Speaker 1: slash skills to register. Good morning and.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to 10x. People skills. Host Natalie workman. We're
Speaker 2: back at our house today because we have a.
Speaker 3: Critical project going on that is required. I think there's
Speaker 3: 10 people coming in and out here so I'm going
Speaker 3: to try to not disrupt anyone but there's some video
Speaker 3: footage going on and I will we'll be talking about
Speaker 3: the project at some other time. What I do want
Speaker 3: to talk about is time. It was actually quite serendipitous
Speaker 3: this morning on our all team meeting for those of
Speaker 3: you who don't know we have an all team meeting
Speaker 3: every single day at 95. Well we we skip the weekends.
Speaker 3: That is that is one of the perks of setting
Speaker 3: when you're medians are for you have to do things
Speaker 3: on weekends.
Speaker 4: But we've an all team meeting and one of the
Speaker 4: pieces from a structure standpoint one of the pieces that's
Speaker 4: a critical piece of our all team meeting is where
Speaker 4: our team member reads from one of Grant cartoons books.
Speaker 5: And the idea there is somebody randomly gets chosen to
Speaker 5: do card on you right before right before we go
Speaker 5: through the book.
Speaker 2: So random wheel will pick somebody they wrote play and
Speaker 2: share what they watched with carto knew. And then that
Speaker 2: person gets chosen to be the person who really have
Speaker 2: a hard time explaining this this morning.
Speaker 4: I don't know it's gone. I think it's probably because
Speaker 4: I just had a doughnut and I don't only eat
Speaker 4: doughnuts at 9:00 in the morning anyway you open this
Speaker 4: book and you randomly flip through the pages and today's
Speaker 4: Page was talking all about time and this morning and
Speaker 4: I released a podcast on work woman.
Speaker 6: For those of you who don't know I have a
Speaker 6: podcast it's called Walk woman and it's all about how
Speaker 6: to stop wasting time and why you should pay for
Speaker 6: services or help in order to increase your productivity.
Speaker 5: And I give you guys my tips and tricks in
Speaker 5: the way that I've stopped feeling guilty about using time
Speaker 5: because here's the thing if I can get one extra
Speaker 5: hour a day of things that I absolutely need to
Speaker 5: focus on from a strategic standpoint that is more valuable
Speaker 5: than me doing laundry driving to work going grocery shopping
Speaker 5: like all of those small things that absolutely add up.
Speaker 4: The reason that I chase and what no doughnuts I
Speaker 4: know I'm like still jittery from the doughnut. My stomach
Speaker 4: hurts I'm not going to do that again but for
Speaker 4: time from a time standpoint Brandon and I so value
Speaker 4: our time because we know that the mental energy that
Speaker 4: we have and the fixed amount of time that we
Speaker 4: have it is critical for us to use strategically for
Speaker 4: the things that actually impact our clients and our team members.
Speaker 4: And so when we're planning out a day for anything
Speaker 4: that we can cut down wasted time on we we
Speaker 4: do those things. Jason my toenails. I mean you guys
Speaker 4: want to see my feet. Is this weird. Is this
Speaker 4: where I type people skills you never know what's gonna
Speaker 4: happen authentic people skills.
Speaker 2: There they are. Black toenails Jason was at our event
Speaker 2: over this weekend and he also had black toenails and
Speaker 2: so we bonded over it really be in the best
Speaker 2: color for what you should be painting your toenails. But
Speaker 2: anyway when it comes to time you have to start
Speaker 2: thinking about the things that you are putting in your
Speaker 2: life or you are strategically removing something that you quote
Speaker 2: unquote have to do or you think you have to
Speaker 2: do and using it for something that you need to
Speaker 2: do in order to push yourself forward. For many of
Speaker 2: you that looks like process documentation you put off creating
Speaker 2: an onboarding plan for your team members because you're just
Speaker 2: so busy with patients or with clients or with all
Speaker 2: of the fires that you have to put out in
Speaker 2: an individual day. However if you are not taking the
Speaker 2: time to do those things you're not taking your your
Speaker 2: goals seriously. And what this looks like is actually spending
Speaker 2: money to commit to you having that free time so
Speaker 2: you pay somebody to clean your house so that you
Speaker 2: don't have to clean your house. You don't have to
Speaker 2: spend the time thinking oh do I have to do laundry.
Speaker 2: Do I have to make my bed which probably make
Speaker 2: your bed anyway because that's just a habit thing. But
Speaker 2: there are all these things that come around with cleaning
Speaker 2: your house organizing your house driving yourself to work getting
Speaker 2: food those administrative things that you actually don't have to do.
Speaker 2: It's not it's not a unique thing to anybody on
Speaker 2: this call to for you to be the person that
Speaker 2: actually picks up your groceries. We live in 20 20
Speaker 2: which means that there are tools and technologies that you
Speaker 2: can use in order to increase your efficiency and to
Speaker 2: spend money like that is my challenge. You have to
Speaker 2: spend money in order to commit to getting that time
Speaker 2: back and using it efficiently. And I go so deep
Speaker 2: into this on work woman because I really believe that
Speaker 2: this is the differentiator between people who say that they
Speaker 2: have goals and for people who commit to the goal
Speaker 2: and do whatever it takes in order to rearrange things
Speaker 2: in their life to make that thing happen because it's
Speaker 2: not going to happen if you don't rearrange things you're
Speaker 2: not going to have less fires in your business.
Speaker 5: You're not going to have less times to grocery stop
Speaker 5: or to cook to grocery shop or to cook dinner
Speaker 5: unless you rearrange. And part of rearranging is making a
Speaker 5: massive commitment. So I don't know exactly what that looks
Speaker 5: like for you.
Speaker 4: For Brandon and I that look like buying a plane
Speaker 4: and that is a massive massive time investment that is
Speaker 4: not a luxury investment that is not a we are
Speaker 4: trying to be cool investment that is in order to
Speaker 4: achieve our goals we have to be in many places
Speaker 4: and be able to pop around in our time is
Speaker 4: valuable enough to place a premium on it to get
Speaker 4: somewhere more efficiently and for years he and I just
Speaker 4: rationalized why we shouldn't do it why it didn't make
Speaker 4: sense how it doesn't pencil out on paper. You never
Speaker 4: ask your accountant about that type of thing. But guys.
Speaker 4: It has been a game changer. It will continue to
Speaker 4: be a game changer. And Brad and I have stopped
Speaker 4: making that talk track and that worry legitimate. We've just
Speaker 4: said OK we're making this commitment. We are going to
Speaker 4: use it wisely. We don't just party and go on
Speaker 4: trips with it we use it for business purposes so
Speaker 4: that we can further the mission vision and the core
Speaker 4: values that we have that we are rapidly chasing after
Speaker 4: every single day. And so I don't know what that
Speaker 4: looks like for you. I have not taken a peek
Speaker 4: into your calendar. However if I did I am certain
Speaker 4: that I would find things there that you are not
Speaker 4: the person that you are that you are not the
Speaker 4: person that has to do those things. And for those
Speaker 4: things my challenge to you in order for you to
Speaker 4: increase your ability and your capacity to be good with
Speaker 4: your team and to lead them effectively is for you
Speaker 4: to identify who else could do them. And who you
Speaker 4: could pay and how that arrangement works out. And my
Speaker 4: challenge is if you do that for just one month
Speaker 4: you pay an extra 500 dollars to have somebody. Clean
Speaker 4: your house and deliver food. Try it for a month
Speaker 4: and be intentional about the time don't watch television try
Speaker 4: it for a month and see what happens. I can
Speaker 4: promise you that it will be a game changer. So
Speaker 4: with that for 10x people skills today I would love
Speaker 4: it if you would subscribe to the work women podcast
Speaker 4: if you want to go deeper into. So the other
Speaker 4: tips and tricks that we use in order to be
Speaker 4: more efficient with our time what has worked what hasn't
Speaker 4: this episode stop wasting time is going to be your
Speaker 4: best friend. And with that we have an exciting announcement.
Speaker 4: We are going to be doing a people workshop in
Speaker 4: November on November 21st and 22nd in Scottsdale Arizona. This
Speaker 4: will be a time to dive in to people we're
Speaker 4: going to be doing our three workshops we're going to
Speaker 4: be doing the structure of the hiring all the way
Speaker 4: through the onboarding training and then firing process and really
Speaker 4: get tactical with those things. We have a lot of
