difference between the two is that automation is done through technology alone, but delegation is through the trust and skills of your team in the business. At Cabot & Main, Ashley and Katie use automation and delegation because they believe that growing a company should be well-organized, joyful, and fun rather than rushing from one urgent task to the next.

About Ashley and Katie Ashley Meripol and Katie Toscano are southern natives that have been friends for more than ten years. They have been working together in operations and the corporate world and combined their small business experience to co-found "Cabot & Main." They help businesses thrive and succeed by providing systems and processes to work less, make more money and feel joy in rerunning your business.

Today's guest of the Master Delegator Podcast Episode 151 is Dallas Travers of The Hive Company, which helps Business owners build a business they're genuinely proud of. Dallas talks about overcoming procrastination and overwhelm through the "Peloton Approach."

Episode Highlights:

05:24: Overcoming procrastination and feeling overwhelmed
07:07: Why business owners lack clarity and need to be clear-headed
08:14: The Peloton Approach
09:33: Creating your ideal week calendar
13:15: Turning your calendar into a vision board and time-blocking
17:15: Dallas’s initial approach to feeling overwhelmed
18:38: Hiring a VA and delegating to overcome feeling overwhelmed
21:37: Having a working relationship with your VA

The Peloton Approach to Overcome Procrastination and Overwhelm

Irrational fear, frustration, self-doubt, and anxiety are all overwhelming. It forces you to procrastinate because we prefer pleasure to pain. In the entrepreneurial world and as business owners, we believe that we can handle everything in our company, which causes confusion and leads us to ask ourselves, "When can we start?" Where do we begin? Is this thing going to work? It's like reading a book's last chapter before starting it.

Procrastination is simply a bad attitude, this is why changing your attitude toward work can help you get more done. Of course, it's easier said than done, so Dallas made a way to support herself to stop procrastinating and feeling overwhelmed; she calls it the "Peloton Approach." Dallas owns a bike that every time she walks past it, reminds her to be committed to prioritizing her physical health and mental health. Because prioritizing your physical and mental health helps you eliminate daily fatigue or feeling burnout in your day-to-day tasks.

About Dallas Travers

Dallas Travers is the CEO and Founder of The Hive Company, which helps entrepreneurs build their businesses. She's also the Creative Career Coach, founder of the Thriving Artist Circle, and author of the award-winning book the tao of show business.

Welcome to today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast, where Kristy Yoder is joined by Nick Fogle, the founder of Churnkey. Nick is an Economic undergraduate student turned awesome and experienced software engineer-entrepreneur who has founded numerous businesses. Listen to this episode as Nick shares his journey to his current level of success in the entrepreneurial world. He also talks about the importance of learning from adversity and its application to business ownership.

Episode Highlights:

04:05: Nick’s entrepreneurial journey
05:35: Learning how to code
06:58: The beginning of Wavve.co
11:30: Why Nick sold Wavve
12:58: Learning churn rate and building Churnkey
18:59: Learning from mistakes
25:05: Nick’s newfound vision
28:21: Why businesses have a high churn rate
32:53: Practical ways to reduce churn rate
35:15: Why are people leaving your company, and the benefits of sending out surveys
37:31: Learning the importance of delegation as a CEO

Learning From Adversity And Its Applications Toward Business Ownership

Everyone finds rejection and failure difficult. In business, you must overcome adversity without falling apart. Nick has overcome many obstacles in his current position as a serial entrepreneur. With a $ 250,000 school debt and 99% of his net worth tied up in his podcast software, Nick knew he needed to do something for himself and the people around him. Instead of letting adversity get the best of him, he studied Wavve's churn rate and built a new company. He established Churnkey, which handles heavy lifting and reduces churn, but Nick also understands that he can only do some things in the business, especially if there is more than one. As a result, Nick outsourced and delegated tasks that he needed assistance with in the long run, and it’s safe to say that Nick is finally in a position to focus more on growth and scaling up.

About Nick Fogle

Nick Fogle is a former lawyer who now works as a SaaS Founder and software engineer. He founded and invented the Churnkey to assist one of his SaaS companies in eliminating churn and achieving $140,000+ in MRR. He co-authored the Wealth Security Protocol and built an industry-leading Bitcoin security application while co-founding Casa with Scott.

Importance of Sorting And Organizing Your Email Inbox

Working as a VA, Louisa herself worked with a lot of business owners who found themselves in messy and cluttered emails. Louisa, who loves managing, started doing it more often for her clients and then used it to start her own business.

Lucky for you, Louisa shared a few tips on how you can sort and organize your email inbox to help you get away from cluttered digital space and never-ending emails:

Make Use of Email Management Tools - The easiest way to declutter and free yourself from unnecessary emails is by using an email management tool, like Leave me alone App. Basically, it’s an app that allows users to roll up their favorite newsletters, put all of them in one email list to read and block everything else that is unimportant.

Make Use of Folders - Another convenient way to sort your emails is by labeling them and putting them in a folder where you can easily tell which emails you need to prioritize reading.

Hiring an Email Management VA - Depending on how much time you’re willing to spend on organizing your emails and how fast and efficiently you want them to get done, one best option is to hire someone to do everything for you, such as an Email Management VA.

Instead of doing it all yourself, why not hire someone to do it for you so you can save money and devote more time to what is most important to you and your business?

The Power of Human Connection in Business

In today's business or everyday life, many things are done digitally, and whether we agree or not, our connection to others is sometimes sacrificed. People skills and human interaction are important in our daily personal or professional lives because they foster genuine bonds. Having someone to laugh with, enjoy food with, travel with, and talk with is a very effective way to build a healthy relationship that can help an individual get things done positively, get through difficult times, and make wise decisions in life. The same holds for businesses. To have a successful and functional environment in your business, to communicate what task has to be done, to reach the goal, having a healthy connection with people is the key to success, as it helps everyone, not just your business, grow.

The Most Effective Launch Methods
Amy, who has launched over 50 programs in her career, shares the most effective launch method you can use as a business owner.

• The Evergreen Launch - The idea is that you set up a sales funnel and let it run in the background. It's a great way to make your audience or customer take the next step of buying your programs. There's also a thing called The Tripwire Launch. It’s similar to the Evergreen Launch; the only difference is you will not use a gift. Instead, you can use a high-value but low-cost program you have to make them buy more from you.
• The Challenge Launch - This method is about creating high-value content related to the thing you are selling for, usually five days long, paired in your Livestream. You're leading your customers to take your offers while in your Livestream.
• The Webinar Launch - Similar to The Challenge Launch, this method is used in Livestreams. First, set up a webinar where you can present your adding value offers in a much more personal approach.
• The Waitlist Launch - This method works by sending out a few weeks of free content related to your offer. It provides a way for your audience to get on a waitlist, where you get to engage with your most interested audience and sell them higher-priced products or programs.

How to Delegate Tasks While Maintaining Overall Control

When Tarek coaches, he always asks his clients, "Are you working in the business, or are you working on the business?" Tarek himself is a fan and believer of delegation. Tarek shared his way of delegating tasks to his team, so business owners who listen to this podcast can grasp how delegation works.

Here’s how he delegates tasks while maintaining overall control of the business:

• Setting up clear instructions and objectives - Whether you hire an employee or outsource a task to a freelancer or Virtual Assistant, it's always a good idea to set expectations, goals, and what you want to achieve for them; that way, they'll know what and how to get it done correctly.
• Outsourcing or hiring the perfect person - Setting up instructions and objectives isn’t enough to get a task done correctly. Delegating a specific task to a person with specialized experience in their field of expertise is also a good way to make delegation more efficient and effective.

About Tarek Hossain

Tarek Hossain co-founded the Double Space Moving & Storage Company as an entrepreneur. And as a consultant, he worked as Resume Writer and HR Consultant for HR Connexions Canada. Tarek founded Small Jobs as a specialized business coach for solopreneurs, small businesses, and startups.

Having someone take things off your plate and make things easier for you is a great way to get your time and freedom back to spend on the things you love.

Today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast features Vikram Rajan of Video Socials, where he shares his journey and how he became an established entrepreneur. Vik shares valuable facts about how video blogging can help business owners grow their businesses in no time.

Video Blogging to Grow Your Business

Digital marketing is becoming increasingly important as the world revolves around technology. As most people now spend more time scrolling the internet, creating content is undeniably the most effective way to market your product or service. And, because creating content is more complicated than it appears, business owners do not have enough time to write articles about their company or create graphics to promote their product or service. The best way to sell your brand in digital marketing is to create content that creates a personalized touch, drives action, reaches people through exposure, and is much easier for your audience to enjoy. This is possible with a video blog, especially since social media platforms nowadays prefer videos over photos and articles, which the audience may find dull and not engaging.

About Vikram Rajan

Vikram Rajan, the co-founder of Videosocials.net, is also the author of 365 Marketing Thumb Rules and The Video Book. Vik has also presented in front of many networking groups like the American Institute of certified public accountants( AICPA), the National Network of Accountants, and NYC Bar Associations. Vik was also featured in the Wall Street Journal's Startup Journal and Entrepreneurship Magazine and was named a top 40 Rising Star by Long Island Business News in 2005.

Welcome to another episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as Danielle Mulvey, CEO of All In Company, joins Kristy Yoder today to talk about her journey as an entrepreneur and experiences on why and how to hire a 5-Star Employee.

How to Hire a 5-Star Employee

Danielle started her own business at a young age, thinking that hiring employees much more youthful than her would keep her mistakes hidden until she had a toxic employee who made her job as CEO hard. She knew she had to step up and ensure she hired the best, unlike one of the toxic people she had previously employed.

Danielle decided she wanted to help other entrepreneurs avoid making the same mistakes she did. Here's how she hired a 5-star Employee:

• Finding A 5-star Employee is not that simple. In Every 7 potential candidates, only 1 is rated 5-star. Danielle uses that 5-Star rating system as an objective criterion to assess existing and new candidates.
• Assessing each candidate helps you find the perfect talent you need in your company. You need to understand where every candidate can grow to become a 5-Star rated employee. After the assessment, you can find which role they are perfect for in the company. As a CEO, you can customize and personalize the 5-Star rating system based on your recruiting role.

About Danielle Mulvey

Danielle Mulvey was a former flight attendant who decided to own her business. She has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years and runs multiple companies with over $50 million in annual revenue. She is such a Profit First fan that she is certified as a Mastery-Level Profit First Professional.

Linda Barutha joins Kristy Yoder on today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast. Linda spent her career in corporate IT before becoming an online marketing strategist. Today, Linda shares her entrepreneurial journey as a CEO and why it is important to understand your role in your company to delegate to a virtual assistant efficiently and effectively.

Your Virtual Assistant Is Not Your Business Coach

Many entrepreneurs think that bringing a Virtual Assistant means having them do their company's strategy or business-oriented processes. They don't realize that the Virtual Assistant's job is to represent all of their ideas as the business owner and leader. Since everything your VA does is merely the behind-the-scenes work for your business, it is your responsibility as their leader to support them and ensure they can succeed. To do this, you should communicate your company's needs and wants, teach them your procedures, and give them feedback.

About Linda Barutha

Linda Barutha has been a business owner for over 20 years. She did brick-and-mortar, Freelance Website Design, and Graphic Design until she discovered online marketing and became obsessed with SEO.

Throughout her career, she has seen many people devote all of their marketing efforts to social media platforms without seeing any results. Linda and her company now help business owners increase their online visibility through online marketing strategies and SEO.

Outsourcing Your Entire Podcast Team

Being an expert in Podcast Production, Edwin Frondozo knows that he can’t do everything alone. In this episode, Edwin shares how he became an expert by outsourcing his entire podcast production team and how he does it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The first step is to list down all the tasks needed in the podcast production.
• Second, when you are done with the list of tasks, you can group the required skill-set; for audio, you need an audio engineer, a manager for the whole team, and an SEO expert to optimize your podcast show notes. Remember not just to hire one person to do everything in your production. It's always better to hire someone knowledgeable in specific tasks.
• The third step is not letting your team do everything without guiding them. You need to share your ideas and experiences with your team, teach them what you know, and vice versa; they will give their take on tasks based on their expertise. Teaching and showing your team how you want the task done by recording yourself and sending it to them also saves you time instead of going on the task every time you delegate.

About Edwin Frondozo

Before becoming the co-founder and CEO of Slingshot VoIP, Edwin worked at IBM Canada and Nortel Networks within the sales and marketing organizations. He provided key insights on the business and technical benefits of the respective product lines he represented. Now, Edwin hosts The Business Leadership Podcast & Lives series, where he interviews many influential business leaders in North America about best practices and lessons learned in building a brand, creating high-performance teams, and innovating an entire industry.

3 Easy Steps to Cut Your Business Launch Time in Half

Starting a business isn’t as hard for those with entrepreneurial genes in their family, skills, experience, and money. But still, for those who never got their business ideas off the ground, even the idea of sharing their ideas with people, is already challenging.

And that is why Blaire and her company help business-minded people by sharing these 3 easy steps to start their business and launch in no time:

1. Become official - Become official by registering your business accordingly. Many people treat their business as a hobby, which is fine because they spend their time and energy on something they enjoy or are passionate about, but treating it as a hobby doesn't make sense if it remains a hobby.
2. Find ways to attract clients consistently - After you've completed the first step, you must ensure that you continue to run the business until it becomes profitable. To do so, you must create your branding and strategy to market your product or service.
3. Simplify and streamline your processes - You must set up your processes more simply and efficiently in the long run, such as delegating and outsourcing. Doing so will benefit you as the owner to focus on growing your business and becoming profitable rather than doing all things in business yourself, which can drain your time and energy in the company.

About Blaire Brown

Blaire Brown is a seasoned entrepreneur with experience running businesses, managing major contemporary fashion brands' marketing and public relations efforts, and writing. Blaire is now the proud CEO of Visionary Advantage Brand Strategy Group. With her business, she made it simple and effective for people to curate and build their businesses, earning it recognition from Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, and ESPN Radio.

How to Go From Broke to Building an Empire

In her early 20s, Dwan grew up enjoying her life while still young. Years later, she got married and had a baby. Little did she know that things weren't always good, so she and her husband separated, lost her car and house, and had to raise her child as a single mom. As a result, she turned broke. Then she asked herself, "what should I do?" And a part of herself that had always wanted to own a business came to her, and with God's help, she got into house rehabbing.

She worked hard, took classes, knocked on people's doors, and bought every tool and part needed to rehab her client's homes. Enjoying herself with success from rehabbing houses, Dwan didn't stop there and went up more to wholesaling.

Dwan was able to turn the tables down. She is now a successful business owner offering Real Estate, Commercial Real Estate, Property Management, Mortgage and Commercial Lending, Real Estate Marketing and Appraisal, and Financial Planning.

How to Become a Master Delegator

Managing two people, a dozen, and even a hundred can be as hard as a rock, especially when you are on your own. For Bobby, you can miserably manage some people if you don't delegate.

Bobby recognized that he needed to improve as a leader. So he did that by mastering the true meaning of delegation, which is to trust his team more in their work and decision-making to help them develop a sense of responsibility and ownership in everything they do.

Here are more tips for becoming a master delegator:

1. Re-evaluate how you look at your team - Delegating isn’t just about throwing all your unwanted tasks to your team. Delegation means allowing your team members to stretch out their abilities as part of Employee Development. When you allow people to grow by delegating to them, they feel trustworthy, which helps them be more confident in what they are doing.
2. Think of your work as a tree - The most crucial part of a tree is its roots; in terms of tasks, roots are equivalent to the core tasks in your workload. Essentially, you must distinguish between root tasks that you must complete solely and stem tasks that you know other people can do and delegate to them. Later on, you'll see that by trusting and allowing your team to do those tasks, you were able to help them grow more leaves as a sign of their level of growth.

How to Achieve More By Doing Less

As business owners, we constantly try to look for something more as we grow. We envision not just getting to where we wanted to be but being proud of many more things. We do that by doing everything ourselves, whatever it takes for us to do it. But what if I tell you there's a way to achieve more by doing less?

Here’s how Felicia does it in her business:

1. Take inventory of how you spent your time - To determine whether you are wasting time or making progress with what you're doing with your limited time.
2. Make a list of the top 10 things you want to accomplish in a day - Categorize what you must do and focus on what you are passionate about to keep your fire to work alive.
3. Delegate the things that you can - After categorizing the list of your daily tasks, you now know what you can do on your own and what you can ask for help. Delegation does not only help entrepreneurs to do what they enjoy doing in the business and have more time, money, and energy flow in their life. It also helps them feel great about giving work opportunities to people who want to achieve more in their lives.

About Felicia Sanders

Felicia Sanders, a published inspirational author, and successful business owner, was born in Indonesia and found love in traveling worldwide. Felicia has been to thirty-eight countries and counting. When she was fourteen, the author left her hometown to pursue her dreams. Later in life, Felicia would pick up a master's degree in Finance on a full scholarship.

Steps to Creating Your Unique Value Proposition

Many people believe that creating a brand is simply identifying their target audience and raising awareness. But, for Jo, Brand is knowing who you are, what you are, what you do, and what you can do.

Here are the steps to creating your unique value proposition to build a strong brand:

1. Start with you - People say that when starting a business, looking for the largest market is the best way to achieve success, but this leaves the owner out of the equation. Jo shared what she refers to as Brand E.P.I.C.S. ( Experiences, Pains, Interests, Character, Skills ), which are keys to finding the business that best suits you, that will fuel your passion, and business that you will enjoy devoting your time and energy to.
2. Focus on your aligned avatar - Now that your clients know your story and who you are because of how you presented your brand. They will be more willing to work with you as they want to see themselves like you. They will be more inclined to work with you because now they see you as someone who can provide them the results they want in their business. Then you can focus on taking care, building trust, and maintaining a good relationship with your clients to create the synergy that makes working together much easier and more comfortable.

Starting with Facebook Ads

To start with Facebook Ads, you'll need a solid concept describing your service or product that you know people will buy while staying within your budget and generating revenue for you. You have the option of doing it yourself or delegating it to an expert, such as Delight herself.

Running an ad to grow your email list is the best Facebook Ad strategy. You can do this by giving away free resources in exchange for an email address. This is a great way to educate your audience about the value of your brand or to keep them interested in your new products, discounts, and other services.

Here are some essential things to take note of when running an ad:

• Set up a landing page to start converting visitors
• Set up Facebook Pixel to measure, optimize, and build audiences
• Knowing your target audience is crucial in knowing where to place your advertisements
• Creating something visually appealing that will entice people to click on what you have posted online is necessary.

Key Elements of a Conversion Generating Website Design

Going to a website but not receiving anything that indicates what the website is for and about is very frustrating, isn't it? So, in order to have a good website, it should answer these fundamental questions:

1. What is this website about? = A good website should indicate whether it was created to provide a service, a product, or simply a community for people to connect for a single purpose.
2. Why should people care? = Instead of putting everything on your website just to make it look good, your website should have things that tell people why they should look at your website, how it differs from your competitor's websites, and why they should choose you over others.
3. How does it work? = It is true that some people browse websites mindlessly. As a result, it's important to include guidelines that will assist visitors to your website and fully engage with it.

Why a Virtual Assistant May Not Be Your Best First Hire

It is true that hiring a virtual assistant can help you grow your business quickly. But as a business owner, you must be a "MASTER DELEGATOR". This means you must know what you want to delegate, why you want to delegate, what kind of virtual assistants you need, your goals, and strategies. All of these things are important to delegate effectively because they are part of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that your VAs must follow in order to function effectively in your business.

Hiring a virtual assistant will never work for you if you can't even identify what's wrong and what's needed in your business. Instead, you can first understand your business needs, such as finding, hiring, training, and managing your team, and then perhaps hire a virtual business manager rather than virtual assistants. That way, you'll have someone to assist you in developing your SOP and putting it into action. Once that is okay and settled, you can go ahead and hire a virtual assistant who best fits your business's needs.

How Should CEOs Spend Their Time and Energy

Racheal is an excellent example of a successful entrepreneur who has mastered the art of balancing work and personal life through delegation.

Racheal experienced emotional and mental exhaustion, even experiencing panic attacks. As a result, taking care of herself became a priority for her in order to think clearly about what to do in her professional and personal lives. She realized she needed to work less in both. As a mother of twins and the daughter of disabled parents, she hired a nanny to help her with child care and even delegated house chores like laundry to people in her community because she wanted to save her energy for the things that mattered the most. Racheal makes time for the people she cares about without sacrificing her business.

As a CEO, and as a member of the company, she has other things to do as well, so what Racheal does is make sure that she has time to work on the CEO stuff and have her team take on the other responsibilities in the company to work things out, such as booking her to podcast shows, writing newsletters, managing social medias, and more.

About Racheal Cook

Racheal Cook is an award-winning business strategist who believes that running a business shouldn't be complicated. With her 16 years of entrepreneurial journey and her company "The Ceo Collective,"she helped thousands of clients across a huge range of industries create stable, sustainable success for themselves.

Racheal is also the host of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast and the author of the Amazon best-selling books Fired Up & Focused and Your Business Sweet Spot.

Delegating Your Content Creation Effectively

A lot of business owners hire a virtual assistant or someone who can help them with their social media marketing and contents and then become frustrated with that person because of "a job not well done." This is because they haven't actually done the content creation as a business owner themselves, which means they haven't set what their contents will look like, sound like, and feel like when they get out on the internet, making it difficult for the VA or that person to create content that their employer would like.

For her, a business owner needs three things to effectively delegate content creation:

1) Business owners should have a Business Voice Style Guide. These can be for graphics, blogs or anything that is content. You need to set a guideline of how you want your content to come out on the internet. Like grammar rules for blog writing and captions, brand colors and fonts for visuals and tone/approach on how you want the content to sound like. Basically just putting your personality in the content form so that your VA or person understands you and what you want to achieve.

2) Have an Editorial Calendar. It's essentially a plan for what goes out every day or every week. Keep in mind that it could be specific or broad depending on what VA you hired or the content you're talking about. It can be what it is about, when do you want it and where do you want it to come out.

3) Always have a Workflow in place. A clear standard operating procedure (SOP) for any type of content you wish to create. Basically, it's about everything, from scheduling a meeting with the CEO so they can discuss everything the VA needs, to the approval process, who sends the content out, and who creates it. SOP is a set of written instructions that describes the step-by-step process that must be followed in order to carry out the plan properly. SOPs should also include the policies, processes, and standards that the organization requires to succeed.

Join me and Ben Albert, owner of the Balbert Marketing LLC, in today's episode as he discusses how they help business owners save their time, make money, help more people, be discovered, lead their industry, and achieve growth. Listen to this episode of The Master Delegator Podcast to learn more about his journey and why business owners need to build a long-lasting partnership with team members.

Building a Long-Lasting Partnership With Your Team Member

You can't run a successful business by yourself; you need someone on your team to assist you with all aspects like finance, strategy, accounting, sales, and marketing. Having someone you can truly rely on is important. To build trust, you must have a relationship that can sustain the level of trust required in your business. As a podcast producer himself, Asad, his graphic designer, is a huge help to him. He ensures that they maintain a strong bond that goes beyond business. Entrusting him with responsibilities, appreciating his work and time, paying him well, and treating him as a stakeholder, as if he is important and the business cannot function without him, is where they are in their bond.

About Ben Albert

Ben Albert founded his own company, "Balbert Marketing LLC," amid the Covid-19 Pandemic, prompting him to reevaluate his career in some way as a result of all the pain, fear, and worry for friends and family. Ben used his company to help other businesses grow, which helped his own business grow into one of the best young companies in Rochester.

Join me on today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as I talk about the importance of taking a break and allowing yourself to distress as a business owner by taking a vacation. Listen as I share some tips for planning an interrupted vacation from your business.

Tips for Planning an Interrupted Vacation From Your Business1. Plan your vacation in advance - To enjoy a worry-free vacation, you must plan and organize everything from when your business slows down and when to take a break, who to delegate tasks and meetings to while you're on vacation, and finishing up your job a week before your trip. One of the most crucial planning tips is to start planning at least 6 months before your vacation.

1. Assign a primary point of contact to stand for you while you’re away - As previously stated, you must know who to delegate tasks to while on vacation. That person must be a reliable member of your company who can manage tasks responsibly and make decisions while you are away. Two critical tips for this to work are to hand over your SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) to that person for smooth transitions and to leave a line for them to contact you for small guidance if concerns are raised while you are away.

2. Inform your clients of your vacation - You must notify your clients ahead of time that you will be away so that they won't get disappointed if they are unable to communicate directly with you while you are away. It also demonstrates respect to your clients that you are not ignoring them by being unavailable. Inform them about your trip as soon as possible.

3. Stay ahead of important tasks - Like what I mentioned in tip number one, before you leave, make sure that all of your important and urgent tasks are completed or delegated to capable hands.

4. Be proactive in possible issues - Major events should be avoided while you're away or near the date of your vacation, like having any product launches or contract signings around the time of your trip unless you have people who can handle those things for you while you are away. You can choose to postpone major decisions until after your vacation. More importantly, ensure that your team is aware of the goals and objectives that have been established for various tasks, and that your team members have all of the tools necessary to complete the tasks on time. This is to ensure that the tasks you delegated are completed correctly.

5. Commit to relaxing - While being such a hardworking entrepreneur and trying to juggle everything on your own is admirable, I would also like to encourage you to take a break from time to time. When you finally decide to take a vacation and do all of the things I've mentioned, give yourself some leeway and just enjoy your free time.

Different Ways to Repurpose Your Podcast Content

1. Using each social media platform's current algorithm

2. Changes happen in technology and business, and the same is true for social media platforms' algorithms. For example, Instagram is slowly becoming a video platform where using as many reels as possible is the best way to keep up with the trend and algorithm that will bring you enough traffic to gain more popularity and audience.

3. Put captions on everything

4. In relation to Instagram's transition from a Photo/Image/Graphic content Platform to a Video content Platform, not everyone will watch all of your video content, some may find it boring or a waste of time, so adding a caption gives them an option and stretches out your content for them to put their time into it.

5. Resizing and repositioning video contents

6. Again, 60 seconds video might find boring to watch and so, you can still use that video to clip it and use it as your Facebook or Instagram story.

7. Making use of Carousel post

8. In a podcast interview, similar to number 3, there are a set of questions in the video that you can clip, but instead of using it as a video, you can turn it into graphics as topics of the full interview in a carousel post type of content.

9. Creating audiogram

10. You can make an audiogram out of the topics you have in each interview, just like you did in number 4. An audiogram is similar to a video, but instead of seeing the hosts' and guests' faces, you can only hear their voices and see a waveform of what you can hear.

11. Using a good call to action

12. Calls to action are a component of captioning, but they are the most important because you must ensure that your audience or anyone who sees your content will watch your full podcast interview on podcast platforms or your website to increase your follower count.

13. Emailing each content to your email list

14. Sending an email with your social media content and a link to your podcast show is another way to get people to watch or listen to your podcast. Email is the most effective and convenient way to promote your podcast because it serves as a notification to people who are constantly on their phones and computers.

About Anna Schild

Anna Schild started out managing the social media for a podcast; she soon realized that everything she does is content repurposing, and she eventually began working as a Virtual Assistant. She now uses her expertise to help entrepreneurs get out from under the dark cloud of never-ending captions, emails, blogs, and videos by repurposing their content for them.

Tune in to today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as Phil joins me to discuss his business and Deep Work Tips to Improve Your Productivity.

An Hour Block

Getting into the zone does not happen every minute, hour, or day. It's natural not to get there and be productive every now and then. For PEOPLE like us or business owners, IT'S IMPORTANT TO CARVE OUT TIME IN YOUR DAY TO JUST DO ONE THING. At least an HOUR worth of time block is enough to just allow yourself, to work well, feel well, and focus well to finish one task at a time

That is what we call DEEP WORK: the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows business owners to quickly master complex information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will improve skills and provide anyone with the sense of true fulfillment that comes from craftsmanship.

In today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast, I am joined by Tracy Beavers. She helps overwhelmed business owners craft a road map of actions, steps, and creative solutions to get them to where they want. Tune in as we talk about how creating white space in your calendar through delegation helps business owners achieve success one step at a time.

Creating White Space in Your CalendarThrough Delegation

Tracy acknowledges that she cannot do everything herself as a business owner. She believes that failing to delegate means preventing yourself from achieving success. Delegation helps us reduce our workload while also making every task in your business more effective. Delegating helps business owners take on the load that is robbing them of hours in their day-to-day tasks, freeing up their schedule and allowing them to spend those hours saved on things other than work. Delegation gives business owners more time in their calendar to create a clear roadmap of action, steps, and creative solutions to gain clarity, focus, keep their sanity and achieve their goals.

In today's episode of the Master Delegator podcast, I am joined by Branden Cobb to talk about the different stages of a business lifecycle, the best and worst ways to delegate, and his success in the marketing and real estate industry.

**S.T.A.R.S. (Stages of A Business Life Cycle)

S (Startup) - This talks about the development of the brand’s Why did the business owner do what they did. How did they do what they did, and What do they truly offer. his also includes the creation of foundational elements such as brand standards (Branding logo, palette, theme, rules) and system standards** (team, plan, product, place, promotion, price, market).

T (Turn around) - This stage of the cycle discusses the business's projections, such as the Leads Development Department. This stage is all about determining what works and what doesn't in the business and taking action that is more beneficial to the company.

A (Accelerated Growth) - This section involves the development of scalable systems and processes. It is about taking and spending business profits or reinvesting them in areas where the business will continue to grow exponentially.

R (Realignment) - This section specifically discusses managing people and their egos in the face of business changes. In addition, managing changes in processes and culture within the business.

Listen to today's Master Delegator podcast episode with Chris James, Founder of Content to Clients Consulting and social media marketing expert, as he shares tips to help business owners succeed in their sales calls.

Tips for a Successful Sales Call

Prior planning prevents poor performance and sales calls are no different.

Here are some tips that will help you close out that client call.

1. Use Calendly - Calendly is a modern scheduling platform that makes it simple to "find time." When connecting is easy, your teams can accomplish more. This tool will also assist you in connecting with people who are relevant to your business and weeding out those who are not. It also sends a text message as a reminder whenever you have a call and is integrated with Zoom.

2. Record Calls - This will help you in learning and recalling everything from various clients for quality control. It will also serve as a backup list of everything you and your client discussed in case of misunderstandings.

3. Go to the toilet - Although it may sound funny, it is important to go to the toilet before going to a call because it may take an hour or two, and it will save you from having to go to the toilet in the middle of your call unprofessionally.

4. Drink Water - Now this is self explanatory. Remember to do it Always.

5. Have a Framework - Have some good questions, and notes prepared every time you do a call.

6. Have your payment link ready - Remember that they are on the phone with you for a reason, and it is important that you provide them with the immediate assistance that they require, so be sure to prepare payment right away after the call.

Today's guest of The Master Delegator Podcast is a successful Social Media Marketer who helped entrepreneurs increase their impact and income using expertly crafted social media marketing campaigns. Tune in as we talk more about Posting With A Purpose and making your social media work for you.

Posting With A Purpose

Heather believes that "community is the key to marketing".

Putting out content that people can relate to will make your content work like a magnet. Make sure that your content says two things. One is your purpose, which means why you're doing what you're doing, and the other is the purpose of the post, which means sending a message to your audience.

Why Do We Need to Work With People

Heather was doing everything she could to keep her company running "all day every day" during the pandemic. She then asked a former colleague of hers to work with her. Working with people helped her relieve a lot of pressure in her business, and she felt the changes in her business from then on. Now, she has successfully hired a Facebook expert and a sales director, proving that having people in your business helps you grow more successfully.

About Heather Holloway

Heather Holloway began her career as a radio and television broadcaster before becoming an entrepreneur. She is now a successful social media marketer who helps and supports entrepreneurs by providing high-end creative.

**Steps That Will Help You Operate Your Business In The Most Efficient Way Possible

1.** Understanding that you won’t get everything done when you’re sick. The sooner we accept that we can't get everything done as smoothly as we'd like when we're sick, the better for our mental health. Stressing out about all of your tasks will only delay your recovery. Because, believe it or not, high levels of stress can weaken your immune system. To be more effective, we must first restore our functional body.

1. Revise your To-Do List. It is important to keep your tasks and priorities organized because, believe me, cluttered tasks add to stress. You should go through your to-do list and event calendars and reorganize them based on their level of urgency and importance. You prioritize those tasks that can have a significant impact on the business if left unattended first, and set a new deadline for those that can be put off temporarily in the meantime.

2. Letting key people know that you are sick. Your team should be the first to know about your state because they are the ones who can help you meet your deliverables and even develop a strategy to efficiently align your tasks. Then, it is important that your client is aware that you are sick, as this helps in setting expectations, particularly regarding deadlines. It is also a way for you and your client to establish trust that they know you are not abandoning your responsibilities to them despite being sick.

3. Delegate those tasks that can be delegated or ask for help. Delegating tasks to a reliable team should not be a problem if you have one. Taking some tasks off your plate should help to reduce both mental and physical exhaustion, regardless of whether you're perfectly fine or feeling under the weather.

4. Renegotiate your deadlines and reschedule your meetings. In connection to step 3, Inform your client as soon as possible that you are sick and be transparent with the current status of your tasks, then renegotiate for another deadline if it can be helped. Still, being accountable for your responsibilities while being sick is a true determinant of professionalism.

Tips For Staying Healthy

1. Taking Vitamins. It will not only strengthen your immune system, but it will also help you function well. As a result, you'll be more efficient and productive. I strongly advise that you take the essential vitamins such as vitamin C, B, D, K, iron, and zinc. You could also eat more fruits and vegetables, which contain these vitamins.

2. Take Time To Exercise. Allowing yourself some time to stretch and exercise can help you feel better about yourself. Exercising not only keeps your body in shape but also aids in the release of hormones that promote a positive attitude and mood.

3. Manage Your Stress Levels. Although we can't avoid stress — especially in our line of work, where we deal with deadlines, strategize, and even organize events — we shouldn't let it take a toll on us. To reset your mind, I recommend doing some meditation or even yoga in your spare time. Taking time off to go for a walk or pursue other interests can also help relieve stress.

7 Ways to Handle Anxiety in Business

Accepting That Anxiety Is NormalStress is one of the most common causes of anxiety, and the good news is that it can be managed to some extent. In order to find a solution, we must first acknowledge that we are stressed. This acceptance leads to awareness and that awareness leads you into actionable steps to manage it. These don't have to be complicated plans, what matters is that you've acknowledged that you're stressed and are taking steps to alleviate it.

Practicing MindfulnessBeing mindful is focusing completely on the task at hand. Practicing mindfulness allows you to live in the moment, expand your awareness of your surroundings, and be more attached to your senses. That way, you can do your best to turn away from racing thoughts of failure and focus on your breaths.

Learning To MeditateMeditation provides mental calmness as well as other health benefits. The goal of meditation is to clear your mind of all stressors. To meditate, look for a place with peace where you can be silent for at least ten minutes. If you have trouble meditating, you could write down all of the tasks you need to complete before you begin.

Controlling What You Can And What You Can’t Let GoAs an entrepreneur, I understand how stressful it is to get everything done, and that is where anxiety comes in. But one thing I've learned over the years is that I can't do everything by myself, and even attempting to do everything will have a negative impact on both your physical and mental health. So, I suggest that you regularly set your priorities and stick to them. Take note of what can only be performed by you, and what are those you can delegate and control. Practicing this will help you realize that you are not alone and that you can rely on others to do tasks for you when things get out of control.

Delegating Some Of Your TasksAfter Knowing what to prioritize and what can be delegated, You can rely on others to help you get things done for you so that you can actually have extra time for yourself to take some stress off your plate and have the chance to do those things that you wanted to do.

Building And Sustaining RelationshipsEstablishing and cultivating cordial relationships with your peers, colleagues, and other business owners can significantly help you when you are experiencing anxiety. Having people who are on the same path as you will not make you feel isolated, and it will reduce your anxiety about not being able to make it because there are also people who are going through similar struggles as you. They will cheer you on, push you, and celebrate with you at any time.

Exercising And Sleeping WellExercising causes our bodies to release endorphins and other feel-good hormones, which have a positive impact on our mental health. While sleeping, we regulate our emotions, lowering emotional and physiological reactivity and preventing anxiety from escalating.

“To make your first step in the business successful, to definitely take a look at your life, eliminate what you don’t love doing and don’t do anything you don’t love.”

Today's guest of The Master Delegator Podcast is a passionate woman about balancing life's puzzle pieces and incorporating wellness into every aspect of life. Join us, as we talk more about health and wellness, her journey to becoming a virtual assistant, and the life-saver for entrepreneurs called delegation.

Detox Your Life

For Emily, detoxing your life basically means the same as detoxing your body. It's like removing things that are not supposed to be in your life. Eliminate what you don't enjoy doing and don't do anything you don't enjoy doing. It will give you more time and energy to do things that are a part of you. Having wellness as part of her day-to-day life, she makes sure that she has time to do it because it helps her be more productive and efficient in her career. Detoxing helps her bring positive and impactful change not only for herself but also for her clients.

About Emily Beck

Emily is all about marketing, wellness, and the pursuit of a well rounded-life. After battling Crohn's Disease for months, Emily became passionate about what it means to balance all the puzzle pieces of life - especially big ones like careers.

Her greatest joy is watching the women she works with up level, while doing what they love.

In today's episode of The Master Delegator Podcast, I'm joined by Chelsea Fournier to talk about how she overcame mental and emotional issues and eventually discovered her purpose: to help female business owners establish routines as a solid foundation of their lives, balance joy, and efficiency, and be present and productive. We also talked about batching content to help business owners save their time & energy.

Productivity Hack: Batching Content To Save You Time & Energy

Creating content, whether it's graphics, video, or a blog, as well as writing captions, where we usually spend hours just to find the perfect call to action phrase, prevents us from spending our time and energy on other tasks and with people around us, such as family and friends.

You don't have to do it every day. Batching with at least a week's or month's worth of content helps business owners learn more about formats, culture, and other things that matter to different online platforms. Doing so will eventually result in a difference in your workflow, as you will begin to be more consistent with your social media postings, relaunching or offering your business brand, and in rhythm in your overall workflow.

Here is a free resource that matches up nicely with our conversation. Helping people to develop a routine around planning out their tasks.

Never Delegate Something You Never Did

Having someone do a task for you is really helpful in terms of efficiency, time, and energy in the workplace, but as an entrepreneur, it's best to at least know something about the task before delegating. Your Virtual Assistant, or whoever you can delegate to, must at the very least learn from you how you want your task to be completed effectively. Being in charge of knowing or studying what you want to delegate can also provide you with an extension of your knowledge.

In today's episode of The Master Delegator Podcast, I am joined by Dot Rock, who loves streamlining businesses by analyzing numbers and people but later felt that she could do more than just numbers. Tune in as we discuss delegation and working in your zone of genius to get to where you want to be in terms of success.

Power of Delegation

Why should business owners delegate in the first place? Dot rock carefully explained that delegation is an art that we must recognize and allow in ourselves. Accepting that we can't and don't have to do everything is where the art of delegation begins. They are people who are always better than us at certain things, and they can enjoy doing it because it is what they are good at. Learning to delegate also allows us, business owners, to have more time and freedom, shift our mindset, save money, and focus on tasks that light up and bring in more revenue.

Delegate Your Not-To-Do-List

It's important for business owners to maintain their cool in order to perform in their zone. The best way to accomplish this is to stay within their area of expertise and out of the things that they don't feel and like doing. That's where delegation comes in; whenever you have a task that you dislike but know someone else on your team enjoys and performs better at, you put it on your Not-To-Do-List and ask them to do it for you. In this manner, you maintain your mental and physical stability in order to perform CEO duties and focus on your business.

About Dot Rock

Dot Rock is a creative, analytical visionary who combines her love of numbers and patterns with her love of people through her work as a CPA and HR professional. She quickly realized that working in public accounting was too focused on numbers and didn't provide enough people contact for her extroverted self to thrive after studying for and passing the CPA exam. She went on to work as the owner of a small business. She now leads dot Rock Consulting as CEO and owner.

"Before you delegate, you need to have a system in place for procedures that can work time and time again. That is what a system is."

In today's episode of The Master Delegator Podcast, our guest is 21-year-old Ariston Cortes, CEO of DonMedia. Ariston and I sat down to talk about how he made millions at that age and why business owners should know the things they are doing before delegating.

Scale Through System

Being a CEO means you need to find out processes. You need to turn those processes into systems that are tried and tested. From that point forward, you have to know that you cannot do everything in your business, so you delegate. To delegate, it's important that you know how your business operates because when you delegate, you show people what to do, to have them do it the same way you do it. As the CEO, you must train them to do the right thing and lead them.

“It's important to not shame ourselves and to not feel guilty about resting, because that is very important. Self-care is important and it's good for your mental health.”

In today's episode of The Master Delegator Podcast, I'm joined by Julia Toothacre of Ride the Tide Collective to discuss her life as a business coach and, more importantly, how resting can help business owners find their way to success.

Learning How To Rest

Many business owners and employees are so caught up in the grind of work that they forget to relax, sleep, and rest. Everyone has the right to rest, and in order to do so, we must not make ourselves look bad when we read a book or watch a movie. Give yourself permission to do whatever you want in your life to balance your time with friends and family.

Understanding What You Want To Do

Julia began working 40 hours per week at first until she got overwhelmed and began to question herself about what she truly wanted to do. As a result, she decided to live her life rather than work full time. Thinking that you have to be busy to earn more causes a lot of stress in her mind and body, but she eventually decided to slow down, pull back, and rest, which allowed her to think clearly about business strategies and focus more on her work on a daily basis.

Checking your team consistently is one of the important acts a leader must do and that is just one of the many characteristics that a business owner must have to be effective.

In today's episode learn more about it from Tiffany Prince of Prince Performance LLC, as well as how hiring a virtual assistant helped her business.

3 Must-Have Skills To Be An Effective Leader.

1. Adaptability- refers to a leader's ability to change in response to changes in his environment. Tiffany associates adaptability with Growth Mindset. Unlike Fixed Mindset, where a person's mindset is determined by their inherent nature, Growth Mindset is concerned with improving qualities through continuous development.
2. Connection - In this regard, it is more of a question of how you will do it as a leader. It is important to have a culture in your company. Create that and tie it to team core values, operating principles, and from it you can collaborate with one another to have a solid foundation as a team. Trust and Respect is the key to how you can connect to your team as a leader and reach them easily.
3. Empathy - In relation to Connection, Empathy is when you understand where your thoughts are coming from, the strengths of your team, and where they are going. From a practical standpoint, this is critical for creating diverse and inclusive environments and ensuring that people feel like they belong or as a family.

How Virtual Assistant Made Life Better

Business owners wear many hats in their businesses, but they cannot do everything on their own. When there is an opportunity to outsource with virtual assistants, take advantage of it because it benefits business owners and leaders in the sense that they don't have to worry about their business procedures because there is someone in their company who can do it for them and much better than them.

“Start with figuring out what you want and what you really need, then figure out where do you go to look for them and then make sure you filter and review and do the right amount of kind of process to give you real confidence that you're getting the right person.”

In today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast, Noel Andrews, CEO and Founder of JobRack, joins me to discuss hiring remote workers as well as helping people with great talent by providing them with job opportunities.

How To Find The Right Remote Worker For A Business Owner

Hiring is hard, there's no doubt about it, but as Noel stated, it's all about understanding what business owners truly want and need in their business, but the catch is that business owners must be realistic about it and not ask too much from that hire about things in which they are not an expert, such as asking an SEO specialist to do Social Media Marketing. It is also important to give them enough time, enough energy, and enough effort to take care of them to get the results you need.

**What Is The Best Way To Delegate

1. Make a list of the things you do**

2. Understanding and Knowing Allows you to easily identify which tasks you no longer perform to ELIMINATE and which must stay on your desk to DELEGATE. However, as a business owner, you must communicate these details to your Remote Worker or team member.

2. Give Feedback

• Delegating can still have flaws, which must be communicated to your team member in order for you and they to be on the same page of allowing it to be fixed on time and how you want it to be done.

Noel is passionate about assisting great businesses in growing by hiring new employees. He is the founder and CEO of JobRack, the only online hiring service that is solely focused on Eastern Europe and the incredible talent that can be found there.

“Leaders do have difficulties with setting boundaries with managing their time, managing their physical energy and their mental energy. Learning how to delegate, how to do these little pieces that actually make it that fulfillment in life.”

In episode 112 of The Master Delegator Podcast, I sat down with Desiree Musselman who’s been helping new and mid-level leaders learn to find joy in work and life by setting boundaries, building mental fitness and navigating challenging expectations. Listen until the end of the episode as Desiree shares tips and tricks for Managing Your Energy as a Business Owner.

How To Properly Manage Your Energy

Desiree made a point of discussing business owners' to-do lists wherein she provided a simple tip of prioritizing your sleep over your to-do list in your business. According to her, allowing yourself to have more time to sleep, helps you as a business owner feel your best, which will make you confident, motivated, excited, and passionate for each day of work.

She also mentioned that business owners should not believe they can do everything in their company. Allowing someone to work alongside you and have them handle the other aspects of your business is another simple way to avoid being a workaholic and it benefits in a way that it will save you more time to take care of yourself.

Saving Mental Energy Through Delegation.Desiree compared having a heavy workload to walking in mud — very slow and tiring.

Delegating some of your workload to someone else, according to her, helps entrepreneurs get out of stressed and overwhelmed situations. Delegating takes weight off the shoulders of every business owner, allowing them to feel joy, freedom, peace, excitement, and inspired to keep moving forward every day.

“It's not just about how much money can I make and how big a house I can have, it’s about how many people we can affect as an entrepreneur.”

In today's episode of The Master Delegator Podcast, I spoke with John Moore of 305 Spin, who has been an entrepreneur since 1993. Tune in as we talk about his journey and helping people out with their business through Marketing and Technology, as well as how delegation helped him in his long career in business.

Addressing the 1993 till 2022 Challenge

From the dot.com crash to the 2008 recession, John Moore has seen it all. But, for him, those aren't the most difficult challenges yet. Because of the constant change in society and technology running a business is difficult, especially from 1993 to the present. His greatest challenge has always been a lack of resources. It is critical to keep up with modern changes in order to remain credible and useful to customers, and so finding compatible resources that can help him with his business is how John Moore survived the challenge.

Delegating = Scaling

Entrepreneurs are talented and intelligent, but no one can be an expert in everything, as John Moore admits. Even with his sales success, John Moore needed assistance from people with the expertise he required for his business and his clients. This is when he began delegating, in order to provide value to his clients and grow his business.

His life as an owner became much easier as a result of delegation because he had more time to think about the managerial aspects of his business and make sure of his client’s happiness.

“The safer route actually is to diversify your income stream with multiple clients; not just have one. ”

In today’s episode of The Master Delegator Podcast, I am joined by SobeViral’s owner, Tyler Narducci as we talk about how he quickly scaled his agency to a multi seven-figure business and how entrepreneurs do the same.

Follow Your Intuition

Tyler was previously an underpaid employee who believed he deserved more and could serve his true purpose. Because he was strong at marketing and knew he wanted to start his own business, he decided to leave his previous company and ultimately start his own.

He was terrified at first, and a lot of things held him back from doing it, but he stuck to his desire and followed his instinct until he was making a seven-figure business.

The Big 3

For Tyler, creating a strategy that focuses on leads, teams, and sales is an effective way for entrepreneurs to make seven figures with their business.

Focus on Leads

It’s important that entrepreneurs make a steady flow of leads, which might come from emails, LinkedIn, and advertisements because it is the lifeblood of your business that will keep every process flowing continuously and smoothly.

Focus on Team

After obtaining leads, it is critical for entrepreneurs to fulfill those leads or clients in order to keep them satisfied and retain them. To do so, you will need a team to work with because you cannot handle everything in your business alone and efficiency will not be sacrificed.

Focus on Sales

Sales skills are required to get financing, excite and encourage the team, and of course, turn leads into deals. Every business effort requires sales, especially in the early phases of establishing and developing a business.

The Importance Of Delegation in Running A Successful Business

Tyler believed that scaling a business without delegating was difficult. Because a person only has 24 hours in a day to concentrate on something, it is impossible to focus on leads, team, and sales all at once. A single person can produce one good result in a day, but if you have more than one person working on your business, results can be made in a single day.

“Follow up is really great because when you follow up, you get sales. If you don't follow up, you don't get sales.”

Kerry Heaps joins me on today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast to discuss the art of sales follow-up for business owners with their prospects and how you can delegate this process to somebody else.

Why you should do follow-up

Follow-up is the closing process happening over time. The process of follow-up starts the moment an entrepreneur talks and meets with their prospect. It is important because it can stop losing sales and start seeing success with a proven and effective follow-up formula.

Few tips on how to do follow-up with your prospects:

1. Taking notes- Taking notes on everything about the client or potential client from the moment you meet or speak with them might convey the impression that you care and value them, which people like and attract their attention.

2. Doing things that other people are not doing - Another way to get people's attention is by doing things that most entrepreneurs don’t do such as sending thank you cards that they will appreciate.

3. Asking for referrals - Although not all initial follow-ups are successful, whenever you have the opportunity to speak with them and ask for someone they know who has a business as well, approach them and let them know how you can help them through your services.

4. Creating a follow-up system - Being committed to your prospect until they subscribe to your service or product is part of the follow-up process. Another part of it is leading your prospect to the next steps so that you can anticipate how to respond to them.

Can You Delegate In The Process of Follow-up?

According to Kerry, the calls in the follow-up process must be made by you in order to make your prospect feel secure and wanted, but tasks after the call such as sending emails, rescheduling appointments, and other administrative processes in your business are the ones that can be delegated to your employees or virtual assistant.

“I want to become and get my business where I want to get it to.”

This is Jeremy Blubaugh of Coinflip Marketing's motivation to become a successful company. He believed that by thinking in this manner and with the assistance of Smart Virtual Assistants, he got closer and closer to his goal.

Join me in this episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as Jeremy and I talked about how he was able to build a 6-figure revenue business in less than 9 months through Delegation.

How to build a 6-Figure Revenue Through Delegation

As a business owner, Jeremy said that he, too, started slowly, but with positivity and willingness to grow, Jeremy applied in his life what he read in Michael Gerber's book E- Myth. Reading the book taught him that it’s important to have someone manage or innovate fresh ideas for every business.

And with the same eagerness to grow, he joined a class named The King Of Sparta where he got the idea of taking out tasks off of his plate and focusing on things that generate more revenue. From that point forward. He reached out to find and hire Virtual Assistants and delegate to them and work with them as a team to always depend on.

Hiring Smart Virtual Assistants

Unlike other Virtual Assistants agencies, Jeremy preferred SmartVAs the most because of the idea of paying a team of VAs for the price of one. For a business owner who understands that they are only good for a few things but not for all, it’s convenient to have a whole team under you that can give everything you need.

“ What are their business values and what is the vision that they see for their business?”

These two questions that Anne Hill of Hilltop Virtual Solutions thinks are great to place your mind in the right direction to bring the right person on your team.

In today's episode, join me and Anne as we discuss her experiences in her own business and how business owners can tell if they are hiring the right person for their company, either physically or virtually.

The Perfect Fit For Your Business

When hiring people to work in any type of business, skills are to consider, but skills can be learned. Anne believes that knowing a person's values and vision in his personal and professional life will establish your compatibility to function as a single organism thriving to make the same impact in the community and business.

It's also important to track where you're spending your time so you know what tasks to delegate and who to assign them to. For example, if you're spending too much time on social media marketing, find a social media virtual assistant who meets your demands.

Difference Between Hiring An Independent Contractor And Agency

Employers and employees both have personal lives as individuals, and both can be affected by emergencies. However, by hiring an agency, efficiency in your workplace or tasks will not be jeopardized because hiring an agency provides you with backup personnel when your original person has to deal with emergencies, just as employers are not exempt from.

In the previous episode, I talked about why and how a Video Editing Virtual Assistant can help you level up your online content, and today I'm going to talk about how you can delegate to a Video Editing VA to help you build your business and achieve success.

Different Levels of A Video Editing Virtual Assistant

Follower

They have a limited skill set. They are only capable of basic editing and are unable to work without specific instructions. As a business owner and leader, you must be prepared to give detailed guidelines and instructions as you control the process.

Doer

They specialize in one format, which might be testimonials, snippets, or vlogs, depending on your needs. Video editing VA already has a format in place for creating a specific style of video, but you can always re-check in and give tweaks here and there.

Expert Video Editors

They fit with your overall business goals and objectives. Furthermore, they have a variety of skills that they can use on your content, as well as a plan based on your goals. They will require less monitoring because they will be able to submit the type of video editing you agreed on.

How To Delegate To A Video Editing Virtual Assistant

Finding a video editing VA to help you create high-quality video is a difficult task, so make sure that once you find one, you can build a relationship with them so they can help you grow your business.

Here are ways to delegate to a video editing VA:

Make use of task management tool

Content platforms are only useful if you stick to a system and utilize it as a guide for all of the content you create, thus having a task management tool helps ensure an organized or should I say systematic flow in your delegating process. Be specific about the responsibilities that your video editor needs to know about his projects and the type of video they will edit so that there are no misunderstandings.

Provide as many details as you can

Video editors would appreciate it if you provide them with detailed information about your tasks, such as format, frame, target audience, and platform. This can benefit you in the long run as they can develop techniques that suit your needs for video content.

Show them the peg that you want for your videos

Your task delegation process is providing your video editors with your logos and images, as well as your brand colors so that the film is consistent with the business's identity. Displaying pegs to your video editing VA can also make their job a little easier.

Inform your video editing virtual assistant of the order or sequence of the videos if they will be merging multiple videos into one

Again, providing these details to your video editing VA can make a difference to the whole process as it will be a lot easier for them to create the video you wanted for your business.

Always give feedback to your virtual assistant and be specific

It may take some time for you and your virtual assistant to establish a sync workflow or chemistry, but consistent communication will help things go more smoothly.

How To Get Your Team Into Team Building

As a business owner and leader, getting everyone on board with team building can be difficult because of the differences among team members, so Matt, a sought-after speaker, published a guidebook, Take the Fear Out of Team Building, to share his solutions based on surveys, common opinions, and misconceptions of what team building is.

What happens there will determine whether an extrovert or introvert will enjoy it or not. Matt believes in the nature of man, which is the desire to win, and therefore he makes fun and collaborative interactions for individuals to express their competitive sides while also allowing them to enjoy their time with the people they work with.

Allowing people to have fun through team building can help boost their morale and motivation as team members at work, resulting in a more productive environment.

As an expert, Matt also advised hiring experts in team building; those who know what they're doing and with whom you can connect in order to achieve the desired results and figure out what works best for you and your team's comfort level.

Positive Impact Of Team Building

Look at team building as a very important investment in your business that will make sure that you and your team are happy and working together. People who are happy are pleasant to be around with and when everyone is in a happy disposition, it also increases their productivity.

Lynsey Cowan, the founder of Elite VA, joins us on episode 103 of Master Delegator to share how she was able to make £10k a month consistently with the help of virtual assistants. Follow along as she explains how and what outsourcing to virtual assistants can do for your business.

How You Can Have Consistent £10K months

Have a correct mindsetHaving the right mindset is one of the most important steps you can take to get where you want to be in your professional or personal life. It's all about maintaining a growth mentality at all times.

Get a coachAfter you've established the proper mindset, the next step you'll most likely need to take is to have a coach to provide you with the support you need. Coaches can help you focus even more on your goals.

Focus on what you’re passionate about and outsource what you’re not passionate aboutIn life, it's important to allow yourself to have ultimate freedom or flexibility; you should only focus on what you are passionate about and outsource the rest. Doing so will save you time and keep you from wasting your energy on things that will not help you grow as a person or your business. Remember, that you need to create space in your life to be able to think clearly.

Self-beliefAnother important element is to believe in yourself, to feel that you are skilled and worthy of what you have as of now and stay away from the naysayers because there's always a lot out there, but not all of them can do what you can do. Don't focus on what everyone else is doing, believe in your gifts.

Outsourcing to Virtual AssistantsMany people are hesitant to outsource because of their budget, and this particular issue prevents business owners from doing so. Lynsey believes that if someone claims they don't have the budget, they will convince themselves that they don't and to avoid thinking about it, "jump into outsourcing before you even have the budget," as Lynsey puts it. What matters is that you stop wasting money on things that don't generate income. And as previously stated, VAs are experts in specific fields, so when you consider what you may potentially outsource to them, you're basically spending less labor cost because they can accomplish the task more efficiently and quickly than you can.

VA’s Can Do Anything That’s Business-FocusedVirtual Assistants can help you with everything from content creation to SOPs, podcasts, newsletters, branding, modules, and blogs, as well as creating an online presence on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and communicating with your target audiences to build relationships. Virtual Assistants have an almost endless list of things they can do for your business, but it all depends on how well and clearly you delegate to them. They must understand what your brand is, who your target audience is, what your specialty is, and what you're promoting. Another thing to consider is hiring a VA who meets your requirements.

What Your Graphics Design VA Needs To Know?

The first step is sharing your brand identity to your graphics design VA so they are aware of the look, feel, and visual identity of your brand. Once you do that, you can proceed with assigning types of graphics you can assign to your VA.

Product DesignIf you need a product designed, a skilled graphic design virtual assistant should be able to convey it through a prototype. Simply ensure that your graphics VA researches thoroughly to avoid concerns like copyright issues with other products in the same identity.

Branding DesignIn general, your marketing strategy should represent how you want your target market to perceive you because branding shapes a consumer's perception therefore, your portrayal of your brand should always be on top of your target audience's mind.

Website GraphicsGiven that graphics design VAs are experts in their field, they have a better understanding of user experience (UX) design when it comes to building a website. The design should match the type of branding your business has, so make sure that you take your brand book to heart.

Social Media GraphicsYour graphics VA must be capable of producing eye-catching visuals that will entice your target audience. Compelling copy and captions should be supported by strong graphics because they are part of your branding.

**Tips On Working With Your Graphic Design VA

Set Clear Communication And ExpectationsPractice proper communications with the team your VA then, choose a communication tool or platform that you both utilize and make sure that groups are properly set up so that everyone involved is always in touch. Create a standard operating procedure (SOP)**so you can simply delegate work to someone else if your graphics VA is unwell.

Set A Clear Time When Your Graphic Design Virtual Assistant Can WorkEnsure that this is followed from Day 1 depending on the agreed-upon set hours. Also, make it clear that they must be present and on time if they are required to attend meetings.

Branding involves so many facets and that includes visuals that are on point. Graphic designers are the ones you tap when you need someone to take care of your visual branding.

However, you might be wondering what the difference is between a graphic designer and a graphic design Virtual Assistant. Nothing. They are pretty much the same, the only difference is that a graphic design VA works remotely, which is ideal and more reliable for busy entrepreneurs.

Today, I talked about what a graphic virtual assistant can do for your business. So, if you're looking for more reasons to hire one, this is your lucky day because I'm about to present you with some real value to help you scale your business with graphic virtual assistants!

What Is A Graphic Design Virtual Assistant?

With their ability to construct appealing and captivating designs, a Graphic Virtual Assistant can produce visual concepts for your business that will complement any graphic content you require for a more effective marketing campaign. Hiring them can assist you in visually communicating your brand's identity and consistently representing your brand.

What Can A Graphic Design Virtual Assistant Do For You?

Graphic Design Virtual Assistants can transform your business ideas into effective and visually appealing communication material but what exactly can they do for my business? Here are the 7 common tasks a graphic design Virtual Assistant can do.

Website Graphics

Because most people are visual learners, they rely heavily on visual aspects to absorb information and determine whether a brand is fit for them. Graphic design VA produces appealing, informative visuals, purposeful and coherent visual strategy.

Social Media Graphics

When it comes to an effective social media page, it’s similar to a website. Everything is well thought of and put together and not just contain some random images inserted in between texts. Graphic design virtual assistants are experts when it comes to tweaking graphic-to-text elements that can be seamlessly incorporated into your page.

Logos

It is the first thing that consumers notice and leaves an impression on them. A graphic design virtual assistant understands how to adapt your branding into a visual presentation and effectively communicate your message to your target consumers.

Infographics

A graphic design virtual assistant can help you increase brand exposure, traffic, and revenue by providing visually engaging material that allows readers to easily grasp long information.

Image and Video Editing

Like photo editing tools, graphic design VA can do the work for you in professionally editing your photos or videos. They can improve and optimize your photographs and videos for a cleaner, clearer output.

Print Design

Print design can be difficult because it focuses on designs that will be printed on mugs, pens, magazine ads, brochures, shirts, and the like. Graphic design virtual assistants will be able to translate those concepts for you.

Business Cards and Email Signatures

As a business owner, having business cards in your wallet and a ready-to-use signature to authenticate your emails is still convenient. You may hire a Graphic Designer to do them for you.

If SmartVAs had existed five years earlier, Chelsea said, "I would have done this far, far sooner than I did" with her business.

Chelsea Sutton, CEO of Consultment Agency and Visibiliti Creatives, has been a SmartVAs client since February 2021, starting with merely 80 hours and now to 160 hours.

Chelsea joins us on our 100th episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as she shares her experiences so far with her team of virtual assistants from Smart Virtual Assistants. We also talked ​about how she successfully became a Master Delegator herself!

Why Hire A Virtual Assistant From SmartVAs?

Being a Marketing Business Owner herself, Chelsea started her company with so many things on her to-do list that she couldn't focus on the more important needs of her company. She realized she needed an assistant who could be her right hand and take on some of the responsibilities so she could focus on the more essential ones.

However, an assistant isn't enough until she learned about Smart VAs, which provides a team of virtual assistants with skill sets that match her requirements, saving her time and money on onboarding and training.

Tips To Know What To Delegate

1. Chelsea's first step in figuring out which tasks should not be assigned and which should be handled internally or by management was delegating everything. In doing that, she was able to find the tasks that weren't best for delegation and that then gives her more insight into how to run her business.
2. Another piece of advice she gave was to treat the VAs and treat the lead like a part of your team and talk through things with them, even if you're not sure how to proceed because your lead and virtual assistants can make suggestions of what to do next to help you build your business.
3. Getting it on paper was by far one of the best things that helped her decide what to delegate because it forced her to think through different things, in different categories, and then prioritize those things accordingly. Keeping track of all the duties or projects you imagine you could have can help you figure out what and how to delegate to your virtual assistant.

Tips On How to Delegate

1. Be patient in the process - Even though VAs are professionals, it's important to give them and the process more time to absorb.
2. Delegate Everything - As stated previously, doing so gives more insight into how to run your business.
3. Utilize a video call & recording system - Getting a business owner and their team on Zoom establishes a personal interaction that allows both parties to better understand each other both personally and professionally.
4. Don’t wait - If you were considering delegation early in your business, just do it and stop thinking about the process.
5. Be specific - Being able to ascertain and determine what the task is and why the task needs to get done and then assigning the task according to that goal or intention will absolutely set you up for success.

Social media VAs are more than capable of posting content and building your online presence on your behalf. They can also be assigned the responsibility of managing your social media pages and engaging with your target audience.

In the previous episode, I talked about what a Social Media VA can do for your business; so today, I'll go through how to effectively delegate and collaborate with your Social Media VA.

A Guide On How To Delegate To Your Social Media VA.

Because most social media virtual assistants are experts, they will undoubtedly help your social media platforms in terms of online visibility and brand exposure. Delegating some of your work to a Social Media VA is likely the efficient option you can make for your company and yourself. You may have a difficult time deciding which task to delegate however, worry no more because I provide you with this straightforward and practical thing you need to take note of when you decide to delegate tasks to a Social Media VA.

1. Inform your social media VA of the basics - It is important that your social media VA is aware of your social media links, accounts, branding, your aimed unique value proposition, target audience, planned contents, the scope of their work, as well as your business goals and objectives so that your ideas align and you know what to expect from each other. It allows them to assess what needs to be done for your page and determine what to recommend for your business in terms of social media management, such as the plan that must be executed to maximize the various online social platforms.
2. Let your social media VA present their recommendations - Once they have assessed your business page, you should allow them to present their recommended strategies to maximize your reach and exposure, as well as ways to communicate with your targeted audiences. As experts, Social Media VA recommendations are geared to your goals and needs. They can also expose you to add social media networks that may benefit your business.
3. Make your social media VA set up pages and profiles for you, and identify their respective target audiences - Whether you have or do not have a social media page or account that will boost your exposure and audience count, let your Social Media VA set it up for you. Let them know how you want to connect with your audiences in terms of comments on posts, and messages on inboxes.
4. Let your social media VA find your brand voice and create a social media content calendar - Because every brand must have a distinct personality when connecting with audiences, the tonality, and language used should be unique to your brand. In line with this, a VA should maintain consistency with its brand character. On the other side, by requiring your social media VA to create a content calendar, they will be able to easily follow your needs and communication highlights. It will also serve as a guide for the messaging and tone that fits your brand.

2. Reliability - You will rely on your Virtual Assistant 100 % of the time to complete the tasks accurately and timely which is why your Virtual Assistant requires not only competence but also dependability to get things done.
3. Excellent Communication Skills - I am not just talking about communication but also, comprehension. This is to ensure that your Virtual Assistant understands and is able to deliver what you ask him or her to do.
4. Accuracy Skill - A Virtual Assistant must have this attribute since it determines his or her ability to pay attention to details, which gives the employer confidence and peace of mind that the jobs will be completed correctly.
5. Pro-active Skills - It's a talent that demonstrates how much your Virtual Assistant cares about your business because it tells how initiative they are and how they will handle unanticipated situations. They will actively remind employers of the tasks that must be completed in order to help their business grow.
6. Honesty and Trustworthy - It is essential for everyone, not only Virtual Assistants. Trust is the natural result of thousands of tiny actions, words, thoughts, and intentions that create a good relationship between people. In business, relationships are important to ensure that intentions are clear and there is complete transparency.
7. Work with Minimal Supervision- It demonstrates how committed your Virtual Assistants are to the task at hand without checking in on them every single time. This also results in your peace of mind.
8. Resourceful -Your Virtual Assistant must be capable of finding solutions, think creatively, and sometimes managing tasks at hand all at the same time.
9. Organized - Look for organizational skills because your Virtual Assistant can help arrange tasks that are priority. This will help you boost your business’ productivity.
10. Value-Added Skills - Look for someone who initiates tasks that will help boost your business. He/she must also not wait for you to assign them tasks but this Virtual Assistant should be able to assist and anticipate your needs.

A Quick Guide To Hiring a Virtual Assistant

With the evolution of technology, it's important to have someone who can help you understand and adapt to these changes in order to help the businesses continue to expand. And is where Virtual Assistants come in. To get yourself a VA here is how you can hire one:

1. Define the job description clearly - When creating a description, be as specific as possible, such as your needed amount of working hours, specific area of duties, specific tasks, and skillsets that you're searching for.
2. Post-job opening strategically - Because businesses currently depend on the usage of the internet, there are websites where employers can post their job openings. You can utilize these websites as a virtual bulletin board. Choose a platform that caters to your specific needs, like SmartVAs. We are a Virtual Assistant Agency that specializes in digital marketing services that are applicable to practically all online businesses today. This idea is to narrow down the gap between you and the best VA that you need.
3. Consider budget and timezone wisely - You need to set a budget that you are willing to work within in order to have a variety of people as potential VAs. VAs are self-employed individuals who work from home. The time zone in which a virtual assistant is located is critical for your business before you begin communicating with them and scheduling interviews.
4. Maximize the screening process thoroughly - Unlike face-to-face interviews, which are not applicable to independent contractors such as VAs, interviewers connect with the interviewee thoroughly. Because the interview is conducted online, the interviewer must be aware of the interviewee's tone of voice, ability to communicate, and facial expressions. It is also vital to ask casual questions during the interview to determine whether you and your potential hire would be able to connect. Also, ensure that he or she has a strong internet connection, as this is one of the most critical parameters in working as a VA online.
5. Discuss the compensation plan - It is critical to layout the compensation plan clearly for all parties to have a good working relationship between you and your potential hire.
6. Hand-off task incrementally - To avoid overwhelming them with the tasks, start small and give them time to learn what works and what doesn't for you, them, and your business.

From the experiences I have collected over the past years in running my own Virtual Assistant Agency, I want to share with my listeners what a Virtual Assistant is and the benefits and advantages of securing one in today’s digital era.

What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant is an independent service provider who caters mostly to administrative tasks without having to be in a client’s office. They are mostly operating at the comforts of their homes but can still efficiently access the necessary documents, plan calendars, and be involved in planning and strategy-making remotely.

Virtual Assistants are frequently tagged and misunderstood to be just online secretaries for business owners who are in their beck and call at all times. However, Virtual Assistants are more than that, for most of the VAs, they are equipped with several years of experience from various fields in the industry, be it in social media management, blog post writing, graphic design, content management, and digital marketing. Virtual assistants do not just do what you want, they are actually trained to deliver assistance to whatever your needs so you can reach your corporate goals!

How can a Virtual Assistant help in your growing business?

1. Lowers your overhead costs - Since VAs are basically self-employed and operate remotely, business owners need not pay for the utility and other miscellaneous expenses that are required such as internet connection, devices, and other office-related supplies. Hiring a VA also cuts you some costs in terms of training as they already have the relevant experiences in various but specific fields. Nonetheless, they would still need you to provide some knowledge, information, and guidance on the tasks that they would be working on.
2. Increases productivity - Acquiring someone to handle your day-to-day business operations significantly frees up your time and reduces your workload which in effect would allow you to focus on more necessary tasks to help your company prosper and expand. As you give more emphasis on the crucial aspects of your budding business, your virtual assistants can definitely minimize some load off your plate!
3. Gain more freedom - Work and life balance has always been atop the list of what business owners want to achieve, but the question is, how? Worry no more as Virtual Assistants are always ready to help you achieve freedom outside your business as they can do the work for you. Having your own virtual assistant will grant you plenty of time to spend and enjoy with your family, friends, and yourself!

Karima has helped many business owners grow their service-based businesses successfully by providing them dreamy design transformations because she believes that every entrepreneur's dream, no matter how big or small, is worth the effort to support and turn it into reality.

Join this episode of the Master Delegator Podcast as Karima Williams talks about her experience and how entrepreneurs can save money in their business using the Wix website.

Make Web Development Easy With Wix

Karima chose to learn website building on her own after becoming frustrated with her former company that did not provide adequate support, and website specialists, who demanded overpriced fees for their services. She found Wix, online drag and drop software that taught her a simple and very easy way to create websites. Even after launching her business, Karima continued using Wix training and teaching her clients how to manage websites so they would not experience the same experience she had as a business owner.

Save More Time and Energy Through Delegation

One of the most common mistakes made by entrepreneurs is doing the majority of the work alone, such as editing, emailing, content creation, and social media management. Without having more hands to operate the business, it can lead to insufficient time for important duties or a lack of energy for the business owner.

"A lot of companies are evolving with their clients but not with their employees."

In this episode of the Master Delegator Podcast, we'll hear from Dimeil Ushana of Revive Company as to why employee engagement must be a part of a company's growth plan to sustain the business more effectively.

Importance Of Employee Engagement

Employee engagement is crucial for all organizations because it helps implement effective strategies, promotes a better work culture, minimizes staff turnover, enhances productivity, and fosters better relationships with colleagues and customers. All of these benefits impact company revenues. It also helps bring everyone together as one body, focus on clear goals, support employee needs, and develop new abilities.

Moving Forward As A-Team

The fact that Dimeil cherishes the health and happiness of his employees. For him, delegating correctly is through thinking that delegation isn't just for the Growth of the business but for the health of every single person in his team.

Ability to share duties, work together as a team, and develop a function that fosters each team member's strengths leads to Growth. As a team and a business, that Growth is the key to getting closer to the end goal of success.

About Dimeil Ushana

Dimeil Ushana is a part of Revive, a company that brings people together. We aim to make the workplace healthier and happier through shared experiences.

For more than a decade, Madilynn Beck worked in the corporate world as a brand marketing and advertising specialist for a large corporation. She chose to venture out on her own and start her own business, where she could freely express her opinions and do things that were best for people and clients, rather than being dictated by the corporate rules and norms.

As of today, Madilynn Beck is the Founder and CEO of Fountful, a licensed clinical therapist, and a business owner of two.

In this episode, Madilynn discusses how she grew her business by reaching out to potential customers using digital marketing and SEO, and her struggles in starting a business, especially the founder syndrome.

The Founder Syndrome

While most of us haven't heard of the founder syndrome, our guest who has personally experienced the Founder Syndrome and as someone who recognizes the importance of mental health awareness, explains to us what this syndrome is and how it manifests itself to the people's minds.

The founders' syndrome is different from the typical Imposter syndrome where a person is doing something and doubting themselves, thinking that they are not good enough to perform what they are doing. The founders' syndrome is the fear that your work and ideas will be ruined if touched by someone else.

Pouring Delegation To Your Buckets.

Being a wife, mother, licensed clinical therapist, and business owner of two sure is a lot of buckets to fill. Not to mention the fact that she had Founder's Syndrome.

Madilynn was able to force herself to have a team of experts that can help her feel great and not just stay okay with her business.

As a result of allowing experts to fill the gaps in her business, Madilynn had more time to devote to her personal and professional life, while remaining confident in the growth of her firm.

About Madilynn Beck

Madilynn Beck is a clinical therapist, a textbook entrepreneur, and the non-tech founder of Fountful. Madilynn had fourteen years of expertise in brand marketing and advertising for a multinational firm before she founded Founful.

Olga Ten of Upmarqt believes that she could help them save time and money while taking their business to the next level fast without the frustrations of not knowing how to find the right expert for their business.

In this episode of the Master Delegator Podcast, Olga discussed when to delegate as a business owner, the importance of knowing one's strengths and weaknesses, and the importance of having a clear vision for one's company in order to achieve success.

Networking And Referrals

Building networks and referral programs, according to Olga, are the best and most cost-effective marketing strategies an entrepreneur can use.

Networking gives you access to a wealth of contacts, including powerful individuals who can help your company. Networking allows you to connect with highly influential people who can help your company grow as well as great customers who want to grow their own business.

Having a good relationship with the right people can help you gain credibility and improve your reputation.

If people recognize you, they can trust you to provide high-quality service and refer you to their network.

When To Delegate as a Business Owner

When done correctly, delegation is a win-win situation for entrepreneurs and service providers. Knowing the basics of a business, such as your personal strengths and weaknesses, target audience, services, strategies, and goals gives you a clearer idea of what you can outsource to ensure the sustainability of your company.

Whenever your energy is being wasted by attempting to fill your weaknesses, you should delegate and focus on what you do best.

Valerie Fischer shares her story in this episode and explains how the pandemic helped her acquire a career in digital marketing. She also discussed how she helps entrepreneurs overcome obstacles, be more productive, achieve work-life balance and have the right attitude toward their business.

A Turning Point In the Midst Of Pandemic

Covid is a global pandemic and serious threat to human health that halt economic activities, however, it is also considered a blessing in disguise by some entrepreneurs especially those in the digital and online businesses.

Valerie got hired in a real estate company as the chief marketing officer but was fired as soon as Covid 19 hit. Entrepreneurs sought her, wanting her help in launching their new businesses or designing new strategies for existing businesses that fit the changes caused by the pandemic.

Despite the fact that she had lost her dream job in the corporate world because of Covid, it saved her life and gave her a new sense of purpose. In the midst of the pandemic, she decided to use it as an opportunity to help people and start a new business for herself.

Brain Science Selling

As a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner, she created a strategy based on her expertise and experiences that will help entrepreneurs overcome obstacles, be more productive, achieve work-life balance and have the right attitude toward their business.

Because it is brain-related, academics are skeptical of its existence and processes. Valerie highlighted that Brain Science Selling is just a system she used in her services that includes P.R.I.M.E. (Priming, Rapport, Intents, Meta, Emotions) which makes it much easier for her customers and audiences to understand.

“You can do anything that you want, and you’re no different from other kids.”

These are the lines Danielle’s mother told her which helped her become an award-winning children's book illustrator for Princess Lydia and the Fire Breathing Dragon.

In this episode, Danielle shares how she was able to deal with her personal struggle as a child and how her relationship with her mother helped her get through different challenges and inspired her to believe that she can do everything she wants in life.

Their Stories Are Our Stories

Join me in this episode as I explain and address a question that most business owners are thinking of, why hiring a virtual assistant is not working for you.

What is Delegation?

Even the better version of yourself needs help and support. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. There is no such thing as single-handed success in the world of entrepreneurship, that is where delegation comes in. Success is not an overnight process and delegating is no exception. Every process needs to be understood and executed well and that question is? How to make it work in time.

Delegation, for me, is the process of knowing what you can and can’t do. It’s knowing what you need to focus on in order to achieve growth while at the same time empowering the people around you. It’s taking on a leadership role that allows you to delegate to your team members with a big vision in mind. Delegation is an easy process if you have a goal and when you make it a habit, it brings you closer to your goal.

Reasons Why It Doesn't Work For You

1. Not having a goal - Assign tasks that will assist you to achieve your goals and not merely delegate tasks that you do not want to undertake.
2. Not setting the right expectations - Share your goal, give clear instructions and the results you want clearly to your virtual assistant.
3. Not setting a reasonable deadline - Understand that your virtual assistant is also entitled to his or her time and that your virtual assistant. is also working on other things
4. Not having good communication with your virtual assistant - Meet regularly with your virtual assistant and provide guidance
5. Not hiring the person suited to the task - Make sure to hire a skilled and experienced virtual assistant.
6. Not training your Virtual Assistant - Communicate the right strategy that you want your virtual assistant to have.
7. Being Impatient - Give your virtual assistant time to get to know your business. Remember that you didn’t hire a virtual assistant just so you can throw a task to him or her, build a relationship with your virtual assistant with transparency and respect. Simply because you delegate doesn't immediately mean that success follows, give success time to come for you and trust your virtual assistant to speed it up for you.

“How do I help first?”

Yoni is always thinking about this question and he treats it as if it were his life's purpose.

In today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast, Yoni Kozminski of Escala Consulting and MultiplyMii talks about the importance of providing value to the entrepreneurial community, network and customers.

Pure Intentions

Working with good intentions allows you to focus on who you are, what you have, recognize and embody your values, and boost your morale. Pure Intentions provide you with a sense of direction as well inspiration and drive to achieve your goals. Yoni puts his community first with the mindset that it isn't always about making money, it's about living out your purpose and finding fulfillment out of it.

A Key To Effective Scaling

A company that does not delegate will have a difficult time scaling. Delegation is essential for a company's success. Coming together as a team may assist individuals to focus on what they're excellent at, resulting in more efficient and successful task results.

Being able to trust your whole staff as a CEO is already a sign of good delegation. Allowing people to be themselves and do what they are most comfortable with will result in high-quality work.

A company that helps you turn your love for art into your “day job.” That's what Prelude2Cinema is. It's a film company that markets businesses using product placement and creates branding campaigns for artists.

Alex Michaels of Prelude2Cinema joins us on today's episode of the Master Delegator Podcast to provide insights about his company as they assist entrepreneurs by offering advice and a lot of free resources online. He also mentioned how the Internet helped him stay in the business through the years.

Connecting And Knowing Your Fans

Being a fan of art and referred to as a customer may sound inappropriate. Alex values relationships so much that he refers to his customers as "fans" rather than "customers." This kind of thinking makes reaching out to people a lot easier.

Not everyone will become your customer, but those who value and appreciate you and your work are the ones with whom you should build relationships since they are the ones who will bring you income.

Supporting Artists Globally

People don't take artists seriously. People only value logic, they are unconcerned of the value of good design and the thoughtfulness of art pieces. Prelude2Cinema is a company that supports artists, it provides creative business tools and a crowdfunding platform to help them grow their businesses and brands.

Staying On Track Within Your Business

Every individual has their own limitations, they get tired and burned out. To stay on the line and make things work, surround yourself with a team that shares your goals and trusts them to support you along the way, your business is nowhere far from being a success.

About Alex Michaels

Alex Michaels, owner of Prelude2Cinema, an “EMMY Winning Writer”, Producer, Award-Winning Director and an accomplished Actor has been in the industry for more than 20 years. After many years of working, he has learned how to assist entrepreneurs and artists with tools to help them with their struggles.

“What sets us apart from other agencies is that we focus on the relationship rather than the transaction. This way we can understand and achieve your goals faster and more effectively.”

In this episode, Derek talked about how his company, TOPSHELF, helps people with no prior business expertise create their own business as well as existing companies. He also talks about how he overcame his issues with impostor syndrome and legitimacy.

The Imposter Syndrome

Coming from the world's best golf courses, he established his company with the purpose of helping those in need, but even his Great Wil couldn't keep him from doubting himself. He was afraid that people would judge him just because he had previously worked as a farmer before becoming the founder and CEO of Topshelf. People who did not know him questioned his legitimacy, causing him to suffer from impostor syndrome.

He was able to expand his understanding of digital marketing and business development abilities with his friend, Dion. Later on, he answers and talks to clients on his own, giving them the opportunity to get to know him and build a strong relationship by earning their trust. As a result, he overcame Imposter Syndrome and surrounded himself with individuals who believed in him and his abilities.

Time-Saving Through Delegation

Without delegation, losing control of your time and ultimately failing to place yourself in a position to take on more and lead your team. Delegation can help save time for management and will allow more work to be completed faster.

Why Do You Need a Mentor?

Buying or selling a house or an apartment is one of the most important decisions a person can make and when selling or establishing a price for real estate, most people hire real estate agents to help them, but how will prospective real estate agents handle it?

A Team Around You

Delegation is critical for your success, just like surrounding yourself with people who help you.

Having interests in business and seeing others achieve their goals, Jessica Shipton of JES Solution Marketing joins us in this episode to share her journey as an entrepreneur and how her company helps small to medium business owners grow their online presence.

The Entrepreneurial Flare

When asked how she began her business journey, Jessica stated that the opportunity just came to her and that she really belongs to the business world as she thought about her childhood. Her parents both work from home as accountants, and her younger sister operates Bare & Berries, a cake decorating company. Her manager from her old workplace ignited her flare to pursue digital marketing and start her own business.

I.O.S 14.5 Update

The App Tracking Transparency, ATT for short, is a new feature of iOS 14. 5 that requires users to give permission for apps to collect and share data to be used in the digital world of marketing and brands. For Facebook marketers, If a user chooses not to be tracked, data will be collected just around their most important event or interest, on the other hand, Apple's ATT policies haven't yet taken effect for Google, but Apple’s ATT changes will reduce visibility on how ads will drive conversions like app installs and sales. It will also have an impact on the way advertisers evaluate and bid on ad impressions.

About Jessica Shipton

Jessica Shipton graduated from the University of Technology Sydney with a bachelor's degree in communications at the end of 2017. She also earned a double degree in Digital & Social Media and Public Communications (Advertising).

In today’s episode, Kristy Yoder talks about her journey as well as the personal struggles that she was able to conquer.

The Pressure Of Being The CEOThe position of CEO undermines Kristy’s confidence because she is forced to compare herself to other well-known CEOs such as Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk. Knowing that she comes from a 3rd world country, she began to doubt herself and became fearful of the opinions of those around her causing her to stop calling herself the CEO of her own company.

The Title of CEOBeing the CEO does not inherently imply that you must earn six or seven figures a month; rather, being the CEO means that you are the one in charge of the company’s way to success; it is your “Yes and No” that matters.

It may sound unlikely and overly optimistic to maintain hope during tough times, but Haroon Chaudry proves that nothing really is impossible. During a pandemic, he too is a victim of abrupt layoffs. He started observing everything around him and decided to help people as he utilizes his knowledge to help as many as possible to get back to work.

Be inspired by Haroon's story of getting back up and be motivated by his will to help others by providing a resume, cover letter, LinkedIn branding, career consultation to mostly student populations for Free.

Meeting The Manager's Needs

In addition to Career Consultation and Job Search Support, Haroon and his company provide Resume Writing, which is an important step in the professional career application process. Haroon shared a few pointers to help you write a resume that will stand out to hiring managers.

• Clearly state what you are looking for
• Write your Professional Resume Summary (4-5 sentences)
• List your Core Competencies (9-10 total skills, Soft Skills and Hard Skills)
• Minimize the number of pages
  • For students, a one (1) pager resume which includes nine (9) classes, a few achievements you received, and clubs you are a part of
  • For experienced candidates, a two (2) pager resume will suffice
• Capturing the manager's Interest with a designed resume is okay but the content matters more

Teamwork Makes The Dream Work

It is good to associate yourself with people who share your goals and collaborate with them, this will result in fruitful cooperation and the possibility of meeting or exceeding your goals. Given that everyone's job is different from one another, it's difficult to work as a team when everyone's role is so different from one another. However, once tasks are delegated properly and teamwork is established, those differences don’t mean anymore, leaving only the results.

"I also thought I have a lot to give back, I'm ready to contribute and give back." - Joanne Oppelt, CEO and Principal of Joanne Oppelt Consulting LLC

Giving back was the motivation that led Joanne to establish her non-profit organization and pursue her mission of helping the non-profit field.

No mission No Money

Government contracts only pay for actual expenses, foundations give no more than what is needed, business executives are not responsive to your requests, and you don’t have as many donors. It's undeniable that even non-profit organizations need money to make one's way

Non-profit organizations raise funds from donors based on their mission or intent, and Joanne's firm assesses the effectiveness of your mission based on its impact and benefits, which will help you get donors for your cause. She helps rebuild broken fundraising systems and helps non-profit organizations thrive.

Delegation Creates Balance

Delegation helps the organization's projects run more smoothly by allowing you to focus on what you do best. Delegating assignments to professionals that you are not familiar with frees up billable time for everyone, including you, to do what you do best.

About Joanne Oppelt

Joanne Oppelt, the CEO & Principal of Joanne Oppelt Consulting LLC is a seasoned rainmaker with a distinguished track record of success. She spent more than 30 years in the non-profit arena as a program developer, grant writer, foundation officer, statewide technical assistance provider, federal grants reviewer, development director, executive director, developed programs from scratch, found funding for new programs and she has built or rebuilt successful fundraising systems at every stop, helping her organizations grow capacity and meet more mission.

What exactly is a Serial Entrepreneur and what does it take to become one?

Tyler Mose, CEO & Founder of E3M will answer those questions for us as he shares his journey and strategies toward having a consistent and successful business.

On Being A Serial Entrepreneur
Tyler, who has created 7 businesses, 4 of which are still in operation, is a serial entrepreneur who experienced the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and has worked in different departments such as recruiting, marketing, sales, and operations.

As opposed to a Typical Entrepreneur who often comes up with a single idea, a Serial Entrepreneur always comes up with new ideas and starts new companies. Being a Serial Entrepreneur requires a lot of time, effort, and passion to succeed.

Investing Your Time
Learn to delegate tasks to people who are better at performing them rather than trying to do everything by yourself. Delegating tasks can free up some of your time that you can allocate elsewhere, may it be personal or business. Time well spent and allocated is healthy for you and your business in the long run.

About Tyler MoseTyler Mose is originally from Delphi, Indiana. He graduated from Purdue University in 2008 with two undergraduate degrees: Advertising and Public Relations, and Political Science.
He is the CEO and Founder of E3M Creative and has over a decade of experience in the Advertising Industry. Tyler previously co-founded a video production company which he helped expand to a multi-million dollar enterprise. Tyler also founded seven businesses, four of which are still in operation. He simply lost interest in the three that aren't. He's been through the highs and lows of entrepreneurship and have worn many hats throughout his journey as an entrepreneur.

In this episode, Trenia Norford, who has always been in love with love and enjoys helping others in finding their own path to happiness, shares how her company provides very unique matchmaking services for professionals who are struggling to find work-life balance, as well as how delegation has helped her company grow.
4 steps of Matchmaking
Connectricity is far different from a usual fast-phase dating site, Connectricity is a professional matchmaking service that is highly selective in finding love for professionals that won’t find it with just anyone. Connectricity provides a personalized touch to their clients, almost like a friend who wants to see you happy. Trenia shares 4 convenient steps to find love using Connectricity.

1. Matching/Discover- Customer goes to the website to create a profile and then you and Trenia can speak openly about what you're looking for and see who is a good fit for you.
2. Discussing/ Digging- Trenia then shows your photos to her other client, goes through your profile with him/her and explains why you're a good fit for him/her. If the other person says yes, Trenia will proceed to Step 3.
3. Date- Trenia brings you together with that person without disclosing any information, mainly to see whether you can advance to step 4.
4. Feedback/Debrief-If the date went well and the other person wanted to see you again, Trenia will give you his or her contact information.

Managing Work-Life balanceOutside of work, time may be spent on relationships, family commitments, interests and hobbies that would make you more productive. Trenia emphasizes that taking care of yourself is the most important aspect of maintaining a work-life balance because it ensures you the will and energy to cope with your relationships, family obligations, and hobbies, which will inspire you and make you effective in your life, in or out of work.

You're Gonna Get on your own wayHave you considered the fact that your solopreneurship mindset may be holding you back by doing everything on your own?
Delegation doesn't really have to be complicated, allowing someone to do your job doesn't mean you are giving up the heart of your business or creating a weakness. In reality, when done correctly, delegation allows you to improve your way to your goals faster than you could have imagined. Delegation reduces the likelihood of you being stressed and overwhelmed with your job.

About Trenia Norford
Trenia grew up in Brooklyn, Newyork. She started her career in publishing, Later, she went into marketing and sales and rose through the ranks of the banking industry, eventually working as a VP in various managerial positions. She founded Connectricity, a boutique matchmaking firm, in 2012 to help singles enjoy the dating process and get the results they desire in a short period of time.

In this episode, learn how you can prepare yourself to quit your 9-5 job and make money online with the help of Olivia and Alvaro.

"It's hard, but it's doable and the internet is incredible."

Olivia and Alvaro discussed how accessible and reliable the internet is for Online Businesses, Networking, and Affiliate Marketing in such a way that you, as an entrepreneur, can look at your financial status differently than before.

Follow Your Passion

Both Olivia and Alvaro didn't like their jobs. They felt unfulfilled and they no longer wanted to work for someone else. As a result, they gave themselves time to travel, meet with different people and eventually, it opened their eyes to different opportunities online such as affiliate marketing, and broaden their knowledge of the digital world.

Delegation is Dedicated to Growth

Entrepreneurship is more than just doing business; it entails marketing and accounting. It's not something we can all do on our own. As an entrepreneur, you concentrate more on creating business ideas, so having someone that you can trust like virtual assistants, marketing experts, and managers to assist you with other business tasks so you can focus on your job as an entrepreneur is a perfect way to increase growth individually and profesionally.

About Olivia and AlvaroOlivia and Alvaro are a couple who both had a successful career in financial institutions for a long time. However, they discovered that "success" in their field did not feel right for them, and they have established themselves as an example as successful entrepreneurs who sought out their own path to success rather than following in the footsteps of their previous careers. They are dedicated to helping the 85 % of workers who are unhappy with their 9-to-5 jobs and want to learn how to start and develop a prosperous online company.

"You have to understand the whole business. You have to understand the intentions of the business owner, the business manager, and the way that they intend for their business to translate for their customer."

Chelsea used her experience to share why it's important to intentionally get to know your clients and think of them as teammates in order to execute a successful marketing strategy.
Success stories are always inspiring when you hear them from the person who's had an amazing experience. Listen to this episode as Chelsea shares personal stories of how her organization helped other businesses achieve their goals.

Nonetheless, she made a few key things to share for entrepreneurs to fulfill their desire to grow within their business.

• Quality Work at the core of what you do
• Building a team around your business
• Delegate both of your weaknesses and strength with that team and learn from it

Not having all of the necessary skills to complete all of the tasks, as well as dealing with the daunting work and emotions from running a company can drain all of your energy. She reminded herself that finding people that suits your company and forming a team with them is critical to having a quality production and a well-done job.

Ruth wants all business owners to think about these questions to help them get a clear mindset for their businesses.

Learn how to be strategic in your business by listening to this episode with Ruth Gilbey.

Moving you closer to your Goals

Ruth is here to help you unlock your potential. She never stops teaching and guiding, but she does it in a way that respects the fact that every business has its own unique situation and personality. She assists you in finding your own path by telling you, "She is not better than you, she is not telling you what to do, she is listening to you."

As a business coach, she establishes a bond with her clients by exchanging ideas and challenging them to consider a way of thinking that might tell them that nothing is impossible with achieving success if we keep our minds open and listen to one another.

Being Busy Does Not Mean Being Productive, Being Creative is.Not allowing someone else to do the job for you will not save you money. It is important to let someone else do it and not overworking yourself all of the time is vital for creativity; having more room and time to enjoy yourself will contribute to improved productivity and that productivity will contribute to the growth of your business, as well as you, as an entrepreneur.

Billy Frazier is all about learning and sharing what he has learned. Billy had the opportunity to productively fumble through a creative career which is why he wants the same for others, particularly those who didn't have a head start - to build a world of business where work can be whatever you want it to be, regardless of who you are or where you are on your career path.

Productive FumblingNobody really knows what they're doing, so just keep doing what you're doing.
Learning as quickly as possible and going forward, accepting failures, and celebrating achievements are all part of the learning process, and learning is being productive.

Starting Super SmallStarting with 5 minutes in the morning, Billy eventually increased his writing time to 10 minutes, and now he is able to write almost every day. Billy treated writing as his habit until it helped him create his own methods, and turn writing into a natural part of him.

Self AwarenessKnowing who you are, what you can do, and your strengths and weaknesses will give you an idea of what you should be doing and what you can delegate to others. You will have more time to reflect on what you love doing or other tasks, and you will be able to give someone else the opportunity to do work that he loves as well.

Back in the day, simply buying backlinks will rank you higher, but since Google is becoming smarter and constantly evolving, it's probably best to keep up with the changes and adapt.

Ten high-quality backlinks are better than a hundred low-quality ones. Brandon emphasized that when creating a backlink, we should all consider the source's relevancy and authoritativeness to our business.

Just Keep Working on it

Brandon's advice includes things like "don't give up" and "focus on it." He also discussed setting goals because nothing happens over a day or night, and it takes time, even for an expert like him. It took him about ten years to figure it out on his own.

Getting free traffic and improving your Google ranking takes time and effort because nothing worth having comes easily. Everything will eventually pay off, and your company will continue to grow.

In this episode, Sam Moss, Co-founder of 1click Agency shares why it is better to focus on one or a few services that you are an expert in rather than offering different kinds of services to your ideal clients.

Father and Son Duo

Back in high school, Sam's father, Todd, asked him if he would like to run the business alongside him. Sam said yes to the opportunity and from there the business grew from just the two of them to thirteen team members.

At the early stage of the business, Sam and Todd did everything related to marketing, from reputation management to social media campaigns, they tried offering it all. Later they realized that it wasn't feasible and scalable. 2-3 years ago, they chose to focus on one core service and run with it.

You Don't Have to Do Everything YourselfSam said that in business, It is better to have someone do things for you. He said that it is even better to have a virtual assistant so you can focus on running your business and trusting your team does the rest.

You might be good at one thing but not at everything, delegate those things to people who are better than you, that's the purpose of having a team. It improves the individual’s productivity as well as the organization’s.

Give yourself time to make mistakes and find solutions.

This short but packed wisdom came from the Founder and CEO of Chi’ Pau Rebecca Wu. In this episode, she talks about the importance of building a network in start-up businesses, nurturing your relationship with your team, and the right timing for letting investors come into your business.

Listen up and learn from this interview all the way from Asia.

Passion for Fashion

With a background in finance and a love for fashion, Rebecca started her business amidst the struggles of breaking into the industry and finding alternative options for lack of funding. She shares that at the start of your business, there will be a lot of figuring out right from wrong.

The first years of your business will be for making mistakes and finding solutions for the problems that you will encounter. It is only after this time that it is reasonable to allow investors to come in. At the same time, because it is at the start of your business that your funds are short, you need to be creative and find alternative solutions.

E-Commerce + Incubator

Chi’ Pau is not your ordinary fashion platform. Behind those elegant and glamorous designs in the website is a support system for emerging designers in their early stage in the industry, learning the ropes of the industry and finding their way to the heart of the market.

As a start-up, she finds the great importance of working well with a team. She says that running a business is not a one-time thing, that it will become a part of your life and your team becomes your friends and family.

There are no limits to running a business.

This is what Brian Gumm, Founder and Head Roaster at Ross Street Roasting Co. proved when he started his business as a hobby while working in the higher education field.

In this episode, Brian shares his journey of roasting the best coffee, doing business, and working on a full-time job. How he balances things at every pace is a story you would want to listen to. Kristy’s interview reveals a depth to this entrepreneur’s adventures. Listen and enjoy!

Part-Time CEO
In the early stages of his business, Brian used to do all the hands-on works until his business partners and himself realized that he should be out of the payroll. Basically, because he is too expensive for the business and they needed to put more money on scaling the business.

In 2019, they hired their first employee. Hiring someone to take over the hands-on work like roasting, Brian was able to focus more on sales and marketing while having a full-time job.

Converting coffee drinkers into coffee lovers
Ross Street Roasters Co. managed to have a high-end specialty coffee category. But because they started in a small rural community, his first customers were not big city high-earning coffee snobs but people who are used to consuming regular coffee. Ross Street Roasters Co.'s vision is to turn regular coffee drinkers into coffee lovers, making them fall in love with the aroma, taste, quality, and freshness of their products.

About Brian Gumm

Brian Gumm is the Founder and Head Roaster at Ross Street Roasting Co. founded in 2015. With over 20 years of experience as a working professional, Brian has worked in the diverse field of software, higher education, and specialty coffee.

What you see is always not what you get.

That’s right! I want to start on the right foot here to make the seemingly technical, experiential for all of us. So, join me as we unpack UI and UX in a way that will answer your question, what’s in it for me.

In today’s episode, we dive into the fascinating but often misunderstood technical world of UI and UX. But before you doze off, let me tell you that my conversation with Ali Said, UX motion designer and founder of Temporal LLC, is way into the fascinating side of the spectrum.

UI and UX Simplified

Contrary to first impressions, UI and UX are not just for IT people to understand. Whatever business you are in, especially now that almost all of us have an e-commerce side of our business, UI and UX play a significant role in giving our customers the utmost satisfaction.

“UI or User Interface is basically the screen and anything you see in the screen while UX or User Experience is the user-friendliness of your app. If your app is hard to use, it has poor UX.” Ali put in the simplest term possible.

He further explained that having a bad UX and UI will make you lose money. And even if your UX is good but your UI is not, you will lose credibility. UX is all about the ROI, and as business owners, ROI is something we are so familiar with.

The 3 Most Important Things

As to the connection of motion design for our clients, Ali lays on the table three factors:

1. Motion can remove uncertainty.

Uncertainty is never a good feeling to give when we build a relationship with our clients, and one way to provide them with that certainty is to let them know that, yes, we get your input. The motion design in your app or website should give them that control and certainty.

1. It can hide latency

Hiding latency is all about easing the waiting time. A simple loader can assure your client that the machine is thinking and something is happening.

1. It can improve navigation.

Every time you navigate, there is a risk of a state of disorientation. Whenever you interact with an app, there’s a risk of some confusion, disruption, or disorientation. Your motion design should prevent that when it shows users clearly where they are at in the process of using your app or website.

About Ali Said

Ali Said is a UX Motion Designer and founder of Temporal, LLC. He provides Motion design systems and workshops to product and engineering teams throughout the US. He also offers an online one-on-one mentorship program so you can learn how to leverage motion design to improve user experience. He's worked on motion design systems for companies like LinkedIn, Intuit, Walgreens, and BMW Technology Corporation.

He and Kristy discussed why it is important to have goals, know what you want to do clearly, implement your goals, and setting important key indicators to measure your success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• Not every company that opens a business knows everything. Even if they know a lot from the start, essential factors affect businesses like time and environmental changes.
• The challenges of new businesses are building a team, making it work, and articulating what they plan to accomplish. It is crucial for business owners to communicate a clear message of their story concisely.
• Being creative is necessary for being relevant as a business.
• Do not be afraid of evolving. Do not be stuck on a certain mindset.
• Content creation is significant, but it doesn’t mean that you have to be always on top of it. You can outsource your social media marketing to those who know how to do it.
• The answers are out there. You just need to put the pieces of the puzzles right and make them fit together. You don’t have to do it all by yourself.
• It all comes down to your goals and what resources are needed to meet those goals.
• It’s one thing to get the data but another thing to actually act on it and put the plan together and set the performance indicator of what you’re trying to accomplish.
• Keep believing in yourself and in what you’re doing. If you have that belief, it will radiate to everyone around you, like your customers and your associates.
• Be aware of what’s around you but do not be distracted. Learn to discern noise from valuable information.

In this episode, Chelsea Cohen, an Amazon inventory management expert and the co-founder of SoStocked.com, talks about how she successfully manages three businesses by hiring virtual assistants overseas. She also shares how they developed an inventory software that made inventory easy and efficient. Listen up and learn how to level-up your business in today’s episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• If you want to do well on Amazon, fix your product and make it better than others based on the negative reviews on similar products and make sure you put those improvements on your listing.
• It is better to focus on one thing and finish it rather than multitasking because a lot of time is wasted through the context switching between tasks.
• Operate your business and life by finding that one thing that you can do that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary.
• Delegate tasks that you will be affected emotionally by if you work on them too closely. This is not only because of the time wasted but also because of the energy wasted on the mood shifts that lessens your productivity.
• You have to check if things are being done right when you delegate and when you see that it is being done right, then it’s time to move on and divert your focus to something else.
• Networking is a big part of being connected to what’s going on around you.
• Do not assume that there’s no one can replace a task for you.
• Do not assume that you cannot get someone from overseas because of your budget limitation.
