Things can always be improved
There is this tendency to just work, work, work and not step back to understand why we're working 27 hours a day!
I put this down to not improving the steps you take to run your business efficiently or anything else for that matter.
Improving your workflow and the way your business operates can and will help you iron out the issues and make things better in the long run.

are you one of those people who think
things could always be improved I know I
am I'm a perfectionist
unfortunately because sometimes being a
perfectionist can actually hurt you
rather than help you however it does
help you anyway we won't go into that
so yesterday's episode was about
creating a workshop on whether people
were interested in workshops now I got a
couple of people who actually said they
were which is great I said these
workshops before so and I haven't sent
an email out to my email list yet which
I will do on Sunday on the Sunday dojo
so if you're not signed in signed up for
that do sign up anyway
and so I was working on my website I
created a workshops page I made sure
that calendly got set up and everything
going literally within a day it's quite
easy I could have done it quicker than
that but perfectionism and whilst I was
actually looking at my website I
realized there were some little things
so I improved them so the whole point of
this episode is things can always be
improved now if you think about runners
long distance write any kind of runners
they're always training and they're
training to improve themselves if you
think about people who go on any kind of
training it's they're basically doing
things to improve themselves you might
have gone on to some training courses
and workflow and workshops and so on to
improve what you know and that's always
a good thing but I've often find that
people don't have the time to improve
their business what I mean is that they
have their business and they keep
working on it
sorry working in it's not on it's
working in it so getting the clients in
making sure the marketing is OK and just
winging it and basically working on
everything now there's a ton of
marketers there's a ton of tech guys
the reason is because people always have
issues with it with their tech with
their copy on their websites with their
websites with the technology with the
running of their business basically with
everything so in every facet of a
business there's always somebody that
can help you and do things way better
than you can so the point is how do you
help your business grow how do you help
kind of save time for yourself because I
find a lot of people who work for
themselves they work 27 hours a day and
seem like they're getting nowhere now
again back that the reason why this
working so hard I don't very much doubt
that they want to make all the money
Under the Sun because it it's a killer
and there's no point you'll probably
find their work there they're basically
wearing their own hats like marketing
and website and stuff like that some
people can't do that website so they
they you know get somebody in to do that
but I find that there's always room for
improvement in any business and any part
of the business and I think if you're
having an issue with any part of your
business I think you should go and
sounds weird seek help go and actually
find someone or a business or a workshop
I mean obviously I would say that
because I'm doing workshop but something
that will basically help you to better
your business so you're not working
those 27 hours a day you know the
running joke for me is I work three
hours a day now that is true because I
kind of work three hours possibly four
hours a day for my clients and that's
more than enough money for for living
that's all I want but I do work all the
other hours because I want to improve my
business improve my workflow improve the
tools improve
you know I I didn't I wasn't able to
work four hours a day a long time ago
because I didn't have these systems in
place now these things that I've done
and I do for my clients is to make sure
that they don't have to work
twenty-seven hours a day they're not
fighting with their technology and
they're concentrating on their life
rather than concentrating on oh my god
this doesn't work what the you know and
then try to find someone on the on the
internet to see if they can help them
out and stuff so sorry someone's calling
me not now okay so there's always room
for improvement I would suggest going
through your business not just your
technology but your business and figure
out or figure out what part of the
business are you having problems with
and find someone pay someone and get
them to help you fix it because you
can't do everything on your own
no matter how much you think you can I'm
having issues issues with kind of
marketing in a way more to do with
because I've changed my business from
what it was to what it is and I'm trying
to find a way of getting people in to
what I do now and I think I'm gonna have
to find someone that's pure and simple
because that's not the hat that I can
wear anyway hope that's beneficial to
you as always sorry I was thinking about
something else as always keep it simple
wash your hands
we'll get through this together and I'll
see you tomorrow
have a great day ciao buh-bye
