Do less to make more

by | Business, Leadership, Numerology, Success

 

Her goal was simple: work less and make more

 

Here’s how she did it.

She worked all day, every day, including many late nights and weekends, and yet wasn’t making the progress or the money she desired.

She came to me wanting to work less and make more.  I see this day after day, women working too much for too little.  I’m on a mission to change that and that’s why she came to me.

 

Collect the data

First up we looked at what she was doing, what was filling her days.

We collected the data without judgment.

What we found was eye-opening for her.

Eliminate what doesn’t contribute

When we looked at the data, we found tasks that were swallowing up her time that didn’t need done at all, that contributed nothing positive to her life or business, and certainly didn’t make her any money.

These she eliminated, she stopped doing them.

 

Decide what to delegate

We saw the tasks she was doing that she did not like doing, was not good at, or that she could pay someone a lot less than her to do.

She was, after all, CEO or her business yet was doing tasks that an office junior could have done.

These she delegated once she found the best person to pass them on to.

 

Systemize and automate

We noticed tasks she was doing repeatedly that could easily be systemized or automated.

While some of these took longer to implement the changes, some were simple including tasks such as batching social media posts and emails, setting up recurring appointments with regular clients, and a user-friendly calendar for clients to use.

 

Outsource

We found tasks that she could outsource such as cleaning that gave her even more time for family and fun.

 

 

Inevitably she found that doing less was much more efficient, that she had more time for adventure, family and fun while making a lot more money.

 

One step at a time

This didn’t happen in one huge change; it happened one step, one change at a time.

She tweaked and adjusted along the way so that they framework she ended up with suits her and she has the tools she needs to make changes as they become necessary moving forward.

Message me “CEO” if you need to stop doing $25-an-hour tasks.
