7 Strategies & Tools To Leverage Your Time & Business

blog post leverage your time Feb 08, 2022

Are you ready to be truly free?

They say you have made it when you are making money while you sleep!  For many of us, this is the goal we strive for!  Having the money coming in while we are doing other things in our lives!

The question is how do we make that happen?

Nowadays it is much easier with technology!  When I started in business back in 2007, in order for me to work from home I had to leverage GoToMyPC which was a software that was housed on my work computer that would allow me to login to my remotely!  It worked for the most part, but it had its challenges when the office computer would do an update and shut off or we would lose power and it would not turn back on!

With the invention of better software, laptops, tablets and smartphones, technology has changed the way we work!  But I still believe we need people to help us leverage our time efficiently!

Today I am sharing with you 7 Strategies & Tools To Leverage Your Time & Business!

Each week, I empower you with tips and a free resource to help you live this one life we were given! This week I am offering you an opportunity to check out my brand-new free webinar – How to Shift from Fried to Free in Five Months WITHOUT Fear of Failure!  During the webinar I will share my story of how I went from working 80+ hour weeks to working part time while building a multi-million dollar business!  You can register for this webinar at www.passionpurposeposture.com/friedtofree and I will also pop the link in below!

 Do you dream about waking up to sales or new clients or leads in your email inbox?  I know I sure did!  Luckily, I was not afraid of technology and always game to try whatever was new if I thought it could better leverage my time!

For 10 years I ran a brick-and-mortar business in the senior home care industry, where I had 4000 sq ft of office space and 17 team members! The biggest challenge as the leader was how do I have a dedicated team who got done what needed to be accomplished in a 24/7 business, while they were living their lives too!

Technology, Systems & Support!

Then I sold that business and moved into the online industry which was a total 180 for me where I had to learn a lot in a short period of time!  And I am still learning more and more to this day!  That’s what you do as entrepreneur right?

So let me share with you 7 Strategies & Tools To Leverage Your Time & Business:

  1. Google Calendar – I was introduced to the Google Suite of products back in the early 2000’s when I needed to share my calendar with my team. I was hesitant to make the switch from Outlook to Google, but I was instantly in love!  To this day, this is my top performing and most loved piece of tech!  I love that you can share your calendar, you can color code the items on your calendar, you can easily drag and drop items when they need to be rebooked!  It just works seamlessly in my world of having ultimate freedom!  I am not an advocate for an electronic calendar and paper calendar.  I highly recommend just one because it seems something always gets lost, or you don’t have the paper version with you to check something when not home!  Google Calendar has allowed me to work my business from all over the world!
  2. Trello – I was introduced to Trello about a year or 2 ago when I needed to collaborate with a few people on one project! This software has a free and paid version to choose from, but the free worked really well.  It allows you to see your project, who is responsible for tasks, and you can mark them completed, reassign them or move them to a new date!  I highly recommend this if you work with a VA or a team who needs to see the big picture of a project and the users are all in different locations! 
  3. Cinchshare or Facebook Scheduler – If you run a business that relies on posting on social media, you must invest in a scheduling software. If you are new to scheduling and using Facebook, you can use their free version for Pages or Groups, but not your own profile.  I personally love Cinchshare for Facebook posting, its simple and I can batch content 3 months at a time for my Facebook Groups. Speaking of batching. If you want to truly not be glued to your work, you need to group all the same tasks together at the same time. For instance, I am taping 5 weeks’ worth of video topics all in one day instead of doing them weekly. This frees me from the stress of finding the time to do one weekly.  Think about what social media posting you need to do in your business and how you can batch it, then schedule it with a software provider!
  4. Your Network – The people you know could be one of the ways to becoming free! I love to be a connector which means I know someone with a need and someone else who has a service, and I connect them!  The more people you know, the more resources you have available to you!  This could be someone to bounce ideas off, someone to give you a referral, or even someone to provide you a service of their own!  Think about what you need and who you know that could help!  That is the power of your network!
  5. Hiring a Service Provider – I want you to figure out how much your time is worth? Is it worth $10 for 2 hours where you could place an order for Whole Foods through the Amazon app and have them deliver your groceries to you vs you getting in your car, doing the shopping yourself, and then driving back home? Would that be worth the $10 delivery fee?  What about housekeeping?  Would it be worth paying someone $100 for 2 hours to clean your house once a month vs you having to find the time, deal with the aggravation and not being able to complete that business project because you had to clean up!  Time is the one thing, we cannot get more of, so really think about what your time is worth when deciding to hire a service provider!
  6. A Paid Support Team – I made the decision to hire my first employee in my franchise from Day 1. I knew that I would not be able to build the business the right away alone! I needed to be on the road focused on marketing and she needed to be in the office hiring and scheduling.  So, I made that decision from the start!  My coaching business is just me and it is working, when it becomes to much, I will hire a VA and outsource some of my needs!
  7. Mentors & Coaches – This is where I made my biggest mistake in business in my first go round! I initially set myself up for success by purchasing a franchise, but then I did not hire a coach when I was stuck, stressed out and on the edge of burn out!  I knew I needed someone, but I was too stubborn to ask for help, my ego got in the way, and I guess honestly I am not sure I felt worthy enough to have that one on one help!  Regardless, it held me back!  It took me 2 long years to get from where I was to where I wanted to be. I know now that if I had invested in myself that process would have been faster.  Needless to say, I did not make that mistake the 2nd time around.

In summary, sit down and assess all the technology, systems and support you could utilize in your life and business to truly set you free. The ability to have your business running while you are living your one life, will change your life!
