In the last live call we had in our 10X Business Owners Mastermind Group we touched on a very important topic for everyone that I always like to highlight to my clients. The fact is that complexity can be our worst enemy.
On this occasion, we were accompanied by Michelle Calloway, owner of the company Tec with Heart, who was also my social partner. Also, like every Wednesday, the live call is in conjunction with my partner, Alan Reeves.
Many entrepreneurs see it as a business that invoices a certain amount per year, and suddenly, they begin to scale quickly, and they wonder. How do they do that? Well, we will give you the secret.
The list:
Column 1
First, you must list the tasks you do. If a company has employees, you want your employees to do this as well. So you should list all the tasks, such as sending emails here.
That is column number one on the spreadsheet. In the template I’m sending you as a spreadsheet, fill in the blanks on the spreadsheet with step-by-step instructions. But the first column will be the task.
Column 2
The second column refers to how much time you spend on this task per week. Calculate the time so if you think you may spend five hours a week on emails, you will only spend five hours.
Now, whether you should be doing more in your business as an owner is a completely different conversation.
Column 3
The next column is, Can I automate, delegate, or outsource this task? In this case, you only put a checkbox. Once this spreadsheet is filled out, you can call it up based on this time column.
For example, he’ll tell you there are 20 hours of things you do each week that you shouldn’t be doing and are not good at. And that’s where you can look at it.
When you reach this point on the list and see that those 20 hours are not functional, you should ask yourself, can I hire someone? Can I automate it? Can I delegate it? Can I outsource it? That will give you your roadmap for the rest of the time.
Are you looking to free yourself as a business owner and don’t know where to start?
This is a great roadmap. That will serve you well, knowing that for the rest of your entrepreneurial career, and if you teach this to your clients, they will love you. That is going to create a sense of adherence with your client.
Alan Reeves
My colleague Alan Reeves, in his participation, shared cybersecurity information. First, he explains that we are unaware that we join a network when we connect to any internet provider.
The Internet is a very murky place where there is everything, and people do not think about it. You can’t do that with your business. First, because the federal government requires certain businesses to have a filter, and second, no business should do without.
So, the conclusion is that every business owner must have a firewall to avoid attacks on their security or piracy.
Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or have a lot of computers, you need to ensure the technology is secure.
Michele Callaway
Our special guest shared her thoughts on business with us.
She tells us that if you want to stop surviving in a sea of digital noise, the idea is to start building your island of success. That is, build a raft on that island so bright that you will attract all that is destined for you and more and provide a safe place for others to follow and grow alongside you.
So, the most infallible tool for contacting your clients and achieving success is publishing content on social networks.
