The Productivity Pod(cast)

View Details

As the Founder and CEO of Becoming Iconic®️, she uses her expertise as a Global Business and Lifestyle Mentor, to help entrepreneurs grow profitable and aligned businesses and lives. She is known as a mentor who supports women in ultimate fulfillment.

She teaches that women don't have to sacrifice their lives and can do everything really well. To do this, she believes that sales is key. Sales is the lifeblood of any business and is necessary to make money and support a family.

In this episode, she talks about focusing on one product or service so entrepreneurs can hone their skills and refine their messaging. This will help them to create a signature program that can be repurposed and used as a residual passive income.

Additionally, by being honest and open with customers, entrepreneurs can create an environment of trust and understanding. They can let customers know that they are figuring out the business in real time and that the purpose of the program is to work together to create a successful business.

We are going to take a break this week and share an episode that we did (Episode 108) a while back all about Days by Design.

This is an important topic as this is one of the main pillars behind BCO and what we teach and stand for so you can create a business without burnout.

Too many business owners are experiencing burnout because they feel they must spend most of their time in their business and a little bit of their time focusing on the 6 F’s that are important categories in life. These 6 F’s are:

Financial

Family

Friends

Fun

Fitness

Fulfillment

We share how important it is to create routines and habits that are important to balance (without burnout) all by leveraging how to build out your calendar using a simple system that works for you instead of against you.

We also have a private podcast that goes deeper into the topic that you can listen to for free.

In this episode, we talk about what to do when we don't reach our goals. We reflect by discussing the goals we set for February, which included having personal time and vacation days as well as achieving revenue goals and other projects.

Poor time management is the biggest reason why people fail to hit their goals, and we suggest utilizing our "Days by Design" method to help organize time.

Time management is an essential skill for everyone, especially entrepreneurs. It is important to be able to properly manage your time in order to reach your goals and be successful. It can be difficult to manage your time wisely, but it is essential to reach your goals.

Every month, it's the same story: the new month arrives and we ask ourselves, “now what?” We can’t help but feel like there’s a need to do something, to make a change, to be productive. But what if I told you that business success isn’t about the “sexy” new strategies and tactics? It’s about the “boring” stuff.

It’s about planning and pivoting proactively. Business success is about creating a plan and sticking to it. It’s about having the discipline to create systems and routines of planning for the month, planning for the week, and being proactive.

This means setting goals and taking the necessary steps to achieve them. It also means learning how to pivot when the plan isn’t working and always going back to the big picture. It’s about reverse engineering things and constantly checking in to make sure that it’s working.

One way to be proactive is to use the three Ps of productivity: planning, pivoting, and end-of-day routines. Planning helps us to have more control over our income and our calendar. Pivoting allows us to make changes when the plan isn’t working. And end-of-day routines help us to be proactive and not constantly reactive.

In this episode, we give advice on how to plan and pivot in order to be successful in business. We talk about how important planning, creating systems and routines, and reverse engineering are to maintain a six-figure business. We advise against distracting yourself with new tasks and provide tips on how to detox, purify, and manage your calendar.

At the end of the day, it’s all about having the discipline to create systems and routines and sticking to them. The dollars are made when we have routines in place. Business is built in the boring.

The hustle and bustle of life as an entrepreneur can be overwhelming. With multiple businesses, tasks, and responsibilities, it can be difficult to stay organized and on top of everything. In order to maximize productivity and efficiency, it is important to automate processes whenever possible. Automation can help save time and energy, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on the more important aspects of their businesses.

Windy, the Wine Queen, knows all too well the importance of automation. She has multiple businesses, including One Hope Wine, The Dusty Bottle Dry Bar, and Winchester's Wings, a nonprofit animal charity. With so much on her plate, Windy found it difficult to keep track of everything and manage her time effectively. That is until she integrated 17 Hats into her website.

17 Hats is an automated system that allowed Windy to save time and energy. It took the tedious tasks of answering questions and submitting documents off of her plate, allowing her to focus on the more important aspects of her businesses. Windy was also able to color code her calendar, making it easier to stay organized and on top of her tasks.

Automation can be a lifesaver for entrepreneurs, allowing them to focus their time and energy on the more important aspects of their businesses. Wendy's story is a testament to the importance of automation and the time it can save. Automating processes and tasks can help entrepreneurs stay organized, maximize productivity, and even make more time for themselves.

In this episode, Brittany talks about some events in her business that caused her to almost burn her business down and give up.

In this episode, she covers:

What it was like growing up in a low-income family and becoming independent at an early age
Some of the red flags that came up early in her business working with a client that eventually conned her out of $10K in 2019.

We are back!! We have been on break since May of last year!

We started the podcast with seasons on purpose - we needed space to do less and figure things out.

In this episode, we give you an update on life and what happened in the business in 2022.

From almost burning the business down to personal stuff going on, starting therapy, reevaluating of the business, etc, we realized the pandemic hit entrepreneurs differently.

Tap into this episode where I shared how I went from being ready to quit my business to signing my largest contract ever in 6 months.

We are starting a New Year with many unvalidated predictions regarding the world around us and it is business impacting. In 2023, we share actions you can take to do more while consuming less. We launched a new membership called Productivity on Purpose to help with just that.

Imagine a world where you get paid…..well….for something you’d happily do for free! Well, if you have a free community, you’re halfway there!

Oh, one more question…..when is the last time you took a “spa day” in your business? If this is a new concept for you, this episode is for you, because we’re talking about how systems are the self care for your business.

Because, if you don’t, you are not doing the self care for your business and what happens when you don’t do self care for yourself?

Welcome back for Season 5!

Have you ever said to yourself, “Well, I just don’t know what I don’t know”? Do you use that as an excuse to keep doing the same things inside your business because learning a new method is intimidating? If I’m describing you…..let me tell you, there is a better way to be more productive in your business! Stop hiding behind “I don’t know what I don’t know”, listen to this episode and find new ways to make your business work for you instead of the other way around.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to assess your digital workspace and organize it to work effectively for you
Having too many tabs open is actually killing your productivity
Choosing one business “hub” where everything can land can make your life so much easier
Why something as simple as consolidating your notetaking can shift your mindset and streamline so many things inside your business
The importance of password managers and how large a game changer they can truly be
Forming an end of day routine through processing, planning and preparing

Quote from the show - “The biggest thing to remember is that it’s not necessarily setting up the automation that’s hard, or setting up these things that’s hard. It’s just knowing the things that are going to make the biggest impact for your business and making sure you’re not automating processes before you have streamlined them.”

Have you ever gone to purchase something on your favorite website or had a product recommended to you only to be jaded when you have a bad customer experience?

Now, have you ever considered the message you’re putting out to potential clients through the client experience in your business? If you haven't, well you might want to give today’s episode a listen.

As entrepreneurs, there are 1,000’s of decisions we make everyday that determine the short-term and long-term success of our business. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in how others think we should run our business, that we forget to ask what we want out of our business for ourselves. If you’ve ever been there…..or are currently there…..this episode is for you!

In today’s episode, I talk to Tina Forsyth of Tina Forsyth and Founder of the International Association of Online Business Managers.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why being selfish in your business goals can lead to greater personal fulfillment
Avoiding being reactive in your business so you don’t move further away from your goals
Paying attention to others that have laid groundwork in your industry while being true to what’s important to you
How to make decisions that fit into your personal goals
The importance between Outside-In decisions and Inside-Out decisions

Tina Forsyth is a pioneer of systems and specifically systems in online businesses. She trains and coaches business owners in building online businesses, building agencies, virtual hiring and leadership and I think your audience will really love her teaching and insights.

Tina is on a mission to free women up to be who they really are (and stop trying to be something they are not!) When that happens, her clients own their power and pay it forward in their communities, illuminating the people around them. That’s the empowerment ripple.

It’s a fitting metaphor because the women she works with are forces of nature. For over twenty years she’s worked with 6 and 7 figure business owners to shift them out of burnout so they can shine.

The people Tina supports are doing great things in the world and she’s been busy doing the same in her career. Tina is a pioneer in the world of online business – having founded and built the organization that is home for the Certified OBM®️ Training.

In the 12+ years since its inception, the Online Business Manager industry has become established as a key role on the team of fast-growing online and virtually based businesses. Through the International Association of Online Business Managers, Tina is an industry champion, connecting business owners with OBMs who can help them thrive!

Quote from the show-“If you have a smooth onboarding process, if you are super-organized, if you have checklists, if you walk them through an experience, you’re going to stand out over top a lot of people. So, not just the service you offer, and your value that you’re going to bring.

Quote from the show- “You have to know what your focus is. Because, your focus, as someone who’s building a business full-time while working full-time is very different than somebody that is building a business, like, full full-time. Like, they don’t have other responsibilities. So, what you can accomplish versus what others can accomplish is going to be very different. And, it took me awhile to just say, “you know what, that’s okay”.”

Do you have a goldendoodle? Oh my! I have a goldendoodle, too! Let’s do business together!

If only generating leads were that easy, right? Well, guess what…..it REALLY can be that easy! If you find yourself constantly struggling to generate leads for your small business, this episode is for you!

In today’s podcast, I’m going to be covering some useful tips and tricks that have helped me cultivate leads and turn them into clients! I know, this can be an intimidating process and often feel like a burden, but if you aren’t constantly looking for new clients, can your business survive?

Be persistent. Be persistent. Be persistent. Always assume a client is a “yes” until you ACTUALLY hear them say “no”. Sometimes it takes time for clients to warm up to your greatness…..but once you have them, you’ll be able to show them how valuable an asset you can be to their business.

My tips for generating more leads in less time:

Block 1 hour per day to look for leads but ACTUALLY put it in your calendar!
Identify where your ideal client hangs out (Facebook Groups, Instagram), do some research on a potential client, find something you have in common, then reach out and connect if they seem like a good fit.
Follow up. FOLLOW up. FOLLOW UP!
Hop a call and see where things go. Let people know what you can offer and see if they’re interested.
Book clients.
Be consistent with the steps you set up. If you schedule time to look for leads, then do it. If you haven’t sent the follow up email you’ve been planning to send…..send it!
Refine your steps. Repeat.

I know, generating leads can be an arduous process and not everyone is comfortable being a “salesy” person, but there is a difference in being “salesy” and “slimy”. If you follow my simple steps, and incorporate things that work for you, the leads will come without one ounce of slime!

Happy New Year!

Are you running a small business but feel overwhelmed by robust program management tools like Asana, Trello or ClickUp? Well, the first episode of 2021 is for you!

In this episode, I’m going to give you tips for “Power Planning” without needing a project management tool! Don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE FAN of project management tools, but understand the overwhelm that can come when trying to use them for the first time. You don’t want to end up letting these tools work you, when they should be working FOR you.

When in doubt, fall back to my 3 P’s of Productivity:

Process- Create a list of all your tasks for the week
- Grab a piece of paper, or your favorite IPad, and just braindump EVERYTHING
- Use Personal & BCO Buckets - How can you color coordinate to differentiate tasks and Organize.
Plan- Setup a Google Calendar
- Time Block your week based on your task list
- DON’T PROCRASTINATE! Be proactive with your time
- Add buffer time to your calendar
- - Driving Time
  - Planning Time
  - Marketing Time
  - Time Before and After Calls
- MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF!
- Again, color coordinate your tasks to see how you’re balancing things
Prepare- Make a plan for the week
- How are you preparing for client calls?
- Do you have everything you need?

Well, here we are, at the beginning of the holiday season and your “to-do” list as a business owner just keeps growing and growing! Are you feeling overwhelmed and just not sure how you’re going to make it through? Well, today’s episode might just help put you in the right frame of mind to tackle the holiday season head-on and keep you from feeling like you’re drowning in all the tasks, things, and stressors!

I don’t have to tell you how hard 2020 has been, and the #Holidays2020 could be even more interesting and stressful, but it really doesn’t have to be. As long as you have a plan and willingness to stick to that plan, you can make it through and even see continued success in your business.

Start with these simple questions:

What HAS to be done?
What can wait?
What do you LOVE doing?
What do you HATE doing?
What can you take off your plate?
What can you say no to?
What can you outsource to someone else during this time?

If you take the time to sit down and answer these questions, you will be so surprised at how much you can eliminate and focus on the things you love and made your business a success in the first place!

If you’re still having trouble figuring out where to start, don’t be afraid to go back and reference some of my recent episodes on “Eliminate to Accelerate” and my “R.E.S.E.T. Method”. They are both full of great tips!

Let me be blunt. You…..NOT implementing systems into your business…..is probably killing your business. It’s as simple as that. Okay, that’s the bad news. The good news is, implementing systems work into your business doesn’t have to be as overwhelming or time consuming as you might think! Today’s episode is here to help!

In this episode, we are going to be talking about how skipping “systems work, creating workflows and creating efficiency” will eventually kill your business. I’ll also give you some tips and tricks (THAT I LITERALLY USE MYSELF) on how to assess your processes, break them down, build better processes, clean up your back end, and ultimately be better organized. Making six-figures doesn’t have to be the grind you might think it has to be. Let me help!

Among the tips that I cover it today’s episode:

Create a digital workspace that allows you to have access to all of your links, passwords, files, apps etc no matter what device you are on.
Stop checking your email all day everyday!
Create better lines of communication with your team - Stop having meetings and phone calls all the time.
Turn off your notifications.
Stop signing up for every software out there.
Have a weekly planning process.
3Ps of Productivity.
Plan your day the night before.
Check out the R.E.S.E.T. Method Episode
R- Recalibrate
E- Evaluate
S- Strategize
E- Eliminate
T- Take action and repeat

The bottom line is, set aside an hour a week to dedicate to documenting how you do things and you will be able to scale your business!

If you still just cannot get it into your routine or have no idea where to start- let’s hop on a call and chat~ I am now taking on 2 VIP Intensive Projects. Get one system/area of your business running like a well oiled machine in just 2 days with the Process for Profit Pro!!!

Feeling overwhelmed with everything going on in your business and wish you could just hit the reset button sometimes? Well, today’s episode might be just what you need…...literally!

Today we are going to be talking about my new R.E.S.E.T. Method that came out of necessity when I was feeling stuck. As an entrepreneur, it’s normal AND EXPECTED, to go through times when you just need to reflect and assess everything you do and figure out your long-term goals and how to reach them. The more often you take time to do this, the more in touch you’ll be with your business goals, making it more likely you’ll actually reach them!

You know I love a good acronym, so what does RESET stand for?

R - Recalibrate

E - Evaluate

S - Strategize

E - Eliminate

T - Take Action

Listen, assessment (personal and/or business) can be SCARY, but it doesn’t have to be! Listen to this episode and start with small ways to scale your business, set goals, MEASURE your goals, and you’ll be relieved to see how quickly you move from feeling like your back is against a wall to knocking down those walls!

Are you afraid of success? Listen to Episode 53 on why you shouldn’t be! Episode 53. Am I Scared Of Success?

Are you like me where you have 37,000 thoughts and ideas bouncing around your brain at all times and no solid focus? You want to run a successful business, but keep finding yourself lost in the forest because you’re so focused on one tree? Well, this episode is for you!

Today we are going to be talking about eliminating things from your business to be able to accelerate growth. Yes, less is more!

Less is more when it comes to products, services, projects, tasks, things on your calendar and…...just generally…...things you say yes to.

Less Stuff = More Space. Having less stuff creates more space. ...
Less Spending = More Money. ...
Less Clothes= More Closet Space. ...
Less Furniture= More Room. ...
Less Social Media = More Time to Read. ...
Less Driving = More Walking. ...
Less Stress = More Sleep. ...
Less Working Hard = More Working Smart.

Complexity causes confusion for your followers, your customers and your team members. If you simplify your life, you simplify your processes, which leads to a more efficient, successful business! Isn’t that what you’re really striving for?

Using my “ROAD to Scalability” method is a great first step in achieving this!

R- Recognize
O- Optimize
A- Automate
D- Document and Delegate

How do you map out your day? Do you take things as they come and hope for the best? Do you map out every second from the moment your feet hit the ground in the morning to the moment your head hits the pillow at night? Are you somewhere in between? The way you schedule your day and the routines you follow could be hurting your business.

Today I am going to talk about daily routines and how important they are to your business success and keeping away the chaos, because without routine you can be all over the place in your life and business.

Let’s be honest…..2020 has been a dumpster fire for all of us, but if we all begin and follow normal routines, we can be better prepared when our lives get turbulent.

Here are some quick ways routines can help us in our everyday lives:

Routines take away chaos
Routines let you be more productive
Routines and planning actually give you more flexibility
Routines and planning allow you to grow your business.
Routines allow you to be more creative
Routines allow you to have free headspace
Routines allow for less stress

Tell us all about your favorite routines, your routine tips, or to let us know how we’re doing by emailing us at hello@processforprofit.co or on our Instagram at @brittanyandco.consulting!

Today’s episode is for all you entrepreneurs trying to maneuver in the world of online business!

We are going to be talking about all things Systems and Operations, and helping us is Kristen Westcott of Kristen Westcott Media.

Kristen is a business growth and systems strategist and founder of Kristen Westcott Media who has spent the last decade in the legal and education fields supporting leaders and students in the areas of goal setting, productivity and project management. After recognizing her true passion lies in serving entrepreneurs, Kristen honed her skills as a Director of Operations. She quickly noticed that what was holding many business owners back wasn’t a lack of drive or ability, but a lack of foundational systems that could support the day-to-day operations of a scaling business. These days, she spends her time helping online coaches, copywriters and course creators scale without the frustration that massive growth often brings.

Today we talk about all the fabulous systems at your fingertips and how to best utilize them to fit your individual business. Kristen gives some great advice on how to manage your time, focus on one project at a time, and how to set a long-term vision for your business instead of spinning your wheels by constantly jumping on the latest trend.

Has your systems budget ballooned to $400 per month while simultaneously feeling like things are being held together by duct tape? You know it doesn’t have to be this way…….RIGHT?

Today we are going to be talking about how you can STOP using 8 softwares to sell your courses, memberships and products.

I have worked with clients time and time again and when we do a systems audit they name off all of these things: Leadpages, Thinkific, Teachable, Active Campaign, Convertkit, Acuity, Calengly, Typeform, Vimeo, Zendesk…..and on…..and on…..and on. Then they have to use Zapier to connect it all together!

I call this “The Duct Tape Approach”. You have all these monthly subscriptions that come out on different days. Some of your data in one place and some of your data in another. Your systems flow is over-complicated and it’s impossible to duplicate things or create anything new.

Have I thoroughly described you yet? It really doesn’t have to be this hard.

There is a software that puts all of that into one place, saves you tons of money on monthly subscriptions, and saves you time having to duct tape all of that together.

What is that? It’s KARTRA!! Go check it out now. Go to b.link/bco-kartra for a 14 day free trial.

You guys! I cannot say enough good things about Kartra. EVERYTHING is connected!

If you’re looking to build a multi-layered business with seamless integration and connectivity, you should consider Kartra!

Are you the type of person with 37 tabs open on one screen and 17 tabs open on the other? Go look, you probably have that many open RIGHT NOW!

Guess what! This doesn’t make you a master multi-tasker! It’s actually hurting your productivity and ultimately your business.

In today’s episode I am going to be talking about multi-tasking and how it is stopping you from making more impact and income in your business.

What is multi-tasking? Well, it’s when we perform two or more tasks simultaneously, and switching back and forth from one thing to another in rapid succession with…...SPOILER ALERT……..no real success because we’re focused on too many things at once! Listen, I’m guilty too!

In addition to multi-tasking, context switching is another hurdle we all deal with on a daily basis that can be detrimental to our lives, clients and businesses. Context switching is when we jump back and forth to different types of work (bookkeeping to client work to graphic design) without focusing solely on one thing. This much back-and-forth can impact our short-term memory, lead to increased anxiety, stifle our creative thinking, and ultimately stop us from getting into a “state of flow”.

With multi-tasking impacting productivity by nearly 40% and context switching by nearly 20%, you risk decreasing your daily productivity by close to 60%, what does that equate to for you and your business? Are you serving clients in the best way possible? Are you fulfilled personally and professionally?

What are some ways to minimize the consequences of multi-tasking and context switching?

Why should you hire a bookkeeper? We wait too long for before we contact a bookkeeper to help us manage our finances and cut through the chaos of finances.

Carrie Popperllars of Local Ledgers LLC joins me today on the Process for Profit Podcast. Carrie will share with me how having a handle on our finances will help us understand where the money is going. Are you paying for subscriptions that you aren't using? Using an audit, and having another set of eyes looking at your books to see where you may be losing money or where you could be making more money may be just the action item that could turn your business around!

Carrie will also share with me her favorite hacks, including her use of project management software.

We all know that that has been the theme of 2020? Being flexible and pivoting!

What happens when you create this grand master plan for your year, your quarter, your month, your week or your day, and then you have to make changes to it?

How do you keep up with those changes, and how do you make sure that you are making the right shift vs. creating distractions or losing momentum.

There is a quote that I love

“Pivoting isn’t a plan B - It’s part of the Process” -Jeff Goins

Pivoting and shifting MUST happen. If they aren’t happening, you are stagnant and not growing.

You have a grand plan for your day, then an appointment gets shifted, or you have to do something that wasn’t in the idea that takes longer than it was supposed to.

SHIFT happens - Daily.

But we want to make sure that when we are shifting that everything is still in alignment with the bigger picture strategy.

What is a project: an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned and designed to achieve a particular aim.

Examples of projects:

Home Improvement Project
Construction
Vacation
Event planning
Wedding
Course Launch
Podcast Launch
Business launch

Anything with lots of moving parts and tasks

So What is project management:

Project management is the way a person organizes and manages resources that are necessary to complete a project. People that manage projects are known as Project Managers. A project is a piece of work that is not a process or an operation. It has a start, an end, and goals

Why do we need project management and Project managers??

We need a tool and/or person to manage all the moving parts of our projects to help us stay on track, be more efficient, and follow through to completion.

There are tools for you to do this on your own like Asana/Trello

I have a business management course called talk Trello to me - all of the boards can be moved to Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, etc

Go to www.talktrellotome.com to view all of our business management organization templates.

So how can you manage projects better on your own

1 - Think Bigger Picture

Does this fit into your business model

Does this fit into long term plans

Do we need to do this now or put it on the backburner for later

We all take on TOO many projects at one time, and we are juggling too many balls.

2 - Planning makes perfect (or as close as possible)

Failing to plan is planning to fail.

You have to see how all the puzzle pieces fit together

You have to map out all parts of the project and create a plan before you just dive in.

Plans WILL shift. But making small changes and deadline updates will be easier than adding in entire tasks that were forgotten or missed.

Launch New Paid four-week Workshop

Conduct Market Research
Determine Workshop Goals
Create Workshop Plan and Timeline
Create Workshop Structure
Decide on Materials provided
Create Lesson Outlines
Create Workbook
Create Product/Payment Processing
Create a Welcome Email
Create a Landing Sales Page
Create Thank You Page
Create Bonuses
Create a Marketing Calendar
Create Marketing Content
Schedule Marketing Content

3 - Use a tool - but it won’t solve all of your problems with a magic wand

Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Monday.com, Basecamp, Airtable - just to name a few

You CANNOT keep everything in your head - Things WILL fall through the cracks

I know you think you can. But be honest with yourself - things are being forgotten and falling through the cracks

Every project - even the smallest one comes with many many subtasks, information and potentially other people helping

Example:

Batch Record Monthly Podcast Content

Write four outlines
Schedule 4 times on the calendar
Record 4 episodes
Add recordings to Google Drive
Notify Podcast Manager
Create 4 Emails

4 - Project and Task Management is ALWAYS a moving target

Just when you think things are in place and working well, something throws things off the plan.

Things come up; deadlines change, something was missed int he planning stage, something changed.

The job of a Project manager or project/task management tool is to help you see everything big picture to be able to shift your plans as needed.

New tasks, challenges, and situations will always come up. As a business owner, you are a project manager. Even if you have never thought of yourself as a project manager, you are managing your business, which is comprised on many projects.

Project management is messy—the more projects you take on, the more problems that will come up.

If you are still a solopreneur or very small business owner - you have to realize that you CANNOT take on 15 projects and effectively get them all done no matter how hard you try and think you can.

Always go back to the big picture plans. Does this project fit into your goals, and does it move your business or life forward?

I am a massive advocate for reverse engineering things.

What is the end goal - what projects & Tasks will get you there and have we planned out those projects and tasks

Today's guests are up and coming entrepreneurs. My twins, Kenna and Layla Dixon share how they are following in my footsteps building a business. We discuss how we created the pricing and marketing for their lemonade stand. We had a lot of fun on this project. They share how we got out the white board and created the plan. This is a great way to teach your kids the principle of creating a business. From the vision and idea to marketing and branding. The sooner we can give our children an opportunity to see how money is made, and how they can meet a need of a customer, the more independent and creative they will become.

Listen to this episode with your children and start the adventure!

Most marketing emails are … boring. Really, really, boring. And Daniel Throssell is on a mission to change that. He’s a sales copywriter who’s worked with many of the biggest brands in Australia. So far he’s made his clients more than $20 million in sales, and been called “the best marketer in Australia”. Today he still writes copy for his clients — but he also shows copywriters and business owners how to write fun emails that stand out from the competition, build stronger brands, and make more sales. Best of all? He has his own daily email list at persuasivepage.com which shows you how to be fun, entertaining and true to yourself while still selling to your customers and growing your business.

I will ask Daniel about how to flip email from being ‘just another to-do’ to something you ENJOY and that actually makes you sales! His three-step method that creates an email framework. The ‘dinner table strategy’ for conjuring up email ideas whenever you need them.

Most people are scared of failing. But I think I was scared of succeeding more than most. Let me tell you my story.

I didn't grow up in a fancy entrepreneur family. No one went to college, and no one had a job paying over $20 an hour

My parents combined made less than $50,000 a year with five kids. I moved out when I was 18 and lived on my own. I worked two jobs to pay for rent and bills while going to school. The last business I worked for I gave my blood sweat and tears toward their success, only to be fired.

I am very grateful for how I was raised, for my parents and my childhood. And I am very grateful for being fired. All of those things made me who I am today.

So after so many low beginnings, why am I scared to succeed? What am I scared of?

I know when I am in a place of growth when my confidence dips, I find myself doing admin projects and I avoid being around people and isolate myself.

2020 has been a time for that. I had a huge legal issue with a client that absolutely killed my confidence. It shouldn't have but I let someone else control how I felt about my work.

I was finally able to get back on my feet and get back to serving people and then COVID hit. So then I just blamed everything on that and fell back to the, well when this is over I will do big things. This is what I mean when I say "being scared of success".

Netflix time, working on the couch, working crazy hours on admin stuff - thats a time of growth that I am hiding from and running away from. When I see myself changing my goals to make them smaller - That's a sign I am scared of success.

Because I know myself and when I have a project plan towards something - I knock tasks out to get it done.

When I create that project plan and I have that vision, do I take on fifteen other tasks that keep me “busy” from that. Because I am being scared of success.

So once you have acknowledged that you are scared of success and know that you are hiding from big things. what do you do?

Write down worst case scenario that could happen if you success - this works for failure too.
- What are the bad things that may happen if you succeed
- What could happen if you succeed - People won’t like you,
- You get negative comments
- You lose friends
- You disconnect from family
- Your ego gets to big
Reflect on why you are feeling scared - does it connect to anything - what triggers it?
- Scared that if you make money - people will think of you differently
- That you may lose family or friends
- That you may be able to actually live your dream life
Take time to feel scared and do it anyway

Send me your thoughts and experiences, I may share them on the podcast!

We're diving back into Season Three of the Process for Profit Show!

We are so excited to be back to give you all the strategies, systems and support for running your business and not letting it run you!

I have some really amazing guests lined up this season that I cannot wait to share them with you so make sure you subscribe and get all the notes here and on my blog.

So today I want to dive into the topic of Productivity during overwhelming times.

So we all know that 2020 has been interesting to say the least.

Maybe you have continued business as usual or maybe things have come to a screeching halt for you. I am hoping at the time of this recording that some things are getting back to normal. However, how do we stay productive during overwhelming times?

I want to first start off by saying that even though I am the Systems & Productivity Queen (the name others have given me not myself) I have been struggling HARD CORE during these past 4-6 months.

In January I was dealing with a client issue that resulted in a huge legal/financial battle. In February I dealt with a lot of mindset issues around that legal issue thinking that I wasn't good enough to do this business. By March I was finally getting back to a place that I was ready to dive in and get back to business and then the Coronavirus hit and it all went downhill. April came and I was dealing with home school and being home with the kids 24/7 while running a business.

By the time May was here I was tapping out of homeschool and treading water keeping up with business, clients and the house. We finally got back on track in June and back to “somewhat normal”

But during all of that, I was still pretty productive and still made forward momentum towards goals. How did I do it?

Systems that were in place before things got crazy. This is why systems and processes are SO important during times of change.

Here are the different things that helped:

Asana - Personal and Business tasks and projects
Alexa - Grocery list and dinner ideas list
3 P's of Productivity - Go check out that episode - end of day routine
Digital Workspace setup
Inbox Detox - My Email management system

My guest today is Publicity for Good CEO and Founder Heather De Santis. She's best known for being a rising name in PR. What most people don’t know is that she does it all while on the road, from a 23-foot AirStream. She manages a 15 strong team from all over the world and oversees an impressive roster of clients all over the world. Her nomadic lifestyle and disruptive, results-focused, and client-centric approach to public relations has allowed her to break down geographic barriers, deliver real, personalized service to clients located all over the US, and grow her agency--all the while allowing her to travel and pursue her and her fiance’s dream of building a 100-acre homestead for their family.

She believes in using media to build your business and build your dream.

The 1st thing about communicating through media:

You need to know your mission. What is the vision for your company

Mistakes that people make:

Over publicizing your business
Failing to know what your audience wants to hear from you.
Not following up after you have a media release. If you don't get a response, keep trying!

Heather hires business coaches that help her create processes so her business can run without requiring her to put out daily fires with her employees.

Heather prefers focusing on the end result than the tasks. She also recommends that you focus on work with clients you enjoy working with.

My guest today are Jake and Ashley Ulkus who are online entrepreneurs, friends since high school, married for 13 years and parents to three very different, fun and challenging girls! Combined they have over 30+ years of marketing, branding, strategy and leadership experience... working for both national and international brands. Separately they have successfully coached and consulted for hundreds of entrepreneurs, start-ups and small to large organizations. Over the past 7 years, Jake & Ashely have launched multiple businesses, agencies and online courses... quickly turning profits from each and successfully selling one. The traditional route wasn't really for them...we discovered that they could use our knowledge and experience to successfully build OUR own dream vs. slaving away to build someone else's. So they got busy creating and never looked back. They found they were living by "We need the next client now!". They discovered working on a course route; they would have more flow and creates a consistent revenue stream and get off the finding the next client rollercoaster. They also realized they could build a list of clients. Developing a course is the fastest way to establish a business. Critical steps to launching your course: 1) Decide: Make a choice you want to do this 2) Get Help: Leveraging others to help you so you can get content online so you can get the course online. 3) Get A Plan: Make a list of what to do to make this course happen by a deadline.

Joining me this week is Carlee Marie. Carlee started her journey as a professional branding photographer; knowing the in’s and out’s of visual branding and the importance of it for businesses. But, after her immense frustration around social media “not working” for her visual brand as a photographer, she set out to find the “key” to leveraging and utilizing social media for business owners WITHOUT the pressure of having perfect imagery, oversharing their personal lives, or constantly posting selfies. Social media is much more than pretty photos and likes, it’s about building meaningful connections and attracting your DREAM clients by simply using an effective method. Carlee developed a system that helps other business owners create social media posts that land paying clients every week without the overwhelm around posting. This system lives within her mastermind group called the Social Money Cafe.

5 Ways to attract your DREAM clients on social media

1 - Know who you’re trying to attract in the first place

Identify your ideal client - describe them like they’re your BFF
System: Sticky note strategy on categories + topics

2- Be in the right places

Identify the best platforms to be on based on YOUR business, not being in #alltheplaces
System: Make a list of all the platforms you feel like you need to be on, do the research for each to see who's mostly on them etc. - Google is a very real and easy way to research - unless you haven’t systemized, outsourced, or streamlined all platforms - go all in on one. Then add

3- Post for them, not for you

Being selfless and SERVING your audience instead of always taking.
“Check in” - would your ideal client benefit, appreciate, or resonate from what you're posting - you are speaking to one person here.
Show up as a CREATOR, not a consumer
System: Ebb and flow (ebb is tide moving to land, flow is tide moving away) - create content when you’re inspired.

4- Be a real person - not a billboard/salesman

Have normal conversations in DMs and in comments - be likable, relatable, and trustable.
Show your journey, not the destination

5- Find a “Happy Medium”

Not being too hard core on "sales", or not too hard core trying to be an "influencer"
System: Put it on a scale Left wing Vs. Right wing type thinking

Craig Chavis is the owner of Cre8tive Craig and I met at a workshop that I taught back in 2019. We connected over coffee and found out we have a lot of the same ideals when it comes to business. We also both work with cre8tives. He has just released his new book, "Burdens of a Dream."

Craigs Action Nuggets of Wisdom For Cre8ive Growth:

1) Accept your emotions, so you accept and build on logic to solve the problems or create a new business.

2) Adjusting to demand, online, changing services during the time of the COVID crisis.

3)Don't accept NO for an answer. Find out if you can go under, around, or over the problem.

Craig's Insight On His Process For Profit

1) Craig had to identify the bottlenecks

2) He wanted to identify processes to make systems run smoother so he could focus on the future.

3) You don't have to suffer and hustle as an entrepreneur, so he found ways to generate profits without him being on site.

Craig says, "Trust but verify" with information that is brought to you by people. He also tells me that you need to "Take Action." Take risks and move forward.

Find Craig Chavis online at cre8ivecraig.com

You can get Craig's book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Burdens-Dream-Actionable-Creative-Entrepreneur/dp/1647460212 .

Burdens of a Dream: 33 Actionable Nuggets of Wisdom for the Creative Entrepreneur

When things aren't quite feeling right, you may need to pivot to a new business or idea.

In the early 2000's, Jana Uselton built a local Home Staging business in Dallas, TX. She left Corporate America with the knowledge of business building and strategic marketing ideas and quickly built a business that grew beyond her abilities. Her team of 15 is considered one of the largest Staging companies that have helped almost 6,000 homes prepare for market. Out of the blood, sweat, and tears, she grew a heart to teach others and help them reach success. The Home Staging and ReDesign Association is now a platform that serves thousands of Stagers and ReDesigners annually by providing the best practices, tools, education, and systems to grow their businesses exponentially.

Jana says first, ask these questions:

"What's your passion?"

"What's your customer's need?"

You can pivot too much. Employees can get frustrated when one plan hasn't been rolled out yet, and you're adding a new pivot already. Give it several months to let your team get the first plan in place. Also, have a team that you can trust and trusts you.

Jana Uselton's Process Tips:

1) It begins with your routine and mindset.

What you listen to and your process.

2) Jana likes building in phases,

a) It's just you.

b) Your training other for leadership.

c) You're not running things; you're overseeing them.

3) Get focused in the morning

Today I want help you with some tips on how do we create adaptable and flexible/productive schedules at home? How do we create schedules that are flexible enough to adapt but still allow us to make money?

Setup your new home workspace. Create a designated area in your home to become the workspace. Best if you have an office, but if not set aside one area. If you can't set aside one area, you need to have a mobile office and minimize your workspace - it will improve your mood 2. Take a step back from the business (or job) and really take some time to think big picture. Are the tasks you are doing right now, really moving you forward. Really be intentional. Intention will create focus and focus creates success. Take 30-60 minutes and really dive into your goals for the month. Decide on the projects to get you to those goals. Then make a list of tasks that go into each of those projects and map out the time needed for each project. Start blocking out time in your calendar. Then all you need to do is repeat for each project. 3. It's time for routine and schedules (as much as we can). The fastest way to overwhelm, stress, anxiety and feeling defeated (and depressed) is to get out of routine and schedule. Now is the time to Still get dressed and ready in the morning and keep the kids on a regular routine. To still do meals the same way (or the new normal way). Then block out the following on your calendar: An Admin Day, Lunch Time, Client Work Time. Use the BCO buckets - Business Development, Clients and Operations to batch your time. Check out my episode about the 3Ps of Productivity for more on the life and business saving routine Give yourself grace We are all in a weird time in the world - we have never seen this Times of uncertainty will breed lots of things. but we get to choose if we want to let it dictate our lives or if we are going to accept it and adapt. I had my week or so of letting it dictate my life, wallowing in it, feeling sorry for us and all the depressed feelings and more Then I decided that it was time to shift, and think of all the good things that will come out of it (yes there are some) So create a dedicated workspace, clear the distractions, be intentional with your time when deciding on projects, create routines and schedules (Adapted if needed) and give yourself grace!!!!!

Guest: Danielle Nava Mijares, Nava Consulting

Danielle is a certified body language specialist
She helps create tools and tactics to help reading body language
She also coaches entrepreneurs to help transition their job to become a virtual business.

Danielle says meeting in person helps build trust, and trust is harder to build over the phone or in a video conference.

Four Tips To Improve Your Virtual Meetings

When on a video call, push back the camera, let the client see you this helps with the connection factor and make eye contact with the camera, not the person's window on your screen. Eye contact is critical even more on virtual calls.
Wear something you feel confident while working.Check your emotionality on your face and your tone of voice.
Be mindful of the time you are taking calls; make sure to have some downtime in between each call. Energy is contagious.
When taking phone calls or video conferences make sure you breath and take time, space out your words. Remember comfort translates to confidence. The tone of your voice is very important, talking fast and vocal fry can cause anxiety within the client.

When meeting in person

Try and stand 1-2 feet apart, this is a prime area for a conversation. Tone and facial emotion often have more of an effect than words do!

Rose Lounsbury is on a journey of decluttering and minimalism from Dayton, Ohio.

Rose says entrepreneurs are high achievers, but they often need to learn to let go and let go of the guilt.

This the same as decluttering in real life.

Reducing paper in your life tips:

Create one inbox; it's your "intake" it is just a temporary collection point to process.

Have a one day of week where you R.A.F.T. the inbox to stop the drowning in paper.

Read Action File & Trash

Readable piles are magazines, articles, etc.

Action piles maybe bills, invitations, or something that needs a response, or delegate it to someone who needs to deal with it. You can also transfer this to a digital To-Do list.

File piles are for things you need to keep, but first, ask this:

1) Is this relevant?

2) Is this a recent issue?

3) Can I find this information elsewhere (online)?

Trash piles, this may take time. But work through it!

Deal with memorabilia separately, make a separate pile at a different time.

Also, see Process for Profit - Ep. 34 Digital Detox for more ideas!

Rose Lounsbury is a keynote speaker, coach, and Amazon bestselling author who helps busy professionals reduce stress and improve work/life balance through simplicity. After blogging about her journey toward a simpler lifestyle, Rose was inspired to leave her classroom teaching job and help others create more straightforward and more meaningful lives by owning--and doing--less. Rose spends her days speaking, writing, coaching her clients and online students to stuff-free freedom, and soaking up the moments with her husband and wild triplets in lovely Dayton, Ohio. If you want to know how many towels she owns, you can watch her 2018 TEDx Talk, which has over 400,000 views. Rose’s advice was featured on USAToday.com, and she’s been a guest on Good Day Columbus, WYSO, WVXU, Good Morning Cincinnati, and Living Dayton. You can find her online at RoseLounsbury.com.

There is always a lesson to learn from lost clients.

These are often reasons clients move on to someone else:

Gut feeling - something might not work or fit
- What are those signs? Did you ignore them?
- Be honest with yourself
Misunderstandings - expectations, lack of understanding on what they should do v. you
- Call/email schedule (strong communication)
- Be the leader and put your foot down regarding decisions
- Set boundaries around every situation, be clear and upfront
Try and end everything amicably - dig deep to find out what didn't work
- Take the criticism positively, this helps prevent future client loss
- Put those guidelines in place

Today's guest is Christy Lingo, host of the "The Cocktails & Containers" podcast. Christy started her business, where she organizes her clients' homes to remove the clutter. She is now starting a coaching business to help Mom's focus on being entrepreneurs while still being a Mom.

Controlling the Control Freak: Christy is trying to let go of her "control freak" and bringing on processes so she can grow her new business. Having these processes will help you hand off these items to a Virtual Assistant (VA). Christy is bringing systems like Loom (desktop video recording app), so you can communicate quickly and efficiently .

Scheduling Text Messages: Christy is scheduling text messages through an app, so she doesn't have to risk forgetting when you have those 2 am thoughts, she can type the text, but it will send the message during business hours. (This is an Android feature)

Top Lesson Shes Learned: You don't know it all. Get a business coach. Christy worked hard and taught herself everything. But she found that having a coach to look objectively at what she was doing was a huge benefit and lesson she learned. Get someone better than you to help you do more!

Let it go! The struggle when to stop tweaking and tweaking notes and emails. Stop and post it. It doesn't have to be 100%. 80% is ok in most cases.

Bonus tip for parents from Christy: Wake up a little earlier. It will change your life!

Christy is a great coach and podcast host. If you want to find out more about how she could help you, look for her at "Cocktails & Containers Podcast" available on all podcast platforms. You can all find her website http://businesssavymama.com

The first thing is to look at things differently and identify what’s your bottleneck, what’s holding you back? It doesn’t matter the size of your company; these same things can hold anyone back.

Common bottleneck locations:
1. Don’t have enough processes (usually smaller businesses)
2. Confusing processes, unclear or not detailed enough (for customers)
3. Poor communications, managing tasks (team and/or yourself)
4. Too much work, too few people
5. Lack of strategy or plan, what now?
6. Lack of focus, need a plan to achieve

Processes make training easier. If there are no processes in place, it can block creativity. If you don’t have a plan, you can’t expect anyone else to have one either.

Areas to focus on to end the bottleneck:
B: Business development and growth
C: Client services
O: Operations & management

Write three main goals using BCO for a year overview, this will help you realize where your bottlenecks are in your company and stop getting in your own way.

As an entrepreneur, you are constantly being targeted for new software and tools that you MUST have in your business. Sometimes it’s really hard to say no or even decide what’s best for your biz! I am all about streamlining, but I also believe that less is almost always more. So for this episode, I have compiled a simple list of 5 must-have tools to not only run your business but also prepare to scale!

GSuite-(Or any document storage and digital creation and collaboration tool)
Project/Task Management Tool (Asana, Trello)
CRM (Pipedrive, Kartra)
Accounting software (Quickbooks Online, Wave, Zero)
Social Media Apps (FB, IG, LinkedIn, Twitter)

As an entrepreneur, did you know that you are the primary gatekeeper to your own business? You are the one who gives the yes or no to everything you invest your time, energy, or money in. But I am here to remind you that you need to stop letting in all the things that don’t serve your goals. In 2019, I learned this lesson the hard way. There were so many things I was doing because someone said I was “supposed” to be doing them. Yet when I evaluated the ROI on many of those things, I realized it was time to eliminate a lot and make some changes.

Being a better gatekeeper means you are consistently reflecting on these types of questions:

Does this thing (relationship, software, training, conference, etc) fit into my vision, my mission or my why?
Does this fit into my one-year goal?
Does this fit into my 90-day goals?

If you can answer yes to any of these, you can say yes to that investment. If not, you can say no with confidence too! Are you ready to take focused action this year in your business? Focused action moves the needle forward!

If you’re as pumped as I am for the start of 2020, I bet you’ve set some pretty big audacious goals for your business. You also know that you’ve got to be working towards those goals every single day, but how do you achieve these goals without an action plan? Simple answer: you don’t. So let’s nip this one in the bud and get a plan in place, shall we?

Today I will be helping you understand exactly how I set out to achieve my big goals by walking you through my own Planning for Profit Process for the year. This will help you see how I am able to work backward to determine my strategic daily tasks.

Knowing your why is a critical first step of establishing your goals and I will share the biggest motivators behind why I love the freedom and flexibility of being an entrepreneur.

And for those of you who really struggle to commit to a plan for the year, I want to challenge you to consider that this kind of planning actually offers you more flexibility because you know exactly what you can commit to. Bottom line: systems save you time, allow you to work less, and generate more profit.

Would you believe me if I told you that there was something so fulfilling about being able to sync up the release of my 30th episode and my 30th birthday?

I am a planner, so it may come as no surprise but I am so excited to celebrate with you, my amazing listeners today! I am wrapping up this season by getting vulnerable with you and talking all about how I’ve been navigating a season plagued by some fear and insecurity in my business.

It’s when comparisonistis hits, I’m overthinking things, and I start making fear-based decisions. It’s been tough, but I am now on the upswing and would like to share my reflections with you. If you’re in business (and a human), you will likely find yourself in this place at some point in the coming year. But if you can anticipate it and have some tools in your toolbelt, you just might be able to bounce back faster!

Starting a business can be exhilarating and fun, but it’s also really hard. So why do we have the tendency to overcomplicate the process and make it even harder? Perhaps you’ve read an article or even watched a documentary about minimalism as it applies to a lifestyle. It’s a pretty transformative concept. Though I am not here to convince you that you need to live in a tiny house, I do want you to understand that when it comes to business, less is almost always more. When you are moving in fewer directions and utilizing minimal systems and processes, you are able to do things more intentionally and with excellence!

When you can adopt a minimalistic mindset in your business, so much becomes possible. You are able to streamline your offers, services, and products. It also allows you to look at the big picture like your why and your business goals more often to make aligned decisions. Simplifying your systems allows you to identify what’s working and eliminate what’s not because you will be less distracted and overwhelmed by the demands in your business.

You may not even be aware of how cluttered digital files are stealing your productivity, but implementing my system for organizing your files will be a breath of fresh air!

Today’s Power Up is devoted to giving you some tips for how to prepare for your work week and ensure you consistently feel accomplished at the end of every week. I’m sharing my personal planning routine with you to give you some actionable steps you can incorporate into your own routine.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Failing to plan is planning to fail! Here are the steps I go through each week to ensure a productive week:

I open my Google Calendar and Asana.
I schedule in all of my tasks and appointments, adding in buffer and drive time.
Then I add in any tasks needed for those appointments and put them in Asana (ie: review notes before a call).
I create a digital notebook in GoodNotes for each of my appointments.
Next, I move all tasks into “this week” inside of Asana, ordering them chronologically.
I rearrange events as needed based on timing and availability.
Lastly, I double check that the entire week is planned out, and allow myself the capacity to deal with daily changes. (Check out the 3 Ps of Productivity in Episode 4)

Surely you’ve heard of Marie Kondo by now. If you don’t know who she is, you need to Google her today or find her on Netflix. She is known for her book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I actually like to call myself the Marie Kondo of business. Marie challenges her clients by asking them if a space or item “sparks joy”. If it doesn’t, she says you have to toss it! Likewise, in your business, everything you use should have a purpose and place.

Today I am sharing 4 tips to make sure your work space also stays tidy and “sparks joy”.

Declutter your stuff! Go digital and get rid of papers. Only items that you use daily should stay on the desk.
Add items to your workspace that make you happy. (Examples: your incorporation of color, decor, maybe a mug or a backdrop of your favorite destination)
Clean your space weekly. Schedule time to do this! Wipe down your desktop, keyboard, and screen.
Make your workspace mobile. Give yourself the flexibility of working anywhere in your house and still stay organized. Grab a 3-tiered mobile workspace like this one!

In this episode, I’m getting super honest and vulnerable with you as I share the inside scoop on some huge changes I’ve made in my business recently. Though these shifts were intentional and ultimately beneficial, it was a bumpy road getting there. All these changes taught me a lot-including how not to implement changes, which is why I want to share these lessons with you. I’d like to guide you through some important pieces of the decision-making process so you can avoid jumping from software to software in search of the magic bullet. Spoiler alert: there is none! But I can help you understand why!

I will walk you through the process of transitioning each of the biggest tools I use in my business and most importantly why I knew that it was time to make the shift. It was difficult to make these changes, but it was becoming clear that I had outgrown the functionality of certain tools while others were actually too complex for the needs of my business. My biggest piece of advice when considering what changes to make in your business is to not to go it alone. Ask for input and consider hiring an expert to avoid getting stuck and overwhelmed with a tool you don’t need or isn’t generating profit for you.

Entrepreneurs are always trying to work smarter, not harder, which means it’s only natural to want to find any possible way to automate. But I’m here to tell you, automation is only effective when you have clear processes that have been mapped out and streamlined. Otherwise, things get really messy really fast. If you know what I'm talking about, I hope this is a good reminder to make time to document everything so that the automation truly does save you time!

If you were honest, how long does it take you to onboard a client once they’ve decided to start working with you? Or better yet, do you even have a detailed onboarding process? If the process isn’t defined, or it’s taking you closer to two hours to dive into the client work, today’s episode is for you. There are so many systems and tools available for you to implement every time you bring on a new client that can streamline the process. Improving this experience will give your clients full confidence that you are anticipating all of their needs which leads to great testimonials and even more clients!

I also share a recent amazing experience I had as a customer and how powerful it is to think like the customer as you establish your onboarding process. You want to document everything you do and be as detailed as possible, automating any piece you can. You will also need to have a new process in place for each of the services you offer.

Here are the steps to my onboarding process:

Initial phone call/discovery call(s)-might be multiple, go add notes to CRM, what services they were interested in, what they needed help with
Legal Documents: Use Pandadocs to complete the proposal, contract, and collect payment in one step
Move client to “Contract Sent”, set up auto follow-up tasks, wait for acceptance
Collect Payment Electronically with Pandadoc (Connected with Stripe)
Move client to “Won”: Create a new GoogleDrive folder, GoodNotes notebook on iPad
Send a welcome email/collect information: (branding assets, results from questionnaires documents)
Schedule an onboarding call with calendar reminders
Get to work!

Just like email, content creation is one of those very necessary, but never ending tasks in business. Today I want to show you how to take one piece of content and watch it multiply before your eyes by following this super simple formula.

I’ve been so excited to share another secret weapon on my team with you: marketing strategist and owner of MK Digital Co., Mallory Majcher. Mallory has been the peanut butter to my jelly as I have helped her implement systems so she can continue to grow her agency and move easily into her CEO role. Likewise, she has brought the vision for my brand to life more than once rebranding.

One of Mallory’s biggest hurdles in her business has been learning how to move out of being a freelancer and into being a CEO. On the show today, we dive a little deeper into that journey and what has been critical for her success and flexibility. Though we have done a lot of work in this area to get systems in place so she can add to her team, we talk through a couple more suggestions and action items that could be helpful.

Today’s Productivity Power Up is a simple one to implement but has the potential to save you a ton of time and energy! The challenge for you today is set up all your bookmarks, apps, and extensions in your preferred browser (Chrome, Safari, etc). By making sure all these tools are saved in your browser, you are able to work from anywhere regardless of the device that you have...or don’t have! No more wasted opportunities to get something done just because you’re not at your desk at home!

When you are selecting which of these to add, make sure you are including only those things that you are utilizing on a daily basis. You can save anything else in a place like Trello to check out later when you have time.

Have you ever heard the quote from Ben Franklin, “For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.” ? When it comes to business, this really couldn’t ring more true. There are lots of things we do every day that may only take one minute to accomplish (like finding a digital file or answering an email). But if you could reduce the time you spend doing any of these tasks by 50% because you had a system in place, the extra time can truly add up! If you could invest that saved time in networking or more sales calls, you would see a huge return on that time spent getting organized!

Today I want to share with you a few areas of your business that you can streamline and then reallocate time for revenue-producing activities.

Lead Generation: Having automated systems to collect information from all the sources of all your leads and having a detailed follow up system in place

Sales Process: Importing contacts, having a system for follow up, creating tasks to check-in

Client Onboarding Process: Having automated systems for how you collect important info, use templates, administer questionnaires, set up calls, choosing all-in-one software for exchanging legal documents

Digital Files: Organizing them so they can be found in about 30 seconds

Email: Filtering out things that don’t matter, turning off notifications, decluttering, having a folder system in place

I encourage you to stop looking for the next new “magic bullet” to solve all your business headaches and simply take the time to address the time you spend in the areas I mentioned today. By doing so, you will give yourself more time to do all the things in your business that allow you to make the biggest impact and revenue! If you need support with this process, I would love to schedule a 30 min VIP Intensive with so I can help you spot all the ways you can maximize your time and energy in your business.

You may have heard the acronym before: KPI, but do you know what it stands for or why they are important? KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator and these are important because they are a great tool to track how you’re doing in business and what you’re actually accomplishing over time. These goals are also always super specific to the purpose of your business. By sitting down to identify your KPIs and finding ways to measure them, you will be motivated to be more intentional with your time and decision-making, rather than just busy. I’ll share some of the KPIs I track in my business in hopes of motivating you to make a point to identify yours today if you haven’t already.

The stats on the average amount of emails flooding your inbox are staggering: an average of 126 per day! If you neglect that inbox for even a moment, it’s extremely easy to see how your inbox can get up to the thousands or even hundreds of thousands without good systems in place. But even more importantly, an overflowing inbox can be a huge waste of your time and productivity. So today I am going to share with you my strategies for minimizing your time in your inbox, allowing you to spend more time making a bigger impact in your business.

My 5 Tips Include:

Delete: Set a timer for 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks and delete as much as you can. Schedule time on your calendar as needed to continue this process.
Discourage: Start unsubscribing from anything that is no longer useful to you. Use a tool like Unroll.me or SaneBox to get all the subscriptions you don’t need to see into a “junk” folder in your email.
Delegate: Can you get it off your plate and give it to someone else? Then do it!
Deadline: Move to your tasks into a project manager so that you don’t get derailed by hanging out in your inbox. Make work time productive!
Document: Create a few folders and a simple system. Use a service like Airmail to pull in all your accounts to one space. File...or delete everything!

These are just lessons that you never want to learn the hard way!

You might be listening today just because this episode is titled “Leads Don’t Matter” when you’re really thinking “of course they do!”. You’re right, leads DO matter, but only if you have a follow up system in place to nurture those leads all the way to that official client status. If you don’t have these systems in place, you are leaving money on the table. Friends, you don’t need more leads. You just need detailed, documented systems in place!

You could be little ahead of the game because you are using a CRM (Customer Relationship Manager or, as I like to call it a way to Connect, Reach out, and Monetize, but a CRM is not even beneficial if you don’t have systems and work flows built into it! In this episode, I am breaking down every step of my lead follow-up system as well as my system for on-boarding new clients.

You would never set out to find a new specific destination without a map or your GPS, right? The same goes for understanding that you can’t really know how to plan out your day until you plan out your year. In order to maximize the time you spend in your business daily, you need to start by listing out your goals for the year down to the finest details.

Once you have done that, you can reverse engineer the process by identifying all the tasks and action items that will lead you to that goal. Then you can assign due dates to those items so that you are making consistent and specific progress each day when you sit down to work.
