Read MoreIf you want to see growth, you have to realize that you can’t do everything on your own. You can’t be the visionary AND have your hand in the administration, marketing, and operations all at the same time. You can try every productivity trick in the book to get all these things done, but unless you magically become the expert in everything; all you’ll get is a never ending to do list, more overwhelm and eventually complete burnout.

Read MoreWho else is in full spring-cleaning mode? I’ve been decluttering my surroundings, my business model, AND also focusing on decluttering my mindset. When your mind is cluttered, it wastes your precious time and mental energy which prevents acting on priorities, making decisions, having focus, and being productive.

Read MoreThere’s something about process, systems and automation that make us think of pocket protectors, robotic behavior and time crushing effort. Personally I think pocket protectors are cool. ;) But the truth is automation is your bestie. It’s going to save you time, effort and money. And when you no longer have to worry about the day to day; you can turn your creative energy to something else; like innovation, strategy and leadership. How great does that sound?

Read MoreProductivity is my thing. I love all things process, systems, efficiencies. Time is a value of mine and what kept getting me those promotions in the corporate world. So, when I became an entrepreneur; I couldn’t figure out why the days were so short and I could barely make a dent in my to do list. What gives?
