Making more time

Does this sound familiar… things are a bit all over the place, you’re being pulled in 15 different directions, you know you need some systems in place to conquer the chaos, but are too busy dealing with the problems that the systems would fix. You’re not alone, it’s easy to get stuck on the hamster wheel, but just like that stick you stuck in the front wheel on your little brothers bike to send him flying over the handlebars, you need to do something to put a stop to the cycle.

Every single person from Elon Musk, to a fresh born baby has the exact same asset… we all have 24 hours in the day, no one has more, no one has less. So when it comes to getting things done you just have to make the time. Saying “I don’t have time” is a weak excuse, you do have time, but you’re choosing to prioritize other things, which isn’t wrong or even your fault for that matter, but you have to understand that when you’re saying “yes” to things, you’re saying “no” to something else.

In this episode you’ll learn how to make time to work on your business so it isn’t working you over. If you’re constantly helping on projects and fixing mistakes, then you’re not working on the business and moving it forward. You should be working on processes that allow your team to handle projects start to finish, and systems that stop mistakes happening, that way you’re building a business that gives you more time. And we all know, time is money.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN FROM IMPLEMENTING TODAYS PODCAST:

  • More time to work on the business instead of constantly working in it
  • Better physical and mental health
  • More efficient and effective productivity from your team
