Follow Conrad Ruiz of Well Aware on LinkedIn About The Messy Growth Show The Messy Growth Show on LinkedIn ❇️ Key topics and bullets Topic 1: Communication Management - Communication management is crucial in any work environment. - The protocol around communication should be established to make sure everyone can communicate effectively. Topic 2: Workflow Organization - A workflow should be created to organize different clients and their portals in different browser profiles. - This organization method helps to avoid feeling overwhelmed and things falling through the cracks. Topic 3: Types of Management - The podcast discusses five different types of management: time, relationships, actions, commitments, and knowledge. - Time management involves putting things on your calendar and organizing yourself accordingly. - Relationship management involves using CRMs and social media to stay in touch with people. - Action management involves using task management systems and documenting tasks along with SOPs and assigning time to them. - Commitment management involves tracking goals and objectives and updating systems accordingly. - Knowledge management involves organizing resources and information. Topic 4: Working on Tasks - Thinking of work as compartmentalization in a blank room with labeled boxes that represent different tasks. - It is important to leave the box and its contents organized before moving on to another task in a different box. Topic 5: Outsourcing - Before considering outsourcing, it's important to ensure you're performing critical functions for the sanity of your business. - A time audit can help recognize if you have time allotted for financial self-awareness and reporting. - The biggest issue with outsourcing is the amount of time it takes to train and work with someone else. - Before outsourcing, it's important to audit your time and understand what tasks you are currently doing. - Some marketplaces, such as Fiverr or virtual assistant services, can be used to find someone to outsource to. - The onboarding process involves welcoming the virtual assistant, giving them all necessary access and discussing payment structures. - Outsourcing becomes more difficult the higher your need for it is, especially if you are already busy sustaining the business on your own. - Outsourcing may lead to a drop in cash flow, but it can increase your time flow dramatically, leading to living in pure profit land. - To vet an applicant, the speaker recommends giving them a sample of the work they will be doing, even if it's a small portion, and paying them for it.
