You probably became an entrepreneur to use your talents to help your clients become more successful and live their dream. The problem with growing your business is that as it grows, you run the risk of your clients consuming your schedule and your focus.
You spend so much time helping your clients that your business suffers due to lack of underlying business systems put into place that support you.
You end up working inside your business as opposed to working ON your business. When this happens, you go into reaction mode and rush to put a quick fix into place until you have more time to build a better system later.
You have everything it takes to run a successful business, but your business infrastructure does not help you help yourself. When you learn how to handle these 3 common productivity pitfalls, you will become organized, energized and able to take your business to the next level!
- Broken or duplicated systems
You might not realize how much your duplicated systems and/or broken systems are hampering your productivity and your sanity, and are keeping you away from the success and freedom that comes from being the successful business owner you deserve to be.
2. Multiple To Do Lists

Your ‘to do‘ lists have the capacity to multiply like happy bunny rabbits, with the likely result that your sleep patterns are interrupted by constant niggling thoughts of things left undone.
