3 game-changing business practices I've embraced in the past year
EPISODE 89
Notes
With the wind down to holidays underway, I wanted to share three game-changing practices that I have embraced in my life and business this year in the hopes that they inspire you to set yourself up for success in 2024.
Business owners are a powerful breed. We are constantly putting out fires, searching for solutions to problems, juggling business and personal life, and working on the business to make meaningful progress. I understand how it can all get overwhelming, and as simple as they may be, the three practices I’m sharing today have completely changed the game for me.
Have you ever faced a problem that seemed impossible to crack? I sure have. This is where the SOAK method has been a revelation for me. It's all about giving yourself time to let problems marinate in your subconscious, trusting that the solution will come in good time. In this episode I take you through this method and why it’s done wonders for me.
Another practice that I’ve implemented this year is creating time to think. It might just sound like common sense, but in today's fast-paced world, finding time to think can be a real challenge. I talk about scheduling dedicated thinking time to use for big-picture ideas, problem-solving, and tapping into your intuition. I also share how having a coach has been invaluable for me in gaining clarity and making significant progress in my business.
The final practice I share today has become somewhat of a superpower for me - prioritisation. It might not sound revolutionary, but when you do it well, you’re able to move beyond the daily grind of to-do lists and putting out fires to really push the needle forward. I share my strategy for prioritising tasks for myself and my team and how taking control of my priorities has allowed me to prevent my inbox from dictating my business and life.
If you're looking to level up your game in 2024, give these practices a try and I’d love to hear how they make a difference in your life and business. Catch you next time!
