2 Listeners
As an introverted entrepreneur, proper scheduling is the key to avoiding burnout. Jodi Lasky is the Introvert Founder, and she coaches a wide range of neurodiverse entrepreneurs and helps them develop sustainable strategies for their success and well-being. If you are an introverted entrepreneur, it can be hard to schedule your time in a way that is not energy-draining when big to-do lists are overwhelming, and new ideas can derail you from a productive workflow. The solution is to work backward from your future dreams and create a comprehensive list of the tasks you need to complete every week to make progress toward these long-term goals. Measuring their size and priority, curate this weekly list of tasks from your giant to-do list, and don't let anything distract or derail you from these weekly achievements. Save yourself from the overwhelm and energy drain of entrepreneurship and make yourself a strategic schedule today!
Notes:
⭐ Jodi is an entrepreneur, a coach, a speaker, and a writer with a lot of experience in government work and tech: she's an introvert and has ADHD - introversion is not shyness. 01:24
🎯 The biggest difficulty for an introvert is trying not to be one: extroverts get energy from networking, but introverts should choose networking events carefully because they drain energy. 04:44
✅ Pre-COVID, many people were forcing themselves to try to be extroverts, and they paid for it on the back end: introversion and extroversion aren't necessarily a fixed binary. 07:03
📋 Even if ideas are flowing, that doesn't mean they're good: Jodi has a process based on agile software development that helps you with your to-do lists. 08:45
💎 Jodi shared two big life lessons: people say many things, but it's not their actual opinion - use your time intelligently, even when networking. 16:17

Jeffrey Hayzlett - The Strategy for Success
The hard work of entrepreneurship can take its toll on us if we don't adopt a strategic mindset. Jeffrey Hayzlett is the chairman & founder of the C-Suite Network, where he supports C-level executives and entrepreneurs in achieving professional success. Being an entrepreneur is not a walk in the park, and it requires a delicate life balance of spirituality, friends, family and your business. The best way to overcome the hurdles and manage your way through the inevitable failures is to have a strategy in place, and that means automating, delegating and eliminating your daily tasks so you can prioritize the most important ones. You are responsible for your own success, so set boundaries for yourself and focus on the core goal of your business; the problem you are solving for others. Stop surviving, find your inspiration, and start to thrive and drive through the obstacles standing between you and your goals!
Notes:
👔 Jeffrey is a prime-time television host, a global business celebrity speaker, a best-selling author, and chairman and CEO of the C-Suite Network: he's a millennial trapped in a baby boomer body who loves to solve core issues, take care of his family, earn money and have fun. 02:04
✅ A leader's job is not to be the smartest person in the room but to be the most strategic: decision-making is a lot simpler when you have a clear direction. 05:28
👨🍳 Jeffrey finds inspiration in the people around him. 07:11
🪞 The only person who will change it for you is the person who is looking in the mirror at you every day: get off your keister, get off your couch, quit eating bonbons and feeling sorry for yourself, and get in the game! 11:25
😷 Jeffrey shares his horrible experience where failure was unavoidable: you can make a little lemonade out of some lemons, but it's still tough. 15:18
✅ It doesn't do you any good just to survive because we all need to thrive. 17:59
🚴 Sturgis and Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota are awesome places for bike lovers: stay away from buffalo! 21:58
🎯 Focus on the problem because if you can solve the problem for somebody, they'll pay you. 25:19

How Doing Everything In Your Business Can Do More Harm Than Good - with Kate De Palma
Lowering your productivity benchmark is essential for long-term success. Kate De Palma is the founder & CEO of Scented Designs Candle Co. and shares the time management insights she learned during her entrepreneurial journey. Entrepreneurs often end up trying to do everything themselves, which leads to a lack of focus and productivity in the long run. The key to keeping yourself focused on what is most important and maintaining that feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction is to create more manageable and realistic goals. Offload some tasks onto other people, stop checking your phone every 5 minutes, and take baby steps toward your high-priority goals. Start working on something valuable and stop filling your time with busy work!
Notes:
🕯️ Kate is a Stanford graduate, a former educator, and the founder of Scented Designs, a clean-crafted Candle Company: company growth takes time and education, and sometimes it needs to be a side job until it develops. 01:42
🤝 Doing in-person markets pre-COVID enabled Kate to do collaborations and survive the pandemic. 05:58
👙 Kate loves finding collaborations in the most unexpected places: working with someone is not about competing but serving your customer at a higher level. 09:51
✅ You don't need a full-time employee because just one person a few hours a week can make a difference: there's real power in saying no and focusing your energy. 13:39
📋 If you can't make your priorities, hire a business manager and practice lowering the expectation bar a little bit. 17:08
👉 Don't play catch up - just realize where you are and take baby steps: when you're not so busy, things get in a natural order and pace. 20:27
❣️ Shut down the inbox, close the email tab, and go to Do Not Disturb mode to save your productivity. 23:16
