014: Perfectionism Is The Enemy Of The Great

The emotional need to have everything just perfect before you take action is totally understandable. Our perfectionism wants to make sure we only share content, products, and services that show us in the best possible light.

The problem comes when this desire works way too hard and prevents us from doing anything at all, because nothing is never good enough.

In this week’s podcast I talk about how to overcome perfectionism so you can take action in a way that shows you at your best, while accepting that nothing will never be perfect!

013: Know The Purpose Of Every Task You Do

It is easy to have a clear understanding of the purpose of your business and why you are excited about the work you do.

But it is also important to know why you are doing each of the tasks you do daily, their value, and if they are the best way to spend your time.

This week I talk about how to get a handle on how you are spending your time and how to make sure you get the most out of the hours you work every day.

011: Create Real, Executable Plan

Business owners often confuse having a goal list with having an executable plan.

It is important that you have a clear vision of where you would like to end up, but a step-by-step plan to get from where you are to where you want to be is equally important.

In this week’s podcast we cover the final business fundamental.

010: If It Happens At Least Once A Year It Needs A System

Recently one of my clients asked me how I keep all my tasks straight in my head.

My response? “I don’t. The way I get tasks done is simply by doing what my to-do list says.”

Your business will become increasingly complicated as it grows and so does your task list. At a certain point you will no longer be able to keep it all straight in your head.

That’s where systems come in. If you create a system then you don’t have to remember, you just have to follow the steps to be successful.

Creating useful systems is a fundamental part of my business life.

Fundamental #10: If it happens at least once a year it needs a system.

This is how I create and manage my systems.
