Running an online business doesn't mean everything has to depend on you.
The Mind Your Time podcast is for established online business owners, entrepreneurs and service-based…
I'm Shannon Baker, a Capacity Systems Strategist with more than 25 years of experience helping entrepreneurs improve how work gets done. I help women recognize where their online business depends on them more than it should, decide what actually needs their attention first, and make changes so everything doesn’t depend on them.
On the podcast we talk about what that looks like in real life:
- Clients who have too much access to you
- Team members who can do the work but still need you to tell them what happens next
- Processes that live in your head
- Decisions that keep coming back to you
- Work you've delegated but end up doing yourself
This podcast will help you answer questions like:
- How do I build an online business that runs without me?
- What actually needs my attention as an online business owner?
- Why does everything in my business still depend on me?
- When should I stop doing something myself and hand it off?
- Why isn't delegating saving me more time?
- What business systems do I need to save time?
- How do I set better boundaries with my clients?
- Why does my team still need me to answer every question?
- How do I keep my business running when I take time off?
The goal isn't to remove yourself from your business. It's to make sure everything doesn't require you. I believe your time is accessible, but not "Open Access."
So if you're ready for some time-saving tips and strategies so you have more time to lead your business, grab your coffee and join me for a conversation.
