Productivity Tips For Entrepreneurs That Work

Psst... love this post? Click here to pin it for later!

In my previous businesses, I wasted a lot of time on tasks that were non-essential, not revenue-generating, or even the most urgent, important tasks that actually needed to get done in my business. 

Often, I felt like I was spinning my business wheels and not making a lot of traction. 

When I launched Joanne Wetzel Coaching and after I endured business burnout, I knew that I wanted to be more intentional and productive with this new business. 

I've always been a personal growth junkie, so it came as no surprise when I started learning all I could about business time management and productivity. 

In this blog post (and YouTube tutorial below), I reveal four (of many) productivity tips and hacks I use to stay focused, intentional, and highly productive in my own business. 

I hope these help you to do the same!

This is a guest post by Dubsado Expert, Caitlyn Bee, with Indigo Tide Market.

As your business grows, your client responsibility increases. I have found this to be the prime time where many business owners start getting overwhelmed and things go haywire. Emails don’t get sent, forms start getting lost, and life is spent solely on back end client tasks -- instead of the heart of your business. 

If you are like me, you may try to wrangle all of this by yourself and be at the point of exhaustion before finding help. Today, it’s time for you to take a breath and consider adding some automation to your business.

Before you cringe, let me preface with the fact that automation does not have to be impersonal.  The goal is to keep you organized and uplevel your client experience with consistency. Trust me, your clients will shout your services from the rooftop once you start automating a few things on your plate. 

3 Things You Should Automate In Your...

This is a guest post by digital organization and business system coach, Lydia Martin, of Banish Business Clutter and the Digital Clutter Cure.

What is Clutter?

When you hear the word "clutter", do you just think of physical clutter? A messy desk? A pile of paperwork? A room in your home that is disorganized?

According to Merriam-Webster, the verb clutter means... to run in disorder; to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness.

I think Peter Walsh explains it best when he said,

“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor. It's anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.”

In 1995, I was a newlywed and a music teacher who launched a home-based business as a side gig. (Long before the term "gig economy" was a thing.)

Over the next 20 years, that business ended up changing my life and the life of my family. I could go on and on...

Being a #Kajabihero is like being in a club with other superheroes. 

I've been a digital entrepreneur for about a year now. In that time, I've used Squarespace, Honeybook, Teachable, Dubsado, Square, and other miscellaneous apps and software to scale my business.

But, I knew that if I wanted to diversify my income, grow my business in a grand way, and look professional while doing it -- I need to find a platform that could do it all.

That's why I signed up for Kajabi and never looked back.

That's also why in this post I want to share with you seven reasons you should switch to Kajabi, too!

Seven Reasons I Decided To Switch To Kajabi

1. It's scalable upward and outward. 

Whether you have one student or ten thousand, Kajabi can handle the backend stuff no questions asked.

You can truly scale without worrying about running out of data (like Katra) or without having to use a second...

I want to first start off by saying that Teachable is a great starter platform. It was easy enough to use and the knowledge base is great for beginner course creators, BUT, if you want to take things a step further in your online business, Kajabi just might be the switch you need to make, so learn more here.

I've been using Kajabi for almost two years now and I am continually impressed by the platform and all of its capabilities. Not to mention, the staff at Kajabi are always working to make improvements! 

So, read on to hear why I switched from Kajabi to Teachable and some insightful reasons you may want to also.

Why I Switched From Teachable To Kajabi

1. It's an all-inclusive platform.

This is primarily the main reason why I decided to take the leap and invest in Kajabi.

Prior to joining Kajabi, I had a website management platform, email marketing software, and course...

This episode is not a how-to business episode.

This episode of the YOU Empowered Podcast is a heart episode.

Meet my sweet friend and superb portrait, boudoir, and wedding photographer, Ashley Stephenson, of Story Photographers. Ashley has been in business for almost fifteen years, so she has a lot to share and more importantly, she has lived through so many of the topics we discuss on this episode.

I'm partial to this episode for so many reasons. Mainly, Ashley has definitely shared some of her wisdom and advice (albeit, unintentionally) with me at times and it's made quite the impact on my business journey, too.

I'm always in awe of how Ashley has endured so many challenges and successes in her decade and a half in business. Needless to say, there is a ton you are going to learn from this lady!

Ashley and I sit down and chat about:

• The creation and journey of Story Photographers
• How she picked...

As solopreneurs or service-based businesses, many of us are the face behind our brand.

But, in this day and age of stiff competition, comparison from social media, and digital overwhelm, it can be immensely difficult to stay true to ourselves, our business, and our brand's authentic voice.

On this episode of YOU Empowered Podcast, I sat down with portrait and fashion photographer as well as a creative consultant for personal brands, Kevin Kleitches, of Kevin Titus Photo to discuss just how he has built his own personal brand and taken that knowledge from the school of hard knocks to teach others to do the same!

Some of the things we talk about include:

• How to set yourself apart when you are a personal brand and remain true to your authentic voice
• Why educating your clients will put your business above others in your industry
• How taking the extra step to inquire about your client's...
