Hello Welcome back! 

I've really appreciated all the feedback to date and I'm glad that our podcast is of value to you all!

This week, we've recapped where we've been so far and start to figure out what business structure works for you.

If you are happy making enough money for yourself and being super flexible with your hours, perhaps a Sole Trader is for you. But it does have its pit falls as your business isn't separated from you as a person. Meaning all your personal assets aren't protected from the business if things go wrong!

Perhaps you want to go into business with a friend or life partner. A partnership might be the way to go for you, but again, it's got it's down sides as well. If your partner isn't as good with money as you, their decisions are binding to you as well.

A company, although an investment up front is a longer term benefit as your personal assets are separated from your business. 

There's a saying - the poor man pays twice. And it's the same when it comes to setting up your business! Get the structure right up front, and you'll have an easier time of it in the longer term!

Last week we began creating our 5 year LIFESTYLE plan and looking at what kind of business we need to create in order to feed that lifestyle.

Yup, you heard me, let's put family first and look at how we create the lifestyle we love through our business (and not the other way around).

Last week we learned that most 5 year plans are business centric - meaning we only ever look at one side of the equation. Money. Business. The problem is we often forget about planning our own lives - holidays, significant birthdays... What this business gig is all for anyway - right?!?!?!

The thing is, to really move the needle towards achieving our goals and aspirations, we need to to make decisions today that your future self would be proud of.

Huh? Your future self?

When it comes to creating a 5 year business plan, I like to turn things upside down and start first with your PERSONAL LIFE.

Yup, you heard me, let's put family first and look at how we create the lifestyle we love through our business (and not the other way around).

Most 5 year plans are business centric - meaning we only ever look at one side of the equation. Money. Business. The problem is we often forget about planning our own lives - holidays, significant birthdays... What this business gig is all for anyway...

As Les Brown used to say - the only way out of this life is through death, SO! We may as well live life to the max on our terms. So, let's get that business of yours focused on creating that lifestyle you want. 

How?

In this episode, we create our Stop Doing List. 

This list comprises all of your tasks rated 1, 2 and 3 from last week's challenge of keeping a daily task list journal.

We then categorise the tasks into two piles:

a) those that physically need doing (i.e. by a human); and

b) those that maybe a computer can do (eg send automated text reminders of appointments).

Next week, we'll look at how to find the right human for the task.
