114: “Failure is the Frame, Not the Picture”

We’ve got a Grab Bag this week with three favorite time-saving techniques, starting with an image I can’t get out of my mind by @jackbutcher of Visualize Value, followed by two listener submissions for the My Favorite Time-Saving System series.

🌟 Key Takeaways

  • “Failure is the frame, not the picture.” Remember that the specific event or experience you’re looking at isn’t the whole story; don’t judge something as a failure too soon.

  • Create a virtuous circle by nurturing your current clients and encouraging word-of-mouth referrals.

  • Improve retrievability in your business and your life by thinking your tasks through to their final outcomes and making sure the single next step after a current task is either already done, or so obvious it doesn’t have to be thought about.

📝Permission

From Karen—Not to take on new clients this quarter! Appreciate the ones you have, and watch as word-of-mouth magic grows as a result :)

✅Do (or Delegate) This Next

From Lauren—put your trash bags (real and proverbial) where they will instantly save time for your future self.
