Work Less, Make More...Really
I have been kicking back a bit this summer. Working less, working
remotely, and now I am about to head off on a really amazing
vacation to visit some of our National Parks in an RV. I am
blessed beyond words. But, frankly, I've engineered this life and
so can you!
Despite the fact that I am working less, I am producing more
revenue. How does that sound?Work less, earn
more! We are committed to helping you succeed by
providing business support, advanced education as well as office
& meeting space… and by providing a few lessons I've learned
along the way:
-
Passion isn't enough. There I said it (again).
Passion is not a business model, it's what sustains you through
the high highs and low lows of entrepreneurship. Data, trends,
and strategy need to be in place to monetize your passion.
-
Hire up. You cannot do this alone. No how, no
way. I have built a team that ROCKS. But, I kissed a LOT of
frogs in the process thinking I could "save some money," make
"it" work and so on. Hire or outsource to people who can tell
YOU how to do it - trust me, it is the most cost effective path
to having a business that runs without you.
-
Delegate. Did I mention you cannot do this
alone? Focus on what drives your business forward. Empower
others.
-
Know your 20%. The 80/20 rule tells us that
20% of what we do will drive 80% of our results. Figure out
what behaviors (and you can only do 4 or 5 well) will drive
your best results. This is especially important when it comes
to new business development for solopreneurs. Are you
networking in the right places? Should you be "dialing for
dollars" instead? How are you nurturing your leads? Have you
clearly identified your niche markets? Are you measuring
results? Is your messaging clear?
Here's what I know for sure: If you identify the right
behaviors and do them consistently, you will be on the path to
working less and earning more. It's working for me, it can work
for you.
Stay tuned …
P.S. - In the spirit of "staying a student" which would
definitely be one of my lessons learned, read Tim Ferriss's
4-Hour
Workweek - part radical, part genius, and a catalyst for me
working less and making more.
