Lifestyle Business School

It’s true what they say: What got you here, won’t get you there.
And, if you're a course creator that has already enjoyed that first sweet taste of success, it's NOT going to be the same “hustle to the top”, “doing allll of the things” mentality that is going to catapult you from where you are into a business that feels as good as it looks, supports the LIFE you want to lead, enjoys high profit margins and doesn't, on any level, burn you out.
In today's podcast episode, we're sharing a few key parts of the proprietary business diagnostic to allow you to self-assess the health of your online course business, and to discover the obstacles you need to focus on to get them from where you are, to where you want to be.
In this episode, we discussed:
✔️ Endgame;
✔️ Profit;
✔️ Time;
✔️ Delivery;
✔️ Marketing;
✔️ Finances;
✔️ Projections;
✔️ Metrics;
✔️ Project Management;
✔️ Workflow;
✔️ Accounting;
✔️ Planning;
✔️ Lean Team;
✔️ Tools;
✔️ Processes;
✔️ And MORE!
🚨 Are you an established course creator keen to get your hands on the FULL 76-point diagnostic? DM me over at @the.course.cartel on Instagram with the word "CEO", and I'll gift it you for free!

Let's talk about the difference between the amount of TIME you spend on something, and the amount of ENERGETIC capacity it takes up.
It's only recently that I have started to realise that there is a very big difference between the two, and have started optimising for energetic alignment as much as time.
My Original Personal Effectiveness Process - Time Optimisation
Every 90 days, I have ALWAYS completed a time audit.
It's incredibly helpful for identifying where my time goes, and to optimise it to start using it better.
Here's the three step process I have traditionally completed:

• Step One: Analyse my time. Every 90 days, I would audit every minute of my work time.
• Step Two: Audit my time. Once I had a list of everything I completed in a week, I would categorise them into departments and groups of tasks to get a snapshot of where I was spending my time.
• Step Three: Action. Finally, I would review the list and decide what delete (stop doing altogether), delegate (give to someone else or a tool to complete) or decrease (use Parkinson's Law to allocate less time to get it done).

By consistently completing this process, I was able to optimise my time to the point that I was completing ONLY the tasks I needed to, and was able to optimise the amount of time I spent doing those things, too.
The catch?
Realising that doing so was important and necessary, but that I was also missing one big and important step.
The Missing Step Four: Reviewing What's Left in Terms of Energetic Alignment.
Here's what I realised.
That there is a big difference between the amount of time you spend on something, and the "energetic capacity" that same task could take up.
And that by NOT reviewing my task list in terms of energetic alignment, I was able to drastically reduce the AMOUNT of time I was spending doing certain things, but not the energetic capacity I had left at the end of the day.
Because, whilst the tasks remaining on my plate didn't take huge TIME, they did take a lot from me.
If you're a personal effectiveness aficionado like me?
I highly recommend listening to today's episode.
Optimising for energetic alignment just as much as time might be the missing link for you, too.

I don’t care about leaving money on the table.

I don’t care about “maximising” my revenue” or getting the “most” out of every day.

Here’s what I do care about:

Spend Tuesday mornings at a 10am Pilates class. Stuffing around making labels for my new spice racks just because. Googling cool new hair-dos for my little girl. Sitting on the floor with her at 2pm on a Friday, playing hairdressers.

I care about travel. I care so much about travel. I care about renting a month-long Airbnb in Norway just because. And getting a van, and traveling around the English countryside stopping at every cute pub along the way. I care about driving down the California coast. Showing my kids Hearst Castle. Visiting Old Town Ibiza, and sipping Sangria at 10pm on a hot August evening.

I care about feeling free – really, truly free. Waking up on a Monday and relishing the week ahead. Spending the morning sitting in a cafe, writing for three hours over two half-strength cappuccinos. And never again sitting in an air-conditioned cubicle with no natural sunlight, taking orders from a girl called Samantha and waiting for Friday.

I care about life.

And living it, unconventionally and messily.

And having fun.

And being the poster girl for living free.

And above all?

After building a $2.5m business to the ground in the name of wild alignment, NOT sacrificing all of that at the altar of some arbitrary revenue goal that won’t even give me more of what I want.

That’s why I have the business I (now) do.

And the values I (now) have.

And it’s why I’m now so passionate about sharing with others my ethos for building a simple, highly profitable one-person + a tiny team style business to the Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot ®
In this week's podcast, I'll be sharing with you the Seven Commandments of Building a Business to the Lifestyle Business Sweet Spot.
