I know you really want to grow your business. But that is easier said than done because you have to have business systems. And if technology is not your friend you have probably avoided this necessary step. 

Now I know this may not be your strong suit, but it is mine. So today we’re going to talk about how you can improve your tech skills without taking another boring online course so you can grow your business without overwhelm.

Do you feel like your business is spinning out of control without systems? If you don’t even know where to start, it’s time to take a look at the big picture and get clear on how your business should support your lifestyle.

Today’s conversation with Jodi Silverman is the first guest episode of the year! And it’s different than the previous guest chats you’re used to. Jodi booked a back office assessment with me last summer (while I was on vacation). So during our chat we talk about what she needed help with, how the assessment reduced her anxiety, and the clarity she got in her business as we worked together implementing her action plan which helped her narrow her focus and led to the growth she was looking for without the overwhelm.

2:47 - Who Jodi Silverman is and what she does at Moms Who Dare®

5:26 - Insight into what was happening in Jodi’s business that motivated her to get help

7:44 - What Jodi expected the action plan to look like versus what she actually received

13:17 - How communicating through Voxer helped calm Jodi’s nerves and helped her stay focused on the right tasks

16:23 - How being organized helped Jodi see all of the moving pieces of her business and get clarity

19:20 - Hear how things are going now that Jodi ignored the shiny objects and is being more strategic in her business

Do you find it difficult to know which things you need to prioritize in your business?

With a seemingly never-ending list of things to do and countless opportunities and ideas to pursue, how do you prioritize what’s most important when everything seems important?

Today I’m going to share three questions you need to answer to help you set your goals and stay focused on them. The answers to these questions are the starting point and foundation of every action plan I’ve created after completing a back office assessment. 

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then be sure to make the time to answer them today! The answers are key to how you operate your business as a team of one. And If you start building a team and you’re not super clear on the answers, that’s a recipe for disaster.

So get ready to deep dive into the basics you need to prioritize tasks to reach your goals this year.

Tired of putting out fires in your business and dropping the ball?  

Busyness has become a badge of honor and my mission is to break the cycle of the “hustle mentality”  by busting three business growth myths. 

You don’t have to be busy all the time to be successful. If you’re always busy, you're not getting the best results from all of the energy you are expending.  And I’m pretty sure you aren’t getting the things done that will help your business grow which is making you feel overwhelmed and frustrated.

So today we’re going to talk about how you can be more intentional with your time and get the right things done that will help you achieve business growth without the overwhelm and frustration.

Are you ready to step into the new year with a clear vision and a plan for more success?

I believe before you can move forward, you have to look back at what you’ve accomplished or didn’t for that matter, so that you can plan to build on that momentum and achieve the success you desire. While the dates on the calendar change overnight, many things in your life don’t. So let’s talk about how you can create a reasonable plan that builds on the momentum you already have and use it to plan for more success in the new year.

With a little duct tape and elbow grease, anything is possible… 

Duct tape is a quick, short term fix until a more permanent fix, which requires more money, can be arranged later. So when you use this “quick fix” approach to running your business, you are setting yourself up for frustration and eventually failure. 

In today’s episode I share some simple changes you can make to remove the duct tape from your operations, create a strong business foundation and experience growth without being overwhelmed.
