84: Quality Questions for a Better Business

The lessons we’re taught around productivity often center around being more committed or disciplined to our goals and business vision. However, I’m taking a different approach this week and showing you how being less committed or uncommitting could be the solution to your productivity issues.   Learn the power of uncommitting and when the practice of uncommitting might be called for in your business. I’m showing you how uncommitting can be helpful, the value of doing an audit of your current commitments, and how you’ll free up your time and mental bandwidth when you uncommit.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/83

82. Pep Talk: Control Enthusiasts

If you’re prone to overthinking, over-planning, over-perfecting, or over-tweaking aspects of your interior design business, this is a must-listen episode. You might be under the illusion that you’re ensuring the highest quality outcome by delaying taking action, but this is far from the truth. That’s why, this week, I’m flipping this common saying on its head and showing you how your business would benefit from putting in the reps, rather than waiting on perfection.   Learn how quantity creates quality and examples of where the concept can be applied in your interior design business. I’m showing you why overthinking creates an illusion of productive action, how increasing the number of actions you take is what will increase your skill, and what to expect once you begin practicing the belief that quantity creates quality.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/81
