The Seasonal Edit

If, when you stop working, you stop making money, then you are trading time for money. When you scale your business, you move away from trading time for money, and into creating VALUE for money. When your business is set up to scale, you can simultaneously deliver incredible value and an amazing experience to your clients even while you're unplugged, offline, or on vacation.

In this episode, I want to give you some tangible tips for how you can take real time off as a service provider. Many clients come to me because they are in a time famine. They literally cannot imagine what it would look like to take a week off, let alone the month of December, or a full maternity leave. While you're building your business and perfecting your craft, trading time for money is just a part of the journey, and there's nothing wrong with that! But if you are desiring the type of business that does allow you to take real time off, and extended time off, without sacrificing your earning potential, then this episode is for you.

If you're digging into goal-setting for your business, you've come to the right place! When it comes to setting financial goals, I see so many business owners setting random goals based on what they think they "should" be making. But ultimately, this is not a good practice for growing your business, because your financial goals are as unique as your business! Who's to say if getting to $5k months or $10k months is actually going to help you pay yourself more? Who's to say when you get there that you won't just be working 60 hours a week or create a business you hate? That's why I have each of my coaching clients get super clear on their financial goals. I coach my clients to create profit-first financial goals that are centered around paying themselves more while also working less. Press play to learn a simple 2-step process for doubling your profit next year without sacrificing more of your time and energy.

Before you dive into this episode, make sure you also grab my free masterclass, "Double your Profit While Working Less" which also includes the exact financial spreadsheet that I use with my coaching clients. In this masterclass, I'll show you step-by-step how to create and break down your financial goals so you can give yourself a raise while working shorter days and weeks.

Have you ever heard the lines, "sorry, it's company policy" or "I don't know, let me transfer you to my manager"? If I'm being honest, as a business owner, whenever I hear these lines, there's a part of me that gets really jealous. I mean wouldn't it be nice if we could all just forward tricky emails and requests to our "manager"? Or tell those over-demanding clients, "Sorry, there's nothing I can do about that, it's company policy."

As business owners, we get a lot of random requests and questions ranging from over-the-top exciting to excruciatingly uncomfortable. But I have some good news! You can create many different types of systems and automations in your business to eliminate a lot of those awkward situations virtually overnight! In this episode, I'm sharing three examples of systems that my coaching clients and I have used to avoid some really awkward situations.

As we enter another holiday season, you're probably anticipating taking a step back from your business and enjoying some intentional time with your friends and family. The holidays can be an extremely busy time for sales, promotions, and making big decisions and investments in your business before the new year. But if you're not careful, you might wake up on January 1st only to realize the holidays were a blur… and you never took the time you wanted to really step back and rest.

Slow living is trending, and it's for a good reason. In the world we live in, the default is busyness, consumerism, and distracted minds. If you want to flip the script and create a slow season where you're actually fully present with your kids and family, it's not going to happen by accident! In this episode, I'm sharing 6 tips that you can use to (actually) live out your vision of a slow holiday season this year!

At the end of your life, what will matter most to you? Most of us act like we'll live forever and have plenty of time to do and accomplish what we want to. But in reality, none of us know how much time we have left. We're not promised tomorrow, and when we live in that truth, our perspective of what's productive changes.

This is why I'm so excited to share this interview with my friend (and podcast editor!), Colton Carr. After building a successful wedding videography business, Colton and his wife Mallory received an unexpected diagnosis that changed everything. When life hits you with something like this, you can't help but reassess what really matters. There is so much laughter in this interview, but there are also some tears. My hope is that this episode will point you back to what matters in your own life, while challenging and encouraging you to reconsider how you define productivity. Press play to listen to one of the most impactful conversations on my podcast to date.

Have you ever tried to watch less TV? It's not easy to do! Unless you're one of those people who doesn't own a TV (which I'm seriously impressed by), it can be hard to strike the right balance between enjoying a good movie and distracting yourself from the things that matter most to you.

As part of my year of less challenge, I did a "No Streaming September" challenge where we put some hard limits on our TV time in the Boyd household. Before starting this challenge, I had fallen into some pretty bad TV habits that I wasn't proud of this year. For example, we fell into the habit of eating dinner in front of the TV every night, and I would frequently wake up on weekends and immediately watch TV while waking up.

In his book, the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, John Mark Comer cited that the average American watches 1,642 hours of television each day. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good movie and will never swear off TV forever, but I also know that I don't want to spend nearly 2,000 hours watching someone else's story unfold while I'm neglecting my own.

I was extremely surprised by what we discovered by going through this No Streaming September Challenge. It was impactful in so many ways and I'm really excited to share my tips, trials, and takeaways with you in this episode! If you're ready to set more intentional limits on TV time (without throwing it out the window) this episode will make getting started super simple for you. Press play to listen to the full episode!
