4 strategies to get everything done

Listen Later

Have you ever looked at someone—Cal Newport, say, or Richard Branson—and wondered how they manage to get so much done? They have the same amount of time you do, with the same family and life obligations. One has a busy teaching schedule, publishes prolifically, and produces a weekly podcast. The other seems to always be diving into a new business adventure.

And you? Maybe you struggle to publish a single, weekly blog post, or you’ve been working on that course for months, and it feels like it will never be finished.

How do these prolific creators get it all done? I’d like to know, too.

I may not be as productive as Cal Newport or oversee as many companies as Richard Branson, but as a solopreneur, I have plenty on my plate. You do, too.

Right now, I have:

  • A weekly podcast now in it’s fourth year of production
  • A new YouTube channel
  • A thriving membership to manage
  • New courses and workshops to create
  • Coaching clients to advise
  • Emails to write
  • Affiliates to partner with
  • Marketing campaigns to plan

    • How do I manage all of that without dropping all the balls from time to time? I’ll tell you in this week’s episode of the Tiny Course Empire podcast.
