The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement

Welcome to episode number 300 of the Paul Minors Podcast!

For this milestone episode, I asked my good friend, Dylan Bland, to interview me (similar to what we did for the 100th episode). In the first half, Dylan unpacks my history, how I got started with my business and how I view productivity. In the second half, we discuss a range of topics including productivity, technology, AI and the future of work. 

Enjoy this episode and if you'd like me to record more long-form interviews like this, please let me know!

In his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, author Robert Kiyosaki describes three types of income: 1) Earned income (e.g. from your salary or business income) 2) Passive income (Income that doesn’t require active work to generate e.g. income from a rental property) 3) Portfolio income (e.g. capital gains from owning an asset that appreciates in value).

If you’ve earned an income from your business, you could reinvest it to grow your earned income further. But why not invest it in an asset that’s going to generate a passive income or capital gain?

In this episode of Minor Updates, I share some of the things I've been focussing on in my business and personal life.

Over the weekend I visited a local hardware store to enquire about purchasing a line trimmer. This is the second time I've been to the store in the last month or so and on both occasions, I left disappointed without making a purchase. I’ve talked to two salespeople now and neither one had enough product knowledge to make a clear recommendation that would solve my problem.

What I need is for someone to understand my needs, talk me through a few viable options and make a recommendation on which option to go with. I want to feel confident that I’m making the right decision before I spend $500.

This illustrates precisely why I sell my services in the way that I do.

I’ve shared previously on this blog that my primary motivation right now (as it has been for years) is to make my business more efficient. Since reading Dan Martell’s book, Buy Back Your Time (affiliate link), I’ve shifted my mindset to focus more on teaching my team as much as I can in order to improve our overall efficiency.

At the end of last year, I hired an administrative assistant to help process my email and to help with daily administrative tasks. My new assistant, Faith, has been working with me for just over a month now and she’s already helping to save me a tonne of valuable time.

In this episode, I’d like to share the process of how I hired her and some of the steps I took to onboard here. It’s still early days and there’s a lot I’d still like to train Faith on but I'm excited by the progress so far and can't wait to see where we're at 6 months from now.

Almost all of the Pipedrive and Asana clients we work with tell us the same thing - “We’re not getting as much as we can out of the tool”. A big part of getting more out of the tool is learning how to use the tool itself. But an often overlooked aspect is making sure you're inputting good data and keeping it up to date. This is the whole ‘Quality In = Quality Out’ argument.

Historically, I’ve closed out each year by sharing a summary of how I spent my time that year but this year I thought I’d do something different.

Keeping within the same theme, I’m going to reflect on major achievements this year and will share what I’m looking forward to in 2024.
