Hello my Lovelies!  This is a full circle moment for me, an opportunity to speak with a podcaster and author I've admired from afar since 2018.  We geek out on topics like intuition, somatic and body-based wisdom, free time, neurochemistry, avoiding social media, envy, desires, opting out of parenthood, the auntie brigade, vulnerability, and salty podcasts.

She loves helping people move from friction to flow through smarter systems, powered by Delightfully Tiny Teams. She recently released her award-winning third book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business (Ideapress, 2022). Jenny is also the author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One (Portfolio, 2016), winner of the Axiom award for Best Business Book in the Careers category, and co-creator of Googles's global drop-in coaching program, Career Guru.

“We all have room to be so much more intentional about calendar design,” shares Jenny Blake, podcast host and author. Her newest book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, emphasizes ways business owners can implement smarter systems powered by Delightfully Tiny Teams. Jenny's mission is to help save not only business owners' time, but everyone involved in the business. It can be a real challenge for entrepreneurs to build free time into their schedules. This is especially true in the beginning when they tend to be wearing many hats and when they may not have all their systems in place yet. Studies have shown that while doing everything by yourself can lead to burnout, having too large of a team to manage can also cause difficulties. Jenny explains that there is a sort of ‘Goldilocks' team size that will differ based on the preferences of the business owner and the type of business they are running. By designing scalability and recurring revenue streams into your business model and delegating tasks outside of your zone of genius to others, you will find that you have more free time available.Time is an incredibly important and precious resource. When you can gift yourself back free time to spend with yourself or your loved ones, you will be happier in your business and less likely to burn out. Quotes“In terms of free time, I also want to help save business owners time of having to document really useful ways to work to set everybody's time free, not just the owner, but everybody who's a part of it, and do it in a way that's heart based.” (2:41-2:55 | Jenny)“The goal is for every area of the business, really look at the stuff that you love and want to do and are great at doing. And then sometimes you have to take that big leap and invest more than you think or more than you're ready to offload it to somebody who knows what they're doing more than you.” (18:01-18:15 | Jenny) “We all have room to be so much more intentional about calendar design.” (19:37-19:41 | Jenny) “I really do encourage you to have at least one other person working in the business.” (25:30-25:33 | Jenny)LinksConnect with Welcome to ElomaInstagram: @welcometoelomaWebsite: WelcometoEloma.comWeekly Email Newsletter: bit.ly/RIXEmail Connect with Jenny BlakeWebsite: Itsfreetime.comWebsite: pivotmethod.comConnect with KileySocial: @kileypeters + Linkedin.com/in/kileypetersWebsites: RAYNEIX.com , BrainchildStudios.com, KileyPeters.comWeekly Email Newsletter: bit.ly/RIXEmailEmail: info@rayneix.com

Before Jenny Blake started her business, she didn't feel like she had the authority to speak to others about her passion, business, because she didn't have a “successful” $1M company under her belt. When Jenny finally leaned on her intuition and gave herself permission to speak about business publicly, she discovered her unique view on systems and operational efficiency propelled her to success. Since then, she's learned that leading with intuition is one of her greatest strengths. The New York-based international keynote speaker and “solo'plus'preneur” is the author of the award-winning book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, and host of the Free Time podcast. Jenny teaches heart-based business owners how to build a business with ease and joy for all involved, not just for the owner at the expense of the employees. Listen as she explains why she believes not just in high-net-worth but in high-net-freedom and why the hard work is aligning ourselves and designing the systems to free up our time productively. ---- Follow Jenny on Instagram and check out her website to get all of the Free Time goodies! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do we really all have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé? That's our tongue-in-cheek title, pulled from Tara McMullin's new book, What Works: A Comprehensive Framework to Change the Way We Approach Goal Setting, for a recent Spotify Live conversation. In this replay, Charlie Gilkey, Tara McMullin, and I explore the nuances of calculating time, money, and energy capacity so that we don't tip into boredom or burnout. We share strategies for saying no, and discuss the costs of saying yes when we shouldn't. One caveat: pardon our less-than-perfect audio quality! Because we're calling in via mobile, this one is a little rougher around the edges than typical episodes.

We have all heard the term 'quiet quitting' circulating online. Before it was trendy, Jenny Blake referred to it as 'quietly unsubscribing from burnout.' From a young age, Jenny found herself promoted or exceeding expectations professionally, which always led to burnout. So the decision to work sustainably, setting aside the fears of being fired if she didn't give 200% at all times, led her to pivot again and again until she figured out her secret recipe for success. In her new book Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business, Jenny teaches that it's not about working as little as possible. Nor is it about creating a lifestyle business purely for one's own gain. It is about creating a life-giving business that energizes everyone who is a part of it, from the owner to team members, clients, and the community. Free Time is about making small investments now to create greater optionality in the future. It's a playbook to free your mind, time, and team for your best work. This book will teach you and your team to operate efficiently and intuitively while earning abundantly, so you can make your greatest contribution as a business owner. You'll learn much from Jenny's philosophy, even if you're not a business owner. In this episode, Jenny shares how to go from friction to flow in all areas of your life, how micro guilt and focusing on what you should have done is not benefiting you, and so much more!

When we're constantly drowning in busy work – or tasks that don't light us up – it's impossible to create at the highest level. All of us want to share our gifts and talents with the world, but it's hard to do when our time gets splintered in ways that don't align.   In today's episode, I talk with systems expert and writer Jenny Blake about her award-winning book: Free Time: Lose the Busy Work. Jenny loves helping people move from friction to flow through practices that free your mind and time for your best work. Jenny shares with us why high net freedom is more important than high net worth, and how to identify and release your biggest friction points. Additionally, we discuss how to let go of things that are draining you, nonlinear breakthroughs and the different versions of hard work.   We would love to know what strategies you'll try out for shifting from friction to flow.   Share today's episode on Instagram and be sure to tag us - @jennyblakenyc  and @whitneywoman!   Here's what to look forward to in today's episode:   -The shift in Jenny's perspective on productivity -Giving yourself permission to take time for yourself and to add in buffer time to your day -Why high net freedom is more important than high net worth -Practices for identifying and releasing your biggest places of friction -What's joyful for you and then how can you solve for the rest? -The 70/20/10 Rule explained -How to let go of things that are draining you -Two cake baking scenarios that can be related to how you show up -Using nonlinear breakthroughs to be open to next steps -How living life on serendipity can lead to huge breakthroughs -Lowercase hard work vs. uppercase hard work   Connect with Jenny: IG: @jennyblakenyc Book: Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business Websites: http://itsfreetime.com/ and http://pivotmethod.com/ Free Time Toolkit: http://itsfreetime.com/toolkit Podcasts: Free Time with Jenny Blake and Pivot with Jenny Blake   Connect with Whitney: IG: @whitneywoman Website: www.myelectricideas.com

But what if you're trying to pivot into a new field and you need to carve out time to learn?

This week's Say Yes to Holiness podcast 1:1 Conversation is with Jenny Blake--an award-winning author and podcaster who loves helping people move from friction to flow so that they can free the time they need to be able to do their best work. This podcast was a special treat for me (and therefore a little longer than usual!) as Jenny Blake has been one of my mentors over the course of the last five years, especially by her own example of how it is possible to live a life that prioritizes what truly matters, do work to help others, and become your best self in the process. Jenny and I spoke about her love for helping others; her life with her husband and "fur-baby" in Manhattan; and also about how her fascination for strategies that help to navigate change and the exploration of systems at the intersection of mind, body, and business have led her on an unexpected journey filled with passion, joy and tons of opportunities to make the lives of others better. Her journey has led her to now write three books, Life After College, Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, and most recently, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business. We spoke about how time isn't money, but rather is life force. And how it's possible to go from burned-out bottleneck and Chief Everything Officer to working with joy and ease, through the power of Delightfully Tiny Teams® and using the Free Time Framework of Align-Design-Assign. But we also spoke about how to be fully present every day, build bridges and continuous discern how we can pause and ask how we can not just do our best work, but also become our best selves. I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Jenny as much as I did in having it, especially so you can continue to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to free your time and experience the life you were created for.

She's going to give you solid advice on how you can avoid overwork, burnout and run your business and your life with a lot more joy. Her mission? To set 50 million hours free through smarter systems. Companies often do a great job at attracting the best and brightest employees, Jenny says, but not keeping them learning and growing and engaged. Inevitably, boredom sets in. You can have all these brilliant people working in intense environments that can lead to burnout. They are short on time to do their work, Jenny continues, and they're also short on creative expression within that corporate context.Many business owners, too, especially small ones, carry the weight of what Jenny calls the Burdensome Bs: 1) bottlenecked, 2) bored, and 3) burned out. And news flash about the myth of hard work for business owners: There's no reward for doing “all the work” other than burnout.You can change that narrative. Running a business does not have to be so hard, or stressful, or overwhelming. Strategic shifts can move any business's operating zone from friction to flow. Wherever you encounter excessive friction, apply the Align-Design-Assign process.Revamping systems and processes also leads you to the real prize: time. Time is not money, time is life force."Time is far more precious than money," Jenny says. "We should be far more considerate with how we're spending our time, who we want to spend it with, how present we are when we are choosing our activities and the people that we're with.”You're going to get a lot of smart business and life tips from this episode and Jenny's book, “Free Time.” Here are some how-tos:Time block and bake in batches—starting with blocking your calendar one year out for deep work daysIdentify the DNA of projects, meaning how you bake is as important as what you makeStructure Delightfully Tiny Teams for maximum flexibilityEstablish a Fiji Test where each team member continually makes themselves replaceable every dayAchieve escape velocity through smarter systems and doubling what you delegateSolve for Sisyphean Systems and the crush of the inbound (i.e., email, social media, questions from your team)Avoid Franken-stringing software while still developing stronger techtuitionCultivate nonlinear breakthroughs through intuition, serendipity and surrenderReach for high net freedom versus solely emphasizing high net worthAnd much more!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What role does delegating play into your business growth? Why should you consider delegating, how do you choose what to delegate, and who to assign a specific task? Co-hosts Hannah Robinson and Melissa Honan discuss the art of delegating for your bookkeeping business. [0:28] The topic of today's episode, delegating in your business, is something Hannah believes many business owners could benefit from learning more about. [1:19] Hannah asks Melissa at what stage of her journey she said to herself ‘Alright, it's time to delegate'. Melissa started delegating right from the very beginning. She explains why people don't delegate and the message you're sending others if you aren't delegating. [6:01] ‘What are some good reasons people should delegate?' Hannah asks Melissa. Melissa makes it clear: ‘If you get to the point where you are overwhelmed and can't do everything yourself, you've gone too far. You should have delegated sooner.' And this doesn't only apply to your professional life, but to your personal life too – as a working mom, you can't do it all by yourself. [10:29] For Hannah, learning how to delegate isn't just something that can help you grow your business, but it's something that improves your overall quality of [12:49] What should people do to make their life easier? According to Melissa, an audit of your personal life, since it's so intertwined with your business life. [13:58] Do we work better when we're under supervision? Melissa shares a statistic that illustrates the fact that people working from home are 47% more productive. They work and perform better when they're given trust. Both Melissa and Hannah agree, and share their experiences. [20:24] Which areas should you focus on delegating? It comes down to a few “categories”: tiny, tedious, time-consuming, terrible, and time-sensitive. [24:31] What are the traits of a great leader, according to Hannah? It definitely is about understanding the importance of delegating – and actually delegating – but also about being able to take constructive criticism. [27:03] How do you decide who to delegate a task to? It starts with doing a task audit, as career and business strategist Jenny Blake recommends. Melissa starts by looking at the order in which to delegate – she begins with prioritizing time-sensitive tasks, but also looks at tasks that, if delegated, would free up the most time. Then, she asks herself, ‘Is the right person to deal with this task already on my team?' [29:37] For Melissa, asking herself ‘How do I know whether a team member is the right person to assign a task to?' has been the hardest question. When asking herself this question years ago, she realized that her team wasn't made of the right people. [32:33] Has outsourcing been helpful for Melissa's business? Yes it has, particularly in regards to outsourcing social media, since it didn't come naturally to any of Melissa's team members. [33:26] What are some important questions to ask yourself if you're considering outsourcing? For Melissa, the list includes questions such as: ‘Is this a task for one person or a team?' ‘Am I hiring for one task or a full role?' ‘Are my processes for this task documented?' ‘Do I have the time to train the new employee on the items I'd like to delegate?' ‘Do I even have an idea of what it is I'd like them to do, and is it documented?' [35:47] Hannah asks Melissa how she has gone about keeping her task delegation process going effectively. According to Melissa, achieving buy-in is key. And clarifying what success means will help with that. [42:24] Melissa touches upon a struggle she has when it comes to her role as leader.     Mentioned in this episode: Jenny Blake's 3rd book Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business BKX Conference 2022 success@ilovebookkeeping.com

Welcome to an encore episode! There is no one else I'd “open up” the podcast for, than the one and only, Jenny Blake. I shared this interview with the Booked Out Facilitator group, and I think it's the perfect conversation to share with you today, as we close off the year and look to scheme + dream what we work on in 2022.This is the first interview Jenny has done to promote her fabulous (and much-needed) new book, Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love your Business. It's a playbook to free your mind, time, and team for your best work. It is an invitation to reimagine how you run your business.I want to share an excerpt about her book, so you get a sense of what you're in for in today's chat:“Your time is far more precious than money.  It is your presence, your memories, your quality of life. For many, growth fuelled by added stress is not worth the tradeoff. You have an urge to simplify and streamline.  Ask yourself: are you consistently doing the work that you and only you can do? If you are burdened by busywork, the bottleneck in the way of your company's profit and potential, this book is for you."  In this conversation, we also talk about choosing your niche, and how to build a business without social media. Jenny also takes us behind the scenes and shares how she uses Notion to capture and curate her ideas.After you listen, ask yourself this question: “What do you need a permission to do?”Jenny Blake is an author, podcaster, and keynote speaker who loves helping business owners move from friction to flow through smarter systems, powered by Delightfully Tiny Teams.

Thank you for your patience as I've been in deep work hibernation mode behind the scenes! I launched my new podcast Free Time in March of this year, and I'm really excited to bring you a crossover episode, one of the early listener favorites with Cal Newport on his latest book, A World Without Email. I also *just* sent my next book to the printer, which I was honored to have Cal provide a cover blurb for! Free Time: Lose the Busy Work, Love Your Business launches in March of 2022. Cal is not pulling any punches with his latest treatise on how we can combat Hyperactive Hive Mind with smarter systems for communication. Email has become a source of guilt and stress for so many of us — listen in for strategies to reclaim your peace and focus. About Cal Newport: Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University. He is the author of six books, including Deep Work, which argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the modern workplace. His latest, A World Without Email: Reimagining Work in an Age of Communication Overload, is in many ways his magnum opus on the topic of technology and the workplace. Be sure to also check out his podcast, Deep Questions. Key questions: How can you approach email as a process observer (and architect), not a do-er? What people or workflows can you put in place to eliminate email? Where are you still reacting to the Hyperactive Hive Mind? What experiment can you run this week?
