TMBA 684: Personal Productivity vs. Business Productivity
Podcast 25:41 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
Business processes and systems have been an emerging theme on this show recently. Today Dan reflects on why, and where they fit into the entrepreneurial journey.
That journey often starts with personal growth through things like maximizing your health, reading, making connections, and maybe therapy. The second stage of advancing small businesses is frequently through different sorts of professional coaching. But, at some point, owners tend to hit roadblocks that can only be overcome by deploying systems rather than constantly fighting fires.
Today’s guest, Aaron Lynn, has dug deep on this, at college, in businesses he’s founded, and as a business systems consultant. He joins Dan to talk about the importance of quick wins as well as long term strategy, the difference between personal and business productivity systems, the importance of meeting cadence, and a whole lot more.
Listen and Learn:
Why looking for immediate impact is a good way to start
How personal productivity differs fundamentally from business productivity
When do business systems become vital
The importance of daily stand-ups
