We often dream up our businesses based on a passion or an innate talent, only to realize afterward that we're neck-deep in back-end details for which we're not prepared. Enter Brittany Dixon, organizer extraordinaire. A productivity coach and host of The Productivity Podcast, she is on a mission to help creative business owners work smarter, not harder! On this episode of Teacher Turned Entrepreneur we are learning how Brittany found her calling and the systems she has put in place to support her own successful business – systems she's sharing with others through her group and one-to-one coaching, courses, podcast and growing community. The goal is simple: To create support systems that free us up to stay in the “zone of genius.” You'll learn from Brittany some concrete tips for identifying process breakdowns, optimizing through automation and outsourcing essential functions as you scale. If your entrepreneurial dreams are being slowed down by common stumbling blocks like digital clutter, difficulty with time management or back-end admin processes then this is the conversation for you! It's all about quieting the noise so you can focus on what fuels your best ideas and clearest thoughts. With tools like her BCO Method and ROAD to Scalability, Brittany brings actionable frameworks that will resonate with any entrepreneur tempted to say “yes” to everything only to be left scrambling to keep up with all the moving parts that result! Getting organized needn't be overwhelming, thanks to Brittany's step-by-step approach. “We've got some pretty well-oiled systems in place,” she says, “and once you've got those systems in place you don't need as many people to manage it.” Want to learn more about Brittany and the tools, templates and accountability she provides? Check out this link for her Productivity Community and much more. Click here to listen to, rate and review this or previous Teacher Turned Entrepreneur episodes. Here are key takeaways from the conversation:· Never discount side hustles – whose momentum often turns them into the main event!· Have you identified your Superpower? Everyone has one and it's the natural point of entry for would-be entrepreneurs looking to leverage their innate talents!· Stay focused on the big picture! It's easy to get overwhelmed with the day-to-day, so why not let an expert establish systems and expedite your basic back-end processes?· It's okay to say no. When it comes to our businesses, every opportunity can be exciting but additional, time-consuming back-end management has to be factored in.· Calendar everything! That means family/self-care priorities as well as business imperatives and daily routines that keep the whole life-work enterprise afloat.· Digital Clutter doesn't develop into a problem overnight – nor can it be magically erased! It takes time and a strategy.· Less is More: Having a structure for online folders is important, but keep it simple and manageable. An over-engineered system can defeat the purpose and prevent filing.· Hiring contractors is easier than ever! So consider keeping it simple by outsourcing rather than scaling full-time staff.· Before considering automation, be sure that your processes are operating smoothly. When you automate broken pieces, you're creating broken systems. Here's a quick look into the episode:· As so often is the case, Brittany got active as an entrepreneur after she was let go from her 9-to-5 – “best thing that ever happened.” She was working in the catering and event space with young twin girls when she decided to add a side hustle as a home organizer that in the course of a year turned into her full-time gig.· After reading "Ordinary Superpowers: Unleash the Full Potential of Your Most Natural Talents," Brittany realized that her “little” side hustle had tremendous potential!· From its inception in 2017, Brittany's business has grown exponentially based on her ever deeper understanding of the “back end stuff” that was keeping online businesses, consultants, coaches and others from growing their enterprises.· The kinds of things Brittany helps clients figure out:o Time management.o Productivity.o Email and digital file organization.o Client onboarding.o Assembling and running a team.· Brittany works with her clients via:o Her Productivity Podcast.o Her Productivity Pod community.o Group coaching through her Hustle to Flow program, including materials and group calls.o One-to-one coaching/consulting that pinpoints and overhauls business pain points.· The things that tend to be the biggest client stumbling blocks:o Time management is a consistent baseline issue because of all the moving parts.o Client processes: Ensuring smooth onboarding, offboarding and overall management of relationships. o Digital Clutter: Cutting through the avalanche of data coming in and going out.· Brittany's Top Tips for Mapping Effective Time Management Systems:o Lifestyle By Design: What are your goals for family time? Figure out commitments to kids, spouse, self-care, then put then on the calendar!o Business By Design: You can't say yes to everything. Beyond the things you want to do are all the ancillary functions that also require time and attention – things like marketing, admin, back-end email management require scheduling.o Routines By Design: Establishing personal best practices sets you up for flow and rhythm in all realms. So calendar your priorities, then stick to them!· For Digital Clutter, which is a scourge familiar to all entrepreneurs, Brittany deploys her BCO Framework to manage files, time blocking, strategy and other functions:o Business Development: How you're growing the business.o Client Services: Everything you're providing your customer base.o Operations: All the admin that supports the whole enterprise.· Strategies for cleaning up BCO backlogs and data:o Set up a folder structure and start dragging files where they need to be.o Sort different functions into categories that make the big picture clearer.o Beware: Don't overwhelm yourself with too many sub-file folders!· How Brittany runs her own business:o She has only contractors; not FTEs and no plans to onboard any.o An online business manager keeps Brittany on track with strategy and processes.o A podcast manager takes care of her production and support.o A bookkeeper takes care of accounting.o A booker promotes Brittany's appearances as a podcast guest.· About Brittany's ROAD to Scalability:o Recognize: Evaluate what's working and what isn't.o Optimize: Ensure that systems offer ROI, are standardized and streamlined.o Automation: Are the tasks you do on a routine basis integrated into systems?o Documentation: Keep roadmaps for back-end processes that anyone who joins the team can easily follow or replicate.· Brittany's Recommended Reading:"Ordinary Superpowers: Unleash the Full Potential of Your Most Natural Talents," by Mark Henson.o "The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage," by Mel Robbins.

#79 Every person has ordinary SUPER POWERS! Ordinary superpowers are the abilities, talents, and skills that you already possess that help you contribute the most to your life, the lives of others, and the world around you. Consider them your top two or 3 greatest strengths — the ones that noticeably stand above the rest. One of the challenges of recognizing your "ordinary super powers" is the fact that you have lived with them all of your life so you think that they are "normal" or "common." Mark Henson has written a fascinating book on how to uncover your super powers and how to live a super powered life! Please join Shawn and Jen as they talk with Mark about living a life on purpose, using the gifts and abilities that you possess that are unique to you and coming alongside others. You will learn how to Discover, Activate, Enhance and Multiply your unique gifts and talents! Mark's book is titled "Ordinary Super Powers - Unleash the full potential of your most natural talents." He has generously offered, during the season of Covid-19 restrictions, to send a free copy of his book to anyone that asks for one via his website. You have to pay for shipping, he will send you the book. To uncover your super powers, please visit www.asuperpoweredlife.com.

If you’re a business owner who occasionally – or frequently – takes your team off-site because you want them to think more creatively, work more collaboratively, be more innovative, and possibly even have more fun working, why would you even consider taking them to a beige, boring off-site conference room or meeting space? If you’ve done that, and wondered why they weren’t more creative, collaborative, innovative, or playful, nor was the meeting any more fun or interesting or productive than the ones you’ve held previously in your own conference room… The answer couldn’t me more obvious to Mark Henson, Founder of sparkspace in Columbus, Ohio. It all a couple of decades ago when Mark was working in a design firm. So many who visited the firm noted that they were a bit envious about the fun, funky, colorful space the design team and staff got to work in every day. In fact, some companies actually asked the firm to use their conference rooms for team meetings… It sparked Mark’s thinking that there was opportunity there, and so it began. sparkspace was born in a 900 square foot space that Mark set up to be meeting friendly and tested his idea for a year. It was a tremendous hit and he needed more space sparkspace has expanded several times and today encompasses 10,000 square feet for six different sized- and themed-meeting rooms that are unlike any meeting space you’ve ever been in. But it’s not just about the fun, funky décor and amenities. Mark and his team are truly obsessed with providing exceptional hospitality. “We want our guests to feel truly welcome in our space,” he explained. “Even if this is their very first visit, we want them to feel as if they’ve been there before, they are truly welcome, and we are fully at their service.” This episode touches on the fun and creative nuances in business and moves into other topics including leadership, personal and team development, how important it is to take time to reflect on experiences to extract the depth of the lessons contained within them, and much more. Mark’s Bio Mark Henson is the chief imagination officer of sparkspace, a company that sparks new thinking with its unique conference space and inspirational programs for teams and individuals. After graduating from Oklahoma Christian College with a degree in Mass Communications, Mark worked as a radio personality, marketing director, copywriter, and a brainstorming facilitator for some of the world’s most successful brands. 20 years ago, Mark designed and launched sparkspace as a full-time facility dedicated to helping teams have more meaningful conversations about overcoming challenges, building relationships, and creating better futures. In March of 2017, Mark released his first book, Ordinary Superpowers: Unleash the Full Potential of Your Most Natural Talents. The purpose of the book is to help you discover the talents that create the most positive change in your life, the lives of others, and the world around you. Mark lives in Upper Arlington, Ohio, with his wife, 2 teenagers, and a black cat who rules the whole house.

Anyone who knows Mark would likely agree that he's one of the more upbeat and positive people you'll ever meet — and as the founder and creative force behind sparkspace, he's running one of the coolest places on the planet for creative inspiration, personal development and team building. And that's all Mark wanted to do. Run a business just like that. Until he didn't. Mark opens up about what happens when you lose that spark for the thing you love, how depression can still get its grips on the optimist, and how figuring out what you're good at — and not simply passionate about — is the key to unleashing your ordinary super powers. This is a story of rediscovery and finding that spark again to do your best work — that stuff you were meant to do. We also discover some interesting back history on Mark as he reveals tidbits about his life as as Top 40 radio disc jockey in middle America, with a not-so-middle-America on-air persona.

I’m an old guy, I may not live to see a whole lot more of the changes that are undoubtedly going to happen, but I would sure like to. I try to be an optimist. I’d like to hope that through education and science and clear thinking and good communication we come to sort of a passive understanding of the stuff we need to do – rather than having any ‘conspiracy’ organizations shoving it down everybody’s throats. We can have creativity and BETTER lives, rather than just more and more and more.” This week our guest is visionary artist Mark Henson, whose highly detailed and frequently erotic landscape paintings portray the full spectrum of human experience, our greatest dreams and most disturbing nightmares. Mark’s been a friend and elder to me since we met in 2010 and I was delighted to catch up with him at this year’s Psychedelic Science Conference in Oakland – please excuse the background noise in this recording as you enjoy this festive and far-ranging conversation about art, life, and creativity! Mark's WebsiteMark's Facebook Page TOPICS: - Viewing and making art as time travel. - Will artificial intelligence replace artists? - Can we understand the universe? - Altered sense of time self in dreams and psychedelic experiences. - How technology has crept into our memory and dream lives. - The necessity of Universal Basic Income AND Life Purpose in an automated post-work world. - “The Work” of ayahuasca users and telepathic post-humans (on social media) of being open to the intensity and burden of collective experience. - The importance of an intentional media diet. - How Mark got to collaborate with Jimi Hendrix as a teenager! - Mark’s thoughts on the history and evolving intersection of Street Art, Fine Art, and Live Music. - How different musical styles and intoxicants contribute to different media ecosystems. - How Mark and his stepson almost got one of his paintings into the White House. - Projected art as graffiti and political action; augmented reality graffiti as the future of dissent, and geospatial metadata as a new cyberpunk Wild West – metagraffiti. - Defacing ads and reclaiming public space, a polite How To. - The future of the family. REFERENCES: - The Golden Oecumene Trilogy by John C. Wright - Blood Music by Greg Bear - Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research - The Teafaerie’s Erowid Ibogaine Article - Ayahuasca Coloring Book artist Alexander Ward - Michael’s appearance on Comedy Central’s Problematic with Moshe Kasher - Darwin’s Pharmacy by Richard Doyle QUOTES FROM MARK: “My overall project here is to create impressions of what life was like, in these days…” “By 2000, we were supposed to be flying around in little personal cars and live in a peaceful world where the big issues had been resolved. That didn’t happen, so I’m not going to hold my breath on a Singularity.” “Sometimes I have fairly vivid dreams where, if the dream is strong enough, later on when I’m awake I might confuse that reality with something that happened in my waking moments. Did I dream that, or did that really happen to me ten years ago. What about this little experience? Was that a dream, or…I can’t quite remember. Sometimes that happens to me, and I actually like that, because if I can blur the boundaries between that world and this one, I think it’s more interesting.” “Maybe if the Singularity happens, or Artificial Intelligence gets intelligent enough to be a frustrated, nervous wreck over wanting to express itself to the point of absolute fanaticism where it has to create something new in the world…I would love to see that, actually. See what comes out.” “Do I want to live in a Borg mind where I know what you’re thinking and you know what I’m thinking? No, I do not, because that’ll clog up my thoughts.” “Everybody is radiating self-expression some way or another. It’s one of our basic human desires. How do we not be swamped in all the static? It’s like we’re running 300 radios at one time. It’s hard to listen to one particular song. So somehow we have to filter things out.

Ordinary....Superpowers......What? I know, the term kind of contradicts itself at first, but once you listen to my interview with author Mark Henson it will 100% make sense! You see, we are all given a certain set of abilities, skills, and talents that we totally ROCK at and many times we take them for granted and assume that everyone can do those things just as good as we can, but that isn't the case! These are our ordinary superpowers and this week we are going to learn how to put them to good use! In my interview with Mark Henson (author of the book Ordinary Superpowers) we discuss the following: What lit his fire to bring the ordinary superpowers message to the world? What exactly is an ordinary superpower? A four step test to see if a talent/ability qualifies as an ordinary superpower. How has Mark used his own ordinary superpowers to improve his health and fitness? We talk about my ordinary superpowers and how I apply them to my work and family life. How to apply your ordinary superpowers to get out of a rut.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, it is a good idea to take a break. It's okay to put everything aside for awhile so that you can reevaluate your priorities. Embrace and cherish the moments you have with your children; younger or older, because they will be gone soon. You want to spend as much time as you can with them. Focus on what your really good at. Your unique ability. Embrace the things your good at and let go of the things your not. Events are a great way to get your product/ service out. Bring the people through the door.

Recently, my life fell apart. At least that's how it felt emotionally. From the outside, everything looked great.  I was an in demand speaker, making lots of money, with a lot of projects in the works, and the field of possibility ahead of me. The truth was another matter. My calendar was overscheduled, my time was overcommitted, I had agreed to too many meetings and too many projects, and my health deteriorated dramatically.  Somehow, I had managed to get off track. Way off track. Then I had an epiphany. It didn't instantly solve all my problems, but it did show me the solution to all my problems, and the path I needed to walk to get back on track. Interestingly, I believe this same solution can work for you when you get off track, and I'll share a simple set of steps you can file away from when you need them. Plus, here are some additional reasons to keep listening… One iPhone case to rule them all. Why happiness really is the truth. An update on the “affordable online mastermind”… Announcements: If you enjoy the podcast, I would consider it a great favor if you subscribe (and leave a review) in iTunes. This helps new people discover the show. A big thanks to AmGram, Kevin Anthony Williams,  and Mark Henson for giving us a review on iTunes this week. You can also find the podcast on Stitcher. We are definitely moving forward with the affordable mastermind I've been talking about starting. We are still mapping out the plan for what will be most helpful, but it will probably look something like this: provide some basic training materials on building an online business, and having a monthly Q&A call where you could talk with me. Would love your ideas, thoughts, and suggestions. Put them in the comments at the end of this post. Tip Of The Week  A friend of mine showed me his Speck iPhone Wallet Case, and I was immediately smitten. For a long time I've been using the Duluth Trading Company's Smallet, which is a near-razor-thin wallet that holds only a few cards. But in my search for evermore minimalistic living, it bothered me that I had to carry both a wallet and my iPhone in my pocket. Now, with the new Speck  case, I carry only one item. The challenges it only holds three cards-so right now I'm carrying is my phone, my drivers license, a business debit card, and my personal debit card (because at the Edwards household, we don't do credit cards). There are a few other cards that I normally carry with me-health insurance card, Costco card, Barnes & Noble membership card, library card, etc. So I came up with the very clever idea of simply taking pictures of those cards with my iPhone and keeping them in a special photo album on the phone itself. I'll keep you posted on how this works out. Spiritual Foundations There's a very popular song  with the refrain “clap your hands if you know happiness is the truth.” It just so happens I do know that. As followers of Jesus, we are supposed to be happy. How do I know this? For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17 Feature Segment:  How to Get Back On Track From the outside, everything looked great.  I was an in demand speaker, making lots of money, with a lot of projects in the works, and the field of possibility ahead of me. The truth was another matter. My calendar was overscheduled, my time was overcommitted, I had agreed to too many meetings and too many projects, and my health deteriorated dramatically.  Somehow, I had managed to get off track. Way off track. Then I had an epiphany. It didn't instantly solve all my problems, but it did show me the solution to all my problems, and the path I needed to walk to get back on track. Interestingly, I believe this same solution can work for you when you get off track, and I'll share a simple set of steps you can file away from when you need them. Here's the epiphany: 99% of all the results I'm experiencing in my life are 100% appropriate. Let me elaborate… I weigh exactly what I'm supposed away… based on what I eat and how much I exercise. I get exactly the amount of sleep I should be getting… based on how much caffeine and sugar I consume, what time I eat my evening meal, and how I choose to stimulate or not stimulate my brain in the few hours before going to bed. My income, expenses, and profits for my business are precisely what they should be… based on what work I do, who I choose to work with, how I invest my time in building the business, and the choices I make about expenditures The point I'm trying to make is this: our lives are closed systems. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end. What happens between the beginning and the end is largely up to us. I say that 99% of all of our results are 100% appropriate, in that 1% are things that are actually outside of our control: an unexpected genetic defect causes the disease or deformity, market forces we had no chance of influencing diminish the value of our investments, a tornado demolishes the house we live in, etc. but despite the impression that may be given by the disaster-fascinated media, these events are definitely the minority. We don't get fat because the “big food industry” is out to get us. We get fat because we chose to have a big Mac and a chocolate shake for dinner last night, instead of a salad and a lean steak. This epiphany came to me as a result of reading three books, in succession: Living Buddha Living Christ, by Thich Nhat Hanh,  The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence, and Work the System by Sam Carpenter. Sidebar for my Christian brothers and sisters… …there were many things in Hanh's book I could simply not agree with, and he clearly does not understand fully what it means to be a follower of Christ. I am very clear that Jesus is the only way to heaven and life with the Father. That being said, I found some valuable and powerful truths contained in Han's  the book; but I don't want anyone to be confused about what I believe or what I perceive as the truth. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I will be publishing a full review of Sam Carpenter's book next week. But the primary distinction I got from that book was that all of life is a system; and each part of our lives is a subsystem, consisting of many other subsystems. Take for example your health: is a system contained within your body. Subsystems include the system of what you eat, the system of how you use and maintain the physical framework of your body, the system of what thoughts you permit to enter and remain in your mind, the system of how much rest and sleep you get, the system of the environment in which you keep your body most of the time, etc The point of all this is simply that getting back on track is not about considering a broad sweeping wholesale change in your life. It is about adjusting the component subsystems where you got off track. For instance, when it comes to my speaking schedule, the processes of the system that make up my speaking business are roughly something like this: I write and publish blog posts, podcasts, guest articles, etc. Potential meeting planners, here the podcasts, get a word-of-mouth recommendation about having me speak at your event. Meeting planners contact my office and we negotiate a fee and agreement. I accept the speaking engagement, and get paid my retainer. I show up on the appointed date, give a speech, get the balance of my payment. I go home. What had gone awry in the system of my speaking business over the past few months was that I performed step number 4 too many times and without enough discretion. I said “yes” to far too many people. This resulted in my calendar being overscheduled, and also bled over into the other subsystems of my life, affecting my sleep, and ultimately my physical health. But it gets even more interesting. Because of the squeeze on my schedule, I had to work overtime during the hours I was home to complete client projects, work on my own products and trainings, get my podcast completed, etc. this disrupted the system that I call “family time”. It also disrupted the system that I call “exercise”, and the system that I call “sleep”. In those three cases, I simply didn't get enough family time, exercise, or sleep. So, in its wisdom, my body did what it sometimes does to force me to pay attention to it: it got sick. The implication at the beginning of this podcast was that I did in fact get back on track, that I can show you how to do the same. In the spirit of transparency, I am just now emerging from the rubble of this massive system disruption, but things are much much better, and I realize I have been here before. So I feel relatively confident in helping you in your own quest to get back on track. Here are the steps. 7 Steps For Getting Back on Track First, you must acknowledge that you have gotten off track, and have that same moment of realization that I did that the blueprint you have for what life is supposed to be like does not match the snapshot of what  life actually is like currently. Forget the big picture, look for the simple mechanical problems in the small subsystems of your life that have gone wrong. Isolate and identify those malfunctioning systems and subsystems. Discover the procedures that could've prevented or at least lessened the problem you are currently experiencing in this particular system or subsystem. Write down the new system of procedures you will use to prevent this one small isolated problem Make it easy for yourself to follow your new procedure: remember the metaphor of the elephant, the rider, and the path. Go through this same process with each system or subsystem that is malfunctioning to any degree. When you correct the small variances in the tiniest of subsystems, the next level of systems above becomes smoother and less chaotic, allowing you to move your corrections up one level. Eventually the “big picture” takes care of itself. What I Personally Have Done I identified a few primary systems that needed better working procedures to solve some of the problems that were cropping up. So I developed step-by-step procedures for: Evaluating speaking opportunities. Evaluating possible new projects. Working with junior copywriters. Evaluating possible new clients. Marketing my company's products and services. Selling my company's products and services (yes, this is different than the above). My physical health, diet, and exercise. Simplifying and beautifying my physical environment. I began making adjustments and every one of these systems, and began to instantly see a decrease in chaos and disorder… And more evidence of righteousness peace and joy. I'm definitely back on track. And you can be too. One final note. Sam Carpenter said something deeply profound in his book that is worth repeating. I don't have to like the steps needed to correct my malfunctioning systems-but I do have to take them if I want to see change. The result is the reward.   Question:   Have you ever had the experience of getting off track, and if so how did you get back on the path? Click here to leave your comments.
