How you can get more done in less time whilst running a business with Neill Williams
Today’s episode of the podcast is an interview with Neill Williams. Neill is a Master Certified Life and Productivity Coach who helps too busy high-achieving online entrepreneurs scale back their work weeks to 30 hours or less so they can do what they most want to do, most of the time. We talk all about how we can become more productive and organised, as well as staying accountable so you can work smarter and reach your goals working fewer hours. We also give you some of the mindset tools and practical tools you need to do this! KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST Time does not = money. You can earn a great amount of money working less hours – it is possible. You have to have the mindset in place first to take the action of systemising or delegating in your business. Don’t take your employee mindset into running your own business – you have to think about everything and hold yourself accountable. We are the CEO of our own businesses – everything is down to us. Let go of the cookie-cutter version of what you think a CEO looks like. To have self-integrity – you have to keep the promises you set yourself. Create an amazing relationship and don’t let yourself down by not doing what you planned to do. When you give yourself less time, you have to be more efficient! Cutting hours is a great way to increase your productivity because it limits you being distracted and procrastinating. Ask yourself – does it make the boat go faster? Is what you are doing pushing you towards your goal? Carve out time for being the ‘employee’ eg Fulfilling/delivering your product/service and being the ‘CEO’ eg Marketing/selling. Schedule thinking time – you are solving a problem for someone. Give your brain things to focus on during this time eg what is my goal for next year? What are my next 3 steps? You don’t have to do ALL the things – you need to have a focus and know where you are going. Scaling back the number of hours we have been conditioned to work gives us the freedom to be flexible and spontaneous. THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE… Don’t add complexity when it comes to making money – it only takes one amazing offer or thing done really well and one platform.
