Special Guest: D'Ann Hayes with InkItUpDesigns

Value comes from my love of marketing

Help clients be successful & profitable so they can make memories with their families because all

we can take with us is our memories, knowledge, & learning

One thing I wish I had known when I started--have a pocket full of experts to delegate to

best resources--industry experts, BNI family, coaches

build trust with your experts so that you feel confident delegating to them

write down everything that needs to be done for the week, prioritize, delegate, & include goals & fun activities

Love my lists & crossing them off

Goals--write them down, strategy to achieve the, vision board to envision them

most influential--my hubby who says Yes, let's do it with a smile, my biggest supporter, my family, coaches, & business associates

How to network effectively

Darren Hardy

Doing a ton of reading. I made a list for people to use:

I’ve been working on scaling my business during the past few months. Delegating is essential to that. On two of my current projects, I’ve delegated all of the production work, and am only doing project management and creative direction.

We all only have 24 hours in a day, and can’t do everything ourselves. Delegating is a must for any entrepreneur who wants to succeed.

Covey’s quadrant method

Not everything gets done. I have to say no to some things. Or delegate them.

I’m very coachable, and have benefited from working with coaches as I’m growing my business. By working with somebody who helps hold me accountable, I’m much better at setting goals that will not just force me to grow, but also actually take the steps to achieve them.

Already worked from home. Lots of networking on Zoom.

Today, I want to focus on YOU and the fact that all of you can actually control your lives even though sometimes you may not think so.
Is there a part of your life or business that you feel is out of control or for which there is never enough time? Or that if you had, just a few more hours that everything would be great? If so, keep listening.

So the first step is to look at your life in detail, all 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week. How should we organize those days and hours carefully? You should be aware that you can increase your productivity and your efficiency by about 25 percent when you have a schedule for every day. By carefully doing so, you actually will have enough time to do most, if not all the things that you need to do. Therefore, the key is to plan and develop an extremely detailed schedule for every day.

One of my mentor coaches suggests that you pick one set time a week, say Friday before you close the office, to block 30 minutes to plan the coming week. Include all the things that you have to do for your job, your family, social and other things. Make it comprehensive, including absolutely everything, and the more detailed you are, the easier it is to follow. This allows you to begin the weekend with peace of mind, knowing exactly what the coming week looks like.

Those of you in industries where you at time have to put out fires, allow for oops time, a 1-2 hour window that’s open, nothing is scheduled for it. This way, if a true emergency arises – and it is up to you to decide if the incident needs your immediate attention – then you can stop what you’re doing and take care of this emergency. During the oops time, you can finish the task you were working on when this incident interrupted. However, make sure to keep these incidents to an absolute minimum.

Taking a lunch break, away from the computer and phone, could be a simple start. People who do this are much more productive in the afternoon than those who don’t. It will take discipline and commitment and you need to put it on your schedule, but eventually, it’ll become a habit.

Have date night monthly, ideally weekly, block it on your calendar, treat it with same importance as client appointment. You can always make more money but not more time.
