If you ever wished your team would be on the same page as you, here are five steps to achieve that for you. Mark and Nick chat about the importance of clear communication with your team. Just like you wouldn't get in a car without knowing the destination, your team needs to understand the goals of your business as well as the journey to get there. This includes creating opportunities for feedback (suggestion boxes, open-door policies), addressing concerns, and giving feedback to close the loop. Finally, fostering collaboration is key - break down silos and brainstorm together with your team for the best results.

In this episode, Mark and Nick chat about time management strategies to help you reclaim control of your day. We'll explore Stephen Covey's time management matrix, often considered a complex system, and then unpack Dan Martell's concept of "highest and best use of your time" alongside the idea of "genius time." We'll navigate the four time zones: competence, incompetence, excellence, and genius, to understand where you're spending your energy. The episode will also cover techniques like time auditing, identifying energy-draining tasks, and tackling the unenjoyable ones.
