“I haven’t had much time. And my past efforts haven’t produced results.”
Said a prospective client about why she hadn’t done any marketing, networking or other business development activities in (many) months.
I hear a form of this from virtually everyone who reaches out to work with me (whether it’s for business coaching, self-leadership coaching or the group mastermind). It might surprise you to find out that the problem has nothing to do with time or being busy or even WHAT is on their to-do list (they keep ignoring).
So, what IS the problem?
Their brain is going wild trying to plan around every contingency, overthinking how to get started. Which creates total overwhelm.
But the truth is that the formula for success is simple: Do what works. Drop what doesn’t. Be consistent.
What that really boils down to is taking action. Action brings clarity. And thinking about something isn't the same thing as taking action.
One of the BEST ways to help you take action without feeling overwhelmed is through systematizing.
Systematizing might not sound exciting. But systems and processes are the key to freeing up more time for the things you want. They make it easier to delegate AND increase productivity for all involved.
What's not exciting about that, Friend?
That's why I had to bring on today's Life & Law Podcast guest (talking about systematizing lights her up).
Join me and guest Allison Williams >>>here to find out why - and how - to systematize within your work and life.
