If you are someone who:
Runs a small business with a Delightfully Tiny Team, even if no one works full time (including you)
Feels like your mind is cluttered, and you’re
Struggling to keep up with endless pings and inboxes while important information and ideas fall through the cracks
I have good news! Most business stress is a systems problem—and it can be solved easier and faster than you think. In fact, I have already done ninety percent of the work for you :)
If you are drowning in the riptide of reactive work, barely treading water even on your best days, you don't have to continue working this way—this session will help you earn more while spending less, as you free your mind to do even more of your best work.
Even if the phrase operational efficiency makes you cringe, once you are set up with the right business backend, everything will click into place, and everyone you interact with will thank you. This isn’t about creating more work, either. The mark of a good system is that it’s harder not to use it.
If you’re a small business owner with a Delightfully Tiny Team, this workshop is for you. Based on key operating principles from my award-winning book Free Time, you will learn how to pass The Fiji Test, a thought-experiment to ensure that if you or anyone on your team were whisked to Fiji for three weeks with no notice, no devices, and no ability to communicate, the business would continue running seamlessly.
It’s time to say goodbye to repeating yourself, death-by-a-thousand-question cuts, struggling to remember where something lives, and letting important client work fall through the cracks. Freeing time is a skill, and it is one you can get better at.
