The Paul Minors Podcast: Productivity, Business & Self-Improvement

Last year was a big year for me and my family. This is why, in 2025, I'm going to take my foot of the accelerator, slow down and I'm not going to set any specific goals for the year.When you're constantly chasing the next thing, you don't do justice to the hard work you've done to get to where you are and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement can get tiring.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/310If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

How you start your day and the habits and routines you adopt genuinely have a big impact on your effectiveness throughout the day. I'm also a big believer in consistency and when you do the same thing each day, these small habits can have a big impact over time. With that said, here are some of the things I do on a daily basis to look after my health, set up for the day and get my work done.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/308/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo 

A crucial productivity mantra that has continued to stick over the years is: “Get it out of your head”. This is an idea I first came across in David Allen's book Getting Things Done. He nailed it when he said, “Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.” That quote really hit home for me, and it's shaped how I use tools and technology to reduce my mental workload.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/307/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

When I first started my business, like most business owners, I was focused on making money. That's the goal of any business, right? And for me, I simply wanted to earn enough to replace my full-time salary. However, over time, how I view money has evolved. As I've talked about before, I now put a lot of my effort into making the business more efficient; optimising our time and the energy required to do our work.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/306/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

Knowing what your ideal client looks like is critical if you want to attract the right customers to your business and have successful outcomes. This is not to say you shouldn't work with clients who don't exactly fit the profile you're looking for. But having a customer ‘avatar' helps you to focus your marketing and filter potential prospects.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/305/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

I recently enjoyed this conversation with Ed Sheeran (one of my favourite musicians) on the Theo Von podcast. During the interview, about 58 minutes in, Ed talked about how he always tries to be as honest as he can with people concerning what he's thinking or feeling.And this is something I've always tried to do. Whether I'm on a sales call, helping a client, or talking to a friend or family member, I usually try to be as transparent as I can.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/303/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

A focus is more than a priority. Every day, we have high-priority tasks that we're working on. A focus is bigger than that. It's your north star. It's more like your number one goal. But where you can have multiple goals, I only ever have one focus. Your focus is the main area you're putting time and energy into for the quarter or even the year.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/302/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

In his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, author Robert Kiyosaki describes three types of income: 1) Earned income (e.g. from your salary or business income) 2) Passive income (Income that doesn't require active work to generate e.g. income from a rental property) 3) Portfolio income (e.g. capital gains from owning an asset that appreciates in value).If you've earned an income from your business, you could reinvest it to grow your earned income further. But why not invest it in an asset that's going to generate a passive income or capital gain?Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/298/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo 

In this episode of Minor Updates, I share some of the things I've been focussing on in my business and personal life.

Over the weekend I visited a local hardware store to enquire about purchasing a line trimmer. This is the second time I've been to the store in the last month or so and on both occasions, I left disappointed without making a purchase. I've talked to two salespeople now and neither one had enough product knowledge to make a clear recommendation that would solve my problem.What I need is for someone to understand my needs, talk me through a few viable options and make a recommendation on which option to go with. I want to feel confident that I'm making the right decision before I spend $500.This illustrates precisely why I sell my services in the way that I do.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/296/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

I've shared previously on this blog that my primary motivation right now (as it has been for years) is to make my business more efficient.

My new assistant, Faith, has been working with me for just over a month now and she's already helping to save me a tonne of valuable time.In this episode, I'd like to share the process of how I hired her and some of the steps I took to onboard here.

Almost all of the Pipedrive and Asana clients we work with tell us the same thing - “We're not getting as much as we can out of the tool”. A big part of getting more out of the tool is learning how to use the tool itself. But an often overlooked aspect is making sure you're inputting good data and keeping it up to date. This is the whole ‘Quality In = Quality Out' argument.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/292/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

A productivity principle I've been following for years now is to always identify my ‘next action' related to the projects and clients I'm working on.This is something I discussed in episode 243 of my podcast which I'd like to revisit as it's such a simple, yet powerful concept that can really help you to be more organised.The concept of a ‘next action' was first introduced to me in David Allen's book, Getting Things Done. I don't follow GTD strictly, but when I've certainly adopted this concept from the book. According to David Allen, the next action is the most immediate activity that YOU can take to move a task or project forward.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/289/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

Today, I wanted to share a story that illustrates exactly why you shouldn't put all your eggs into one basket. Especially when it comes to your income.Either as a business owner or a salaried employee, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Meaning, don't get all of your income from one source. You never know when something may happen and the rug gets pulled out from underneath you. By having a few sources of revenue or a side hustle, diversification is the key to protecting yourself.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/288If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

I often get asked about the services I use to accept payments online for my products and consulting support. In this post, I'm going to break everything down (so I can refer people later on).It's worth giving some thought to how to accept payments so you can 1) create a seamless experience for customers that makes it easy for them to pay for your product or service 2) reduce the amount of fees you have to pay to middlemen so more of it ends up in your pocket.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/286If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

Everyone should be dedicating some portion of their time to improving their productivity. Productivity is about being more effective and efficient; in other words, doing things better and faster. If you can develop a productive mindset, you can apply this to almost every aspect of your work and life.This is why I'm so passionate about being productive. It's not actually that I want to be productive. It's all about the end result. Productivity is just the skill you can apply to get the results you want, faster. For me, that could be growing my business, freeing up my time or improving my health.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/285If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

You've probably heard of the 80/20 principle before. If you haven't, you've probably heard the general concept. The 80/20 principle (officially known as the Pareto Principle) says that 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes.The general idea is that 80% of outcomes come from just 20% of inputs; by identifying the correct 20% and optimising these few inputs, we can generate the greatest impact on outcomes. We often talk about the 80/20 rule within the productivity space because this principle is all about getting the biggest bang for your buck (whatever that might be). It's also about identifying the 80% of inputs that are only generating 20% of your results. This is time you are essentially wasting which you should reallocate towards more worthwhile pursuits.Here are some of the ways I've applied the 80/20 principle to my business.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/284/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

An area of productivity and efficiency that I like to optimise, which I feel not enough people focus on is: high-volume, micro improvements. In other words, optimising small tasks that you do all the time which adds up to big improvements in efficiency.I'm going to share some examples of things we all do every single day, and if you can do these things just a little bit quicker, the time savings really add up over time.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/281If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

Documenting your processes not only helps to improve your efficiency but it's necessary if you ever plan to scale your business.By having a checklist or notes on how to complete a specific task, you can get the work done quicker as you don't have to remind yourself of the process each time. And you're less likely to miss an important step that could set you back later.I've also learned that in order to remove myself as the bottleneck so I can grow my business, I need to have good documentation in place so whoever is doing the work can do everything I need to the standards I require. Or if someone new starts doing this task, they can learn the new process quickly.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/280/If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

If you've ever heard the story or seen the Tom Hanks movie about Apollo 13, you may remember that the crew almost didn't make it. After a routine procedure led to the explosion of one of the ship's oxygen tanks, the crew had to shut down almost all systems on the ship in order to preserve power which they would need to reenter the earth's atmosphere and land safely.

One of the most important contributing factors to a successful client engagement is how you manage expectations.

And because I offer support for a project management tool like Asana, I often get asked if I can help with similar apps like ClickUp or Trello.

It's that time of year again when we set goals for the new year. And it's important to have well-defined goals with specific outcomes you can measure (i.e. SMART goals: Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely). I've set some goals for the year. But personally, I find it more useful to have a ‘focus' for the year.Where a goal defines a specific outcome you're trying to achieve. A focus is more general and higher-level.

Every week, my Zapier expert, Warwick, and I do a 'weekly review' where we run down the list of all clients we're currently working with to determine where we're at and what we need to do next. During last Friday's review, we were exploring whether there's a better way of managing our workload and I said something that has since stuck in my mind.I said:“We need to have a policy of zero-tolerance for inefficiency.

We make thousands of decisions every single day from what to wear or what to eat for breakfast to how to respond to an email or what to work on next. And we should always be striving to make the best decision we can as efficiently as possible.I put a lot of my productivity down to not overthinking things. Generally, I make quick decisions and move on. Some decisions require more time. But in general, I like making quick decisions so my brain has less to remember and process. The more things I have in the “thinking about” basket, the greater my mental burden and the less brain power I have to focus on my work. This also means you have more mental capacity when something comes up that deserves a bit more thinking time.Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/268If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo

You've probably heard the expression “Perfection is the enemy of progress”. Of course, there's always a balance with everything and I'm not saying this is an excuse to accept low-quality results. But whatever it is you're doing, whether you're choosing what tools to use in your business or you're setting up a new website, you want to aim for “good enough”.

Meditation is a habit I've dabbled with on and off over the years. I first downloaded the Headspace app, which was my first exposure to meditation, in 2013. Over the years I've gone through periods of where I meditate regularly followed by long dry spells where I don't meditate at all. As I've said on the blog before, I often use habits like meditation and journaling when I feel I need them.But my attitude towards meditation has changed recently. Rather than using meditation as a way to treat stress or that feeling of being overwhelmed, I now view meditation as a tool to maintain a calm, composed feeling all the time (to the best of my ability).Show notes (please leave me a comment with your questions and feedback) » https://paulminors.com/263If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could leave me a review.Intro/Outro Music: "Synthia" by Scott & Brendo
