So many women in business spend their days and weeks wondering, “What should I be focussed on?” or finding themselves torn between life and business and clients and marketing and taking care of themselves and taking care of kids and, and, and… This is such an overwhelming way to live, and I would even argue that it’s not the way we are meant to live.

We are meant to LIVE our lives not simply MANAGE our lives. But it’s really hard to find time to actually live your life if you don’t have a system for managing the minutia of day-to-day life that will inevitably get in your way. So today, I want to share with you my 4P to-do list method. This is an extremely simple method I’ve been using and refining over the past 3+ years to organize my to-do list and my time around my priorities – each quarter, month, week, and day.

So much of running a business is showing up for mundane tasks that aren't exciting. Results don't come instantly they come with consistency. And it's easy to get work done when we're motivated to do it, but we can't always rely on that motivation to be there. We're going to have off days, low energy days, and distracted days. So how can we, as business owners who need to show up and get things done in order to grow our business, consistently show up for our business and get things done without falling into the pitfall of procrastination? And procrastination is something that we ALL struggle with on one form or another. And in order to overcome your unique procrastination habits, you first have to understand why you're procrastinating. In this episode, we're going to talk about the six reasons why we procrastinate, and how to overcome each unique form of procrastination.

Recently, I was reading a book about how to create a business that runs itself, and the author challenged his readers to create a business that would let them take a 12 week sabbatical. In my mind, a "12 week sabbatical" is basically man speak for "maternity leave"! As a service provider, it can be so hard to imagine being able to take 12 weeks off while returning to a business that isn't burning to the ground, but I want you to know that it's entirely possible with some planning and preparation. Whether you're dreaming of a 12 week maternity leave or simply being able to take time off without worrying about your business, I hope this episode gives you tangible tips and resources for building your business around your dream schedule.

I met today's guest about two years ago when I was speaking at a local women's entrepreneurship event. She was on a panel discussion at the event and I immediately knew that we had so much in common when it came to how we think about business, strategy, systems, and more! I'm so excited to finally bring her to the podcast today to talk about the profit-first system.

Val Duvick is a wedding photographer-turned business coach and certified Profit First Professional for female creatives with some hot takes and unconventional, but life-centered and life-giving business strategies. She speaks the creative language and is passionate about proving that even creative brains are capable of taking back control of their money and time! If you've heard of profit first but think "it's too complicated" or if numbers in general seem overwhelming to you, this episode will be a breath of fresh air. Val shares how the profit-first system simplifies her monthly financial decisions and has even allowed her to take two paid maternity leaves in two years. Tune into this episode to start paying yourself a regular paycheck this month (yes, it's possible)!
