Send us a textWhen assessing project management systems, it's essential to separate standalone, best-of-breed solutions from ERP-integrated modules, as the former are specifically engineered to handle the nuanced demands of project execution without being constrained by the limitations of generalized platforms. True project management tools offer deeper capabilities in areas like collaboration, milestone tracking, and customized reporting—features often absent or underdeveloped in ERP modules. The ideal system also varies based on industry needs; for instance, construction and consulting firms prioritize financial oversight and client billing, while software and marketing teams emphasize timelines, resource allocation, and workflow efficiency. Strategic criteria such as product-market fit, the maturity of the product roadmap, community support, and investor backing further differentiate market leaders, ensuring selected platforms not only meet current operational demands but are also positioned for sustained innovation and growth.In this episode, our host Sam Gupta discusses the top 10 project management systems in 2025. He also discusses several variables that influence the rankings of these project management systems. Finally, he shares the pros and cons of each project management system.Background Soundtrack: Away From You – Mauro SommFor more information on growth strategies for SMBs using ERP and digital transformation, visit our community at wbs. rocks or elevatiq.com.

This Podcast Is Episode 626, And It's About From Chaos To Clarity: The Right Construction Job Management System Running a business involves countless moving parts, which can feel overwhelming. From managing projects and keeping the team on the same page to ensuring profitability. Have you ever sent an email about a critical update only to find that team members missed it? With a job management system, those headaches disappear.    Given the industry's complexity and unique challenges, effective job management is crucial for construction contractors. Managing multiple projects, coordinating teams, tracking budgets, and ensuring timely completion are just a few daily demands. A well-implemented job management system can be a game changer, streamlining operations and improving efficiency.    But how do you know if a job management system is right for you? And if it is, how do you select the one that best suits your needs? Let's break it down. The key benefits of using a Job Management System Investing in a job management system doesn't just make tasks easier—it helps your business thrive. Here are the top benefits of implementing one into your workflow: 1. Centralized Project Management A job management system allows contractors to manage all projects from a single platform. This central hub provides easy access to project timelines, tasks, and milestones, ensuring everyone knows their responsibilities and deadlines. 2. Enhanced Communication Clear communication is vital on construction sites. Job management systems facilitate real-time updates and notifications, reducing the likelihood of miscommunication between team members, subcontractors, and clients. 3. Efficient Resource Allocation Construction projects often require careful scheduling and resource allocation. Job management tools help track materials, labor hours, and equipment, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and reducing downtime on-site.  4. Real-time Reporting and Tracking These systems provide real-time updates on project progress, budget adherence, and timelines. This visibility enables contractors to make informed decisions and adjustments as needed, minimizing delays and cost overruns. 5. Financial Management Keeping construction projects within budget is critical. Job management systems help track expenses against budgets, providing insights into profit margins and alerting contractors to any financial discrepancies before they escalate. 6. Compliance and Documentation The construction industry is heavily regulated, and keeping track of permits, safety regulations, and compliance documents can be overwhelming. A job management system helps streamline this documentation, ensuring everything is up-to-date and easily accessible. How to Choose the Right Job Management System for Construction Contractors   1. Focus on your business needs Ask yourself, "What are my top priorities right now?" You may need better tracking for resource allocation. Your focus may be on speed or improving client communication. Write down what matters most—this will guide your decision. Determine your key requirements as a construction contractor. Consider factors like project size, number of team members, and specific functionalities you need, such as scheduling, budget tracking, or safety compliance. 2. Consider your budget Some systems offer all the bells and whistles, but they may strain your budget. Be realistic about what you're willing to spend. Remember, it's okay to focus on features that align with your goals and accept trade-offs for secondary needs. While investing in a robust solution is essential, ensure you find one that offers the features you need without overspending. 3. Understand your team and client needs Your team will use the system daily; in some cases, so will your clients. Choose intuitive and user-friendly software, especially if your team or clients have varying levels of comfort with technology. Given the diverse tech proficiency of team members, a user-friendly interface can enhance adoption and minimize training time. 4. Evaluate core strengths Every job management system has strengths. Some excel in scheduling and resource management, while others shine in reporting or integration with other apps. Research each tool's strengths and match them with your specific demands. Evaluate features tailored specifically for construction, such as Gantt charts for scheduling, bid management, and mobile accessibility for on-site updates. 5. Think beyond your industry Focusing on software marketed exclusively to your industry is tempting, but don't limit yourself. Tools designed for other sectors often have features that better align with your company's unique needs. Broaden your search to explore all options. Opt for a system that integrates well with other software you're using, such as accounting tools or design software. This can streamline processes and maintain data consistency across platforms. 6. Plan for implementation Even the best systems won't work unless they're properly implemented. Consider how much time and effort it will take to onboard your team, migrate data, and integrate the software into your operations. Look for providers that offer support or training to make this process smooth. Consider providers that offer solid customer support and training resources. Transitioning to a new job management system requires time and effort, so having assistance available can ensure a smoother onboarding process. Final thoughts A job management system can transform your business, helping you work smarter, not harder. It fosters better teamwork, provides real-time insights, and saves you from labor-intensive manual work—all while keeping your bottom line in check. A robust job management system can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of construction contractors. These tools can facilitate better project outcomes and increased profitability by providing streamlined communication, real-time data, and improved resource management. When selecting a system, focus on your specific needs, budget constraints, and the usability for your team. With the right job management solution, construction contractors can minimize chaos and focus on delivering quality results more efficiently. The right choice isn't solely about features; it's about finding something that aligns with your goals and empowers everyone, the team, and clients, to succeed.

ISO consultancy isn't a field many aspire to enter, mostly because many don't know it exists until you're tasked with either managing an existing ISO Management System or implementing a brand new one.  We're continuing with our latest mini-series where we introduce members of our team, to explore how they fell into the world of ISO and discuss the common challenges they face while helping clients achieve ISO certification.   In this episode we introduce Sarah Ball, a Senior Isologist® at Blackmores, to learn about her journey towards becoming an ISO Consultant and what drives her to help clients on their ISO journey.   You'll learn ·      What is Sarah's role at Blackmores? ·      What does Sarah enjoy outside of consultancy? ·      What path did Sarah take to become an ISO Consultant? ·      What is the biggest challenge she's faced when implementing ISO Standards? ·      What is Sarah's biggest achievement?   Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      Productivity Ninja   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – We introduce Sarah Ball, a Senior Isologist® here at Blackmores, to discuss her journey towards becoming an ISO consultant who specialises in ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001. [03:45] What is Sarah's role at Blackmores? Sarah is a Senior Isologist® with Blackmores, supporting companies with maintaining systems, undertaking internal audits, and supporting with implementing new systems to gain certification utilising our Isology methodology. Sarah also coordinates the development of content of our online learning platform, the isologyhub. [04:50] What does Sarah enjoy doing outside of consultancy?: Sarah has a keen interest in history, having studied it at school, she like to travel to various locations of historical interest. She also spends a lot of time researching her own family tree, learning as much as she can about the far reaching members of the past. Sarah also likes to go jogging outside, as the gym environment didn't inspire much enjoyment, she instead prefers to be in nature while exercising. She has also participated in long distance running for charity, completing the 10k Race for Life. She's taking on the more daunting muddy 5K version this year, which includes a number of obstacles, so we're wishing her luck! One of the new hobbies she's like to take up this year include mountain climbing, with Mount Snowdon on her to-do list. [06:35] What was Sarah's path towards becoming an ISO Consultant?: Sarah initially started in Customer Services, working as a customer service advisor in a company and then got promoted to manager of a team. At that point, her role became more about understanding why they were getting certain complaints and what could be done to prevent them happening rather than just resolving them. She ended up spending more time with suppliers and other departments to help prevent some of the recurring issues, and along the line it lead onto being asked to implement an ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Which was a tall request considering the fact that at the time, Sarah knew nothing about ISO 9001 outside of it's designation and area of focus. As a result, she spent a lot of time researching it, and had the help of an external consultant to Implement the Management System. This was necessary, as knowing how to apply it to a business was something that she needed support with. 2 years later, the company asked Sarah to implement an ISO 45001 Health & Safety management system and an ISO 14001 environmental management system. These two she implemented herself after getting a feel for it during the initial quality management system implementation. For the next 10 years, Sarah worked in other companies, assisting with their integrated management systems. Along the way, she also picked up on ISO 27001 Information Security, before landing in Blackmores in 2020. [09:10] A path people fall onto – Most people don't actively plan to get into ISO consultancy, it's usually a result of being tasked with managing or implementing a management system while working in another role.  [10:10] What is Sarah's favourite aspect of being a Consultant? – Sarah enjoys the variety, not just in the work and tasks but in the companies and industries that she gets to work with. Each have their own way of working, unique approaches and knowledge nuggets in the form of ways of working that can be cherry picked and applied elsewhere. She also likes to see how a management system develops and evolves overtime and how it can become part of a company's success, driving continual improvement. Sarah enjoys working with people that can see the real benefits of ISO management systems, rather than just focusing on the certificate on the wall. [13:40] Making a Management System your own – Sarah is a big proponent of making a Management system your own, giving it an identity so that it can be fully integrated into the way a business works. Businesses do it all the time, usually by naming large projects that everyone can reference by a common shorthand. A Management System can work in the same way, making it a part of the day-to-day running of the business. She's also a fan of not worrying about the terminology in Standards. Many of the terms used are meant to be general, this was due to the way international audiences referred to certain aspects of management, it wouldn't always translate correctly. So many Standards have some admittedly awkward terminology that can be applied to any business, and you by no means have to use their wording, as long as you can explain what relates to what in an audit then you're free to name things as appropriate to you.   [16:55] What Standards does Sarah specilaise in and why? Starting with: ·      ISO 9001 Quality: This is the main standard that Sarah starting working with, and is one that touches on a lot of areas within other Standards. It's a great base to build off of, and is the starting point for many venturing into the world of ISO. ·      ISO 14001 Environmental: Sarah got experience with this Standard at her first company, it's also commonly implemented alongside ISO 9001.   ·      ISO 45001 Health & Safety: Another one of the first Standards Sarah implemented, it's also a common one to see in integrated management systems.   ·      ISO 27001 Information Security: Sarah got to grips with this Standard through years of working with other companies. Sarah's favourite Standard is ISO 9001, not only because it was her first experience with implementing ISO Standards, but because it create a blueprint for success. ISO Standards are setting the minimum requirement, not the maximum, they are designed get you started so you can make continual improvements. It also acts as a foundation to build onto, you can pick aspects of other Standards to integrate into your existing system. You don't necessarily have to certify to those additional Standards, but nothing is stopping you from strengthening your Management System with the best bits from other ISO's. [21:00] Sarah's favourite clause in ISO 9001: Sarah personally favors Clause 10 – non-conformity and corrective action. The reason behind that choice is due to that clauses' importance in driving continual improvement. It's about taking something negative being turned into a positive, which is what Quality Management is at it's core. [22:05] What is the biggest challenge Sarah had faced during a project and how did he overcome it?: Molding the Standard to the business. As a consultant, the biggest challenge is understanding how to make the requirements of a Standard fit the business, and not the other way round. It's all about trying to align the ISO Standard requirements to their values and mission, and then getting people on board with understanding the true benefits of management system implementation. At Blackmores, we ensure that each management system is unique to each business. We don't operate with a copy paste model. This is another reason why Sarah encourages naming your management system, by branding it you encourage engagement. Sarah highlights the fact that we run a lot of workshops in the initial part of a project, conducting a Gap Analysis, SWOT and PESTLE ect, this helps our consultants to really get a feel for how a business ticks. From that, we can help steer the delivery of the Management System to the wider business, by building it into their existing tools, such as an intranet. [25:45] Leading by example: We revamped our own ISO 9001 Management System a few years ago, with both Rachel Churchman and Sarah Ball leading the refresh. We gave it a name, H20 (How 2 Operate) and integrated it with our Microsoft Teams channels as we'd all swapped to mostly remote work following the COVID pandemic in 2020. As Sarah points out, there are many different ways to display and deliver your management system, including: ·      Microsoft Teams ·      Intranet ·      Google / Google Drive ·      SharePoint ·      CRM's such as Monday.com The key is building it into the day-to-day tools everyone uses. Make the Management System part of your processes, so adhering and maintaining it becomes part of everyone's way of working. [28:55] What is Sarah's proudest achievement? Obtaining her degree through the Open University while still working full time. It took Sarah 8 years of hard work to obtain her honours degree in History, which was one not required by her work or career development. It was simply something she wanted to do to prove to herself that she could achieve it. Many other members of Blackmores can attest to Sarah's level of determination, and organisation, as she shares many tips and techniques learned from her years of study and work. This includes: The Productivity Ninja – Learned from Graham Allcott's book, which seeks to help reduce procrastination, and tackle tasks with efficiency. The Second Brain – A tool to help keep track of ideas / tasks that aren't an immediate priority. These tools are now used by a number of the team, and we have no doubt Sarah will be schooling us on more techniques in future.

AI “might be the salvation to humankind, or the opposite, as some fear”, says Lars Riisberg, CEO of Rina Digital Solutions, in this Lloyd's List podcast. Today, with large language models such as ChatGPT giving the general public some understanding of AI's capabilities, he says that AI “will surely change the way we work dramatically”. During his career devoted to data and its application that goes back to his university thesis in 1989, which looked at using AI in the automation industry, Riisberg has developed a positive outlook about AI. He is confident that, for shipping, it will have a positive effect on many current objectives, including decarbonisation, compliance and safety. In his opinion, digitalisation and the use of AI will help shipping's decarbonisation agenda and general operational efficiency. In particular, “the establishment, verification and use of management systems are spot on for use of AI,” he says. Yet all these benefits rely on data and one of his podcast themes revolves around how AI itself can be used to ensure that data is gathered in reliable ways. He listed some key data sources and acknowledged that “they all have their challenges when it comes to quality.” In his podcast, Riisberg mentions some practical instances where he believes AI can make a positive change, for example by using it to guide crew in how they carry out and report tasks. At an operational scale, he said that AI is already being used to establish reference performance standards in different sea states and to highlight deviations in fuel consumption compared to those standards and alert the crew. He also provided examples of where AI can be applied to management tasks but said that Rina's experience has given some insights into the pitfalls of AI. “AI is generally very ‘polite' and will try to come up with an answer… even when there is no good answer to a question,” he said, so “you will still have to be able to evaluate the answers and take your own personal judgement of the correctness of the answers.” Looking ahead, he predicted that it will become possible to interrogate data and written material by speaking to it through an AI interface and concluded “being able to ask questions about technically structured data… will be a new focus area for AI in the coming years.”

A well implemented ISO Management System can improve efficiency, customer satisfaction and drive continual improvement for a business. On the flip side, a poorly implemented Management system will yield little to no results, so what makes the biggest difference between good and bad implementation?  Communication is the key. If no one knows about your Management System, then how can it benefit the business as a whole? In this episode Ian Battersby discusses the importance of effective communication of your Management System, why it's vital to reap the full benefits of ISO Implementation and gives some examples of how you can communicate elements of your Management system to the wider business. You'll learn ·      Why do you need to communicate your management system? ·      What do you need to communicate? ·      Why is it important to communicate your Management system? ·      Different ways you can communicate your management system ·      How can you measure effective communication?   Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      How can ISO Standards Support ESG Compliance Workshop   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – Ian talks discusses elements of communicating a management system including, why you need to communicate and what needs to be communicated, the importance of doing so and how you can go about doing it. [02:45] Why do you need to communicate your Management System? In every ISO Standard, communication is a requirement. The levels and information specified will vary depending on the Standard, but the principles remain consistent. Ian cites ISO 9004 as providing further guidance to improve on what's initially required. In Clause 7.4 it states: “The effective communication of policies, strategy, relevant objectives is essential to the sustained success of an organisation.” Going on to state that communication should be “Meaningful, timely and continual” and that there should be some form of feedback within it to be able to address changes in the organisation's context. So, it's not just a one time exercise. It also states that: “communication processes should be both vertical and horizontal and be tailored to the differing needs of its recipients, whether internal or external.” So you also need to consider the external communication needs too. [04:35] Empowering through communication: ISO 9004 also talks about engaged, empowered and motivated people and their value as a key resource. These types of people help organisations to create and deliver value, so you should have processes in place for engaging those people, to gather feedback and drive continual improvement. [05:40] Where is Communication referenced in Standards?: Typically, communication is Clause 7.4 in most ISO Standards. Additionally there are elements of communication included in Clause 7.3. Awareness. The Awareness clause focuses on employees knowledge of the Management System, and is more focused on internal communications rather than with external interested parties. [06:25] What should be communicated internally? Under Clause 7.3 Awareness, it requires you to share: ·      Policies ·      Objectives ·      The consequences of non-conformance Other Standards may have additional communication requirements such as ISO 45001, which also highlights the need to share risks, hazards, incidents and the outcomes of investigations.   [07:10] Clause 7.4 Communication – This clause is more about determining internal and external communications. This includes considerations for: ·      What communications are relevant? ·      When should they be communicated? ·      Who should they be communicated to? ·      Who should be the one to communicate this information? Some Standards may also include specifications for communicating legal requirements, such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. [08:20] Nuance in effective communication:  One key element of communication is ensuring that it's understood and applied by the wider business. This doesn't mean that every employee should be able to parrot a specific policy within a business, but rather they should at least know where to find it and understand the implications for them. [09:40] A link between Communication and Leadership: Leadership plays a key role in communications, and ISO Standards specify that certain elements can't be delegated to another individual. Clause 5 Leadership specifically states: ·      They shall promote the use of the process approach and risk-based thinking, not delegating that promotion. ·      They should communicate to the importance of the management system and of conforming to that management system. ·      They should engage directly and support persons to contribute to the effectiveness of the system. ·      They should promote continual improvement. ·      They should support other relevant managers to demonstrate their leadership in their areas of responsibility. We've stressed the importance of Leadership in the success of a Management System in a previous episode, and their support with communication is a big part of that. [11:20] Communicating Objectives: Clause 6.2 Objectives states that they must be established and communicated. This doesn't have to be to everyone, so you can be selective and communicate certain objectives relevant to select people. [11:40] How to effectively communicate your management system  – Management systems can be vast, and it can be tricky to know exactly how much to communicate and to who. The first tip is to keep it simple. Translate the ‘Standard speak' into something recognisable for your business, which may not always be easy if you're familiar with the Standards terminology. However you need to relate these elements to how people in the business work. Try to keep it brief to avoid confusion. Next, ensure you are assuaging fears. Many are firstly opposed to the introduction of things like Operational Procedures if they've not worked with a Management System in place previously. However, all this is in practice is a written format for how they work, it shouldn't drastically change the way in which they work. Make sure they know this and describe what elements will change i.e. documentation updates. Lastly, they need awareness of the consequences of non-conformance and the need to look for opportunities to improve. [15:25] Communicating Policies – This is a part of all ISO Standards, a Policy can't just be hidden away in a rarely visited folder. A Policy communicates the intent of top management in an organisation, and is something that should be communicated to everyone, which could include external parties. So, you should try to keep this concise. On one page ideally. As long as you've encompassed the vision, values, strategy and top management commitment, and for certain standards a commitment to legal requirements, then you will meet an ISO Standards requirements. Some businesses like to include links to all their procedures within a policy, which by all means, you can, but don't expect people to read a 48 page policy and understand it enough to apply to their daily working lives.   [17:00] How can you communicate your Management System? – One key objective of communication is to ensure people understand and apply what's being communicated. To help achieve this, you may want to use multiple methods of communication, including: ·      Feedback options on content i.e. a yes or no check / options to provide feedback ·      Training sessions ·      Intranet page – quick links to relevant content such as policies or audit findings ·      Regular briefings ·      Notice boards ·      Electronic displays ·      Company briefs ·      Team meetings [20:25] How can you measure effective communication? There's a lot of ways you can assess this, including: ·      E-mail voting – to clarify when people have read specific documents ·      LMS Systems ·      Through SharePoint systems ·      Conduct surveys ·      During Internal Audits All of these can be used as methods of feedback where you can identify further opportunities for improvement from various levels of the business. [21:35] When should you consider external communications? – Clause 4.2 is where you're required to consider the needs and expectations of interested parties. When going through an anaylsis of these interested parties, you determine what they expect out of your Management System. Standards don't specify the need to write a communication plan, but they do say who's going to communicate what to whom, including how and when. In combination with that analysis of interested parties, it creates a solid basis for an effective communications plan. Again, some discretion will be required as not every external party will need to be privy to your internal policies and procedures. Just communicate what's relevant to them.

Topics:5-Element Hiring FrameworkHiring for Attributes vs. ExperienceMoneyball Thinking for Smart Hiring...and so much more.Top TakeawaysWhat happens when you work and lead with passion?Vern and Michael emphasize that passion is crucial for both business success and leadership. Passion keeps teams committed through challenges and drives both personal and professional growth. For leaders, it means embracing a growth mindset, being open to feedback, and fostering team development. Passion is just one element in Vern's hiring framework—and a key predictor of success.Scorecards help you hire without the guesswork. Hiring practices often rely on gut feelings, making them prone to bias. Michael advocates using scorecards with measurable criteria like technical skills, cultural fit, and soft skills, along with clear performance expectations. This approach makes it easier to assess candidates objectively and sets the stage for accountability. When new hires understand what's expected, they can focus on the right things to succeed in the role. When paying more helps small businesses scale faster. Vern and Jordan acknowledge that small and medium-sized businesses often hesitate to offer higher salaries. But hiring top-tier talent for critical roles is an investment in expertise that can drive results quickly. This aligns with Michael's Moneyball approach to hiring. Just as the Moneyball thinking in baseball focuses on overlooked metrics to build a winning team, in business, the idea is to invest in key roles that might be costly upfront but will have outsized returns over time.About Vern DavenportVern Davenport is a partner at QHP Capital, a growth equity firm focused on healthcare, life sciences, and technology.

Topics:How to Free Up Leadership BandwidthThe Power of Mission, Vision & ValuesPitfalls in Implementing The Management System...and so much more.Top TakeawaysWant more freedom? Get more structure and discipline. Many founders resist structure, fearing it will slow them down. In reality, a well-defined system brings clarity, accountability, and autonomy. As an SMB founder, Michael knows firsthand that clear roles and a problem-solving framework allow companies to move faster and focus on growth instead of firefighting. Vern describes The Management System as liberating. It removes dysfunction and unnecessary complexity, creating an environment where talented people can thrive.Middle management is the backbone of scalable companies. Great companies scale by empowering middle management, not by keeping decisions at the top. The Management System ensures that middle managers understand the bigger vision, their role in achieving it, and how their success is measured. And if someone resists this level of accountability and transparency, the system reveals it fast. Efficient teams track fewer metrics—and get more done. Vern suggests ditching 50-slide reports for clear, actionable tools. Tracking sheets keep teams focused on 10 or fewer key metrics—green means you're on track, red means it's time to act. Tools like the A3 condense problem-solving into a one-page plan outlining the issue, root cause, and next steps. With these tools, teams leave meetings not just informed, but aligned and ready to execute.Teamwork makes the dream work. Podcasts and books often highlight solo journeys to success, but Michael emphasizes that true success comes when a team unites for something bigger than themselves. What matters more than personal wins is a shared mission and a willingness to support each other through the highs and lows. When a group shares that purpose, success follows naturally.Recommended Reads from This Episode“Accelerating Growth” by Vern Davenport: Unpacks how a structured system can help companies scale by improving execution, accountability, and leadership alignment.“Getting the Right Things Done” by Pascal Dennis: Teaches how to apply lean management principles to eliminate inefficiencies.“The Founder's Dilemma” by Noam Wasserman (Harvard Business Review article): Explores the trade-off between control and financial success that founders face as they scale.About Vern DavenportVern Davenport is a partner at QHP Capital, a growth equity firm focused on tech-enabled life sciences and pharma services.

In episode 657, Megan chats to Kara Myers about how to organize and automate your blogging business for success in 2025. Kara is the recipe developer, photographer, and voice behind Sweetly Splendid, where she shares comforting Southern and Tex-Mex recipes. She is a 6th-generation Texan and has a passion for nostalgic flavors that bring people together. Her work has been featured in outlets like Woman's World and Food & Wine. She is a seasoned entrepreneur with multiple successful businesses, and specializes in helping others streamline their workflows and build efficient processes. Kara likes to use the approach of combining real-world experience with actionable insights for creators looking to grow and thrive. When she's not working, Kara loves camping, reading, and spending time with her daughter and dogs. In this episode, you'll learn actionable strategies for streamlining workflows, implementing project management systems, and creating a sustainable approach to blogging. Key points discussed include: - Your brain is not a project management system: Storing everything in one place frees up mental space and increases productivity. - A time audit reveals hidden inefficiencies: Track your tasks for a week to identify bottlenecks and areas that slow you down. - Content planning reduces stress and boosts efficiency: Even planning one month ahead prevents last-minute scrambling and saves time. - Choosing the right project management tool is key: ClickUp, Asana, and Airtable help streamline tasks—pick one that fits how your brain works. - Automations free up valuable time: Tools like Zapier, Wordable, and Finite Analytics handle repetitive tasks so you can focus on growth. - Small organizational changes lead to more revenue: The more systematized your business is, the more time you have to scale and make money. - Break down big goals into actionable steps: Instead of vague yearly goals, set specific, trackable monthly milestones. - Give yourself grace and stay flexible: Life happens—adjust your systems and goals as needed without guilt.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 13:22-30  - Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as He went and making His way to Jerusalem. Someone asked Him, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" He answered them, "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, 'Lord, open the door for us.' He will say to you in reply, 'I do not know where you are from.' And you will say, 'We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.' Then he will say to you, 'I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!' And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out. And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God. For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last." Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Conor Gallagher, Catholic father of sixteen children, on his book: Well-Ordered Family: The Family Management System
