How to Build a Business ( that you like and doesn’t kill you
Ever feel like you're working all day? Drowning in tasks? putting out fires crossing off to-do's, but still wondering why your business isn't growing as fast as it should? It's because you're playing the wrong game. Most entrepreneurs think growth comes from doing more. But the truth? Growth comes from building systems for both your business and how you operate Here's how; Stop letting your business run you and start building your business around you. Begin by asking a question most never ask: "What do I actually want my life to look like?" Because if you don't define that your business will define it for you. And it won't be pretty. You'll end up stuck in a calendar you hate, with responsibilities you never chose, running a business you resent. So set constraints by mapping out your ideal week. What time you start? What time you finish? What your non-negotiables are? Whether that's doing deep work till 12 daily. Or no meetings on Wednesdays. Or golf every Friday. It doesn't matter what the constraint is. What matters is that it's yours. Because without clear constraints, there's no structure. Without structure, there's no way to improve. Next bring order to your time. By doing 2 thing; 1) Creating your standard week. This is recurring blueprint that shows you what happens and when. No more doing tasks "when you find time." You take every single task you have to do in your business and decide when it gets done. Team meetings every Monday or Tuesdays What day is dedicated to content. Some tasks get done daily. Some weekly Whatever it is for you. This doesn't just clear your head, but it makes sure nothing important slips through the cracks. 2) Plan tomorrow. Bring that task structure down to the daily level, because if it's not scheduled, it won't happen. You'll delay it or replace it with something "urgent." And suddenly, another day passes and the work that actually grows the business didn't get touched. So stop winging it. Plan your days, in order of priority, based on your standard week and whatever else you have to do that day.
