I've got some juicy tips to help you juggle that bustling business of yours while working a 9 to 5. I know, it sounds like a crazy amount to handle, but trust me, with a bit of love, planning, and some killer tools, you can totally rock it!
Now, grab your margarita (or coffee, no judgment here!), get cozy, and let's dive into the good stuff.
First things first—let’s talk about passion and priorities. If you're burning the midnight oil and still feeling energetic, it's probably because you're doing something you absolutely love. So be clear about what you want to accomplish. If your goal isn't crystal clear or something you're head over heels about, you might need to rethink your game plan. Once that passion is locked in, prioritize! Health, sleep, and your business goals—decide what comes first and stick to it.
Alright, tech time! Automating your posts can feel like having a magical assistant. Seriously. Social Bee is my secret weapon. Imagine scheduling your content and having it post while you're sipping your morning coffee... bliss, right? Create categories and schedules to make your life easier. Say goodbye to the days of scrambling to get your posts out.
Speaking of magic, let’s sprinkle a little Zapier into the mix. This tool connects all your apps and automates countless tasks. Subscribing to my newsletter? Zapier is the fairy godmother that makes sure you get all the right info without me lifting a finger. From Kajabi to Active Campaign, it’s a seamless process. And let’s not forget—automation means you can focus on what really matters: growing your biz.
Now, let’s chisel out that content. A well-stocked content bank is your best friend. Whether it's in Word, OneNote, Retable (my fave), or Trello, storing and organizing your content makes those "Oh no, I forgot to post!" moments a thing of the past. Picture this: you’ve got 90+ posts ready to go. No stress, just pure, unadulterated efficiency.
And here’s a nugget you can’t ignore—don’t f around. Seriously. Creating systems keeps you from getting caught up in the chaos. Implement streamlined processes for tasks like posting videos and updating your podcast stations. Efficiency equals more time for those margaritas, right?
Finally, plan those to-dos. Whether it’s massive Post-it notes on the wall or neat lists in Trello, keep track of your tasks. Weekends are my power hours; what’s your sweet spot? Assign dates, hit your goals, and don’t forget to reward yourself for those little wins.
So there you have it—solid gold advice to keep your business thriving while holding down that 9 to 5. Remember, it’s all about passion, priorities, smart tools, and a sprinkle of humor to keep you smiling.
Got questions? Wanna share your wins or seek more tips? Hit me up. Let’s keep the convo going—because together, we’re unstoppable.
Cheers to your biz magic,
