Latest / Online Business Tips: Mind Your Time / Coffee Chat Take 10: The Turning Point in Every Systems Reset
Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Over the past few episodes, we've been talking about what happens when your business begins to outgrow the structure that's supporting it.
- 0:10SPEAKER_00: We've talked about systems, onboarding, your calendar structure.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: And those were very specific because they're often the first places where pressure begins to show up, whether you're a coach, a service provider, or a consultant.
- 0:28SPEAKER_00: So if you've listened to the systems reset series, then you already know exactly what I'm talking about because you should be able to see where your business is depending on you more than it should right now.
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: And if you're hearing me for the first time today, I highly recommend that you go back and listen to that entire four-episode series because it will help you quickly understand why your business may be working on the outside, but requiring far too much from you behind the scenes.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: And whether you're new here or you've been listening for a while, which I truly appreciate, today I want to talk about timing and making seasonal decisions.
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: Because knowing what needs to change and actually doing something about it, those are two very different things.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: A lot of business owners stay in this in-between space for months, sometimes even longer.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: And I've been there myself.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: Your calendar is harder to manage than it needs to be.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: And you are very well aware that you're winging it when you book new clients because you don't have enough structure in place.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: And this is why right now, when this episode goes live, this coffee chat, is why it matters so much.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: Because summer is right around the corner.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: For many people, their schedules start to shift, the kids are home more.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: You want to take a vacation, your clients will take their vacation, so there's an energy shift.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: You may even want shorter days, more flexibility, and more time away from the office.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: But when your business still depends on you for everything, summer does not automatically feel easier.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: Time away is harder to enjoy when you're worried about what's falling through the cracks or what's waiting for you when you get back to the office.
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: And a day off doesn't feel like a real break when there are messages that are sitting in your inbox that still need your attention.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: Even your vacation can feel interrupted when everything is still running through you.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: And that is why now is such a valuable time to give this attention to how your business is operating.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: And it's not because you need to fix everything before summer gets here, and it's not because you need to do a big overhaul of your entire business, but it is because one intentional and insightful change made now can completely shift how the next few months feel for you.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: One better system for now and the way that work gets handled behind the scenes, that is a game changer.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: One clearer onboarding process that answers questions early in the process and sets expectations from the beginning, that will drastically improve your relationships with your clients.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: And one calendar structure that protects your time and reflects your actual capacity.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: Well, my friend, that will be relief.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: See, just one change can create breathing room faster than you can even imagine.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: And this is also where many people get stuck because they think the solution has to be complicated.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: They assume they need weeks of extra time, a perfect plan or the energy to burn everything down and rebuild it from scratch.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: But that is really true, and I do not recommend you do that.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: See, most businesses do not need more complexity, they just need clear support in the places that are creating the most friction.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: That is exactly why I created the Mind Your Time Society membership.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: It's designed for business owners like you who know they need more structure, but they do not want to figure it all out on their own.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: Inside, you get a clear 90-day roadmap that helps you focus on one priority at a time so that you can make real progress without getting overwhelmed in the meantime.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: You don't have to guess what to work on first either.
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: So you don't have to keep collecting ideas and hope that one day something clicks because that's not going to happen.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: But inside this membership, you get support, direction, and a way to move forward at a pace that works for your life in reality and honors your capacity.
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: So if you've already listened to the systems reset series and you kept thinking, this really sounds like me, this is your next step.
- 5:27SPEAKER_00: And if today is the first time that you're hearing this podcast, please go back and listen to that series first.
- 5:33SPEAKER_00: That's your starting point.
- 5:35SPEAKER_00: Then you can come and join us when you're ready to stop caring more than you need to on your own.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: Now, in the next full episode of the podcast, you're going to hear from Imani Guy, a business owner who experienced many of these same pressures.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: And she finally got to the point where she made the decision to make some changes.
- 5:54SPEAKER_00: You're going to hear what shifted when she started getting the right support in place behind the scenes in her business by maximizing the resources inside of the minor time membership, and she got support.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: Because when your business stops depending on you for everything, something important happens.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: You get space to think clearly, lead well, and enjoy the life your business is supposed to support.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: And that, my friend, is worth you giving attention to it right now.
