Using your time wisely in your business can have a major impact on the development and growth of your business. You may have heard the adage that it’s important to know your numbers, meaning that you should know the accounting numbers – profit and loss, cash flow, etc. You can’t improve and grow your money management if you don’t know where you’re spending your money and it’s the same thing with your time.

It’s important to ensure that you’re spending your time on areas that will have an impact on your business’s bottom line, but how do you know if you’re spending your time effectively? One way to know where you’re spending your time is to conduct a time audit.

On this week’s episode of the Unbottleneck Your Business Podcast, I will share with you how to create a system for conducting a time audit to help you utilize your time effectively.        

• Why It’s Important to Conduct a Time Audit
• What you’re missing out on by letting your day control you       
• How being reactive versus proactive with your time is costing you        
• Benefits of conducting a time audit

Clutter can cause chaos in any situation. A cluttered office desk can have an impact on your productivity, and even a cluttered and messy closet or environment can affect your mood.

Oftentimes as a small business owner and entrepreneur, you can get so busy doing all of the things that you don’t stop to think about what it’s costing you. There are many things that need to be done to keep your business afloat, so the natural thing to do is to roll up your sleeves and get it done. However, operating in the “put your head down and work mode” doesn’t allow you the space and time that you need to keep an eye on the big picture/vision of your company, which in turn can derail your growth and revenue. Doing everything on your own is costing you, do you know how much?

Listen in as I share with you why handling everything is detrimental to you personally and your business and how you can get out of the DIY mode.

Today on the Unbottleneck Your Business Podcast:

• Why the DIY mode is detrimental to you

One of the questions that I get asked about working with a virtual assistant is, “What can she do for me?” The answer is that she can do a lot for you; however, she can’t do everything, no one can. The role of an assistant can be broad and consist of a lot of tasks, and as a result, it can be difficult to determine how an executive virtual assistant can help you.

In this episode, I will share with you how your executive virtual assistant can support you beyond her scope of work/skills.

Today on the Unbottleneck Your Business Podcast:

• Why it’s important for an executive virtual assistant to stay in their zone of genius
• Why you shouldn’t want an assistant who can do it all
• Ways that your executive virtual assistant support you outside of her abilities
