I often hear people say that they lack time to build their business. I personally don’t believe this is true.
I think they lack the ability to prioritize their time, lack of knowledge for ways to say no – and often lack taking ownership for their choices.
This may sound harsh, but we have to move away from blaming outside circumstances for why things aren’t going how we want.
You are the one in control of what you do every day. You are not a victim. None of us are!
We all have the ability to shift and adjust our schedule if we want to. It might not be immediately, but it could be 6 months from now or even a year!
Some great tools that I use to help me save time when building my business are below:
HopperHQ: Scheduling app for scheduling my social media content. This allows me to open this app up and schedule all my content ahead of time.
Onestream.Live: I use this to schedule LIVE videos on Facebook and Youtube to go live every day. Then I can pre-record my content.
Calendly: This saves me time from back and forth scheduling with contacts and clients about what time I have available.
Virtual Assistant: Hire a VA to help you with the tasks you need help with that are repetitive in your business.
Conversion.ai: This is an artificial intelligence app that helps you write all your marketing copy! Get a free trial here: conversion.ai/free-trial?fpr=jeremykrak
After using some of these tools, the next thing you want to do is find out what to eliminate from your life.
What activities are you doing every day that you can stop doing?
What is sucking your time away that you could be spending building your business?
Why do you have to do those things every day?
What can you shift and adjust in your life?
When you get really honest with yourself about those questions, you will usually discover about 10% of your life that you can move around to make room for your business activities.
It’s going to take you time, but it’s worth it.
You’re not a victim or a prisoner to the amount of time you have in your life. It’s possible to prioritize things and shift them around to make room for you to build your business.
As a business owner you have to start working like a professional.
I’m always looking for ways to optimize my life and the time it takes for me to do things.
There’s no excuse for “lack of time” when optimization can save you hours.
We have to be intentional to create this optimization in our lives.
Make a choice to figure out where you can optimize your time and you will be able to get far more done in your business on a daily basis!
