Work Less, Earn More

I recently posted a video where I broke down four phases to take you from zero to $100,000 dollars over the next 12 months. And in the comments, there were a lot of questions about phase three of that process. So today we’re diving into more detail about how to use systems and automation to scale your business. These are systems that will allow you or your team to guide people to find out about yo...

The security and protection of our businesses and our customers’ information is so important, but a lot of us don’t know that much about how to go about making those things as safe and secure as possible. Especially with rapid changes in technology and new threats to cybersecurity that come up. Which is why today I’ve brought in an expert. Todd Mitchell has over 25 years of experience in using ris...

If you only had 20 hours to work in your business each week, what task would be at the top of your priority list? Why? That’s the question I asked four of my most trusted business connections, friends, and mentors. Today, you’ll hear from Lucy Griffiths, Ashlyn Carter, Lacy Boggs, and Ashley Gartland in the first of a new format we’re calling Roundup, where I invite my business friends and mentors...

I got an email recently with a really good question.  The email went something like this, “I know you don’t have a crystal ball, but what is a fair estimate for how long it will take me to start making consistent monthly income. Some sort of ballpark to help me set my expectations would be helpful. The number I have in my head is 12 to 18 months from now that I should be covering my monthly expens...

Have you heard of the Employee Retention Credit? If you haven’t, you’re not alone. The ERC is part of a COVID relief program created by the US government to provide assistance to business owners who have been impacted by COVID-19. Your business could be eligible for a substantial credit but most entrepreneurs and business owners aren’t aware of it, which means there’s a significant amount of fundi...

Too often, choosing your business model isn’t a conscious decision and you accept whatever the default seems to be for your industry. But choosing your business model is a really important decision. The business model that you choose affects absolutely everything about how you do business, from what you do on a daily basis to how much money you make and how you make that money, to how much time yo...

Choosing your business model is a really important decision. The business model that you choose affects absolutely everything about how you do business, from what you do on a daily basis to how much money you make and how you make that money, to how much time you spend working each week. But too often, it isn’t even a conscious decision, but just accepted as the default for whatever type of busine...

When I started working on starting my online business, it was because I was running away from the business that I already had. Essentially, I was breaking up with my current business and my online business was a bit of a rebound. What I wanted out of my online business was flexibility and freedom.

Did you set a goal to take your business from $0 to $100,000 in 2022? You might think of dividing 100,000 by 365 and figure, “okay, I need to earn at least $274 per day and I’ll hit that mark.” But the first thing to know is that it isn’t going to happen that way. Most likely this process of going from zero to six figures over the next year is something that's going to happen exponentially. You're...

To celebrate our reaching 100 episodes of Work Less, Earn More, I’m revisiting some of my favorite episodes all this week.

Then I had to narrow it down from 20 or so episodes to 5. To do that, I n...

Being able to use my phone also gives me additional freedom and flexibility to bring my office with me when I need to. Today, I’m s...
