If you only had 20 minutes to diagnose why your advisory firm feels chaotic, where would you look first? In this episode, Libby walks you through the same rapid-fire audit she uses to identify the biggest operational bottlenecks inside an advisory practice. Instead of focusing on working harder or becoming more disciplined, you'll learn how to quickly pinpoint the systems that are creating unnecessary stress, consuming your time, and keeping you stuck as the bottleneck in your business. By the end of this episode, you'll have a simple framework you can use to perform your own 20-minute operational audit and identify exactly where to focus next.In this episode, you'll learn:The four core systems Libby evaluates first to quickly identify operational bottlenecks inside an advisory practice.How to perform your own 20-minute business audit to uncover where your firm is losing the most time and creating unnecessary stress.The common warning signs that your onboarding, service model, service requests, or internal projects need attention.How to identify the one process improvement that will create the biggest impact instead of trying to fix everything at once.Building a more efficient business doesn't require reinventing your entire practice overnight. It starts with identifying the one system that's creating the biggest drag on your time, energy, and client experience. Take 20 minutes, complete the audit, and commit to improving just one process this quarter.

You built the process... so why aren't you (or your team) following it? This episode is all about the difference between creating great processes and actually getting your team to follow them. While most advisors spend time documenting workflows, the real challenge is building habits that stick when business gets busy. Libby shares practical strategies for turning systems into your firm's default way of operating, helping advisors reduce mistakes, create consistency, and build a business that can truly scale without relying on constant oversight.In this episode, you'll learn:Why implementation is a completely different skill than process design, and why even great systems fail without consistent execution.Simple ways to help your team build new habits, including creating "pause points," making SOPs easy to access, and eliminating exceptions.How to create a culture that rewards following the process instead of celebrating lucky shortcuts that eventually create more work.Practical leadership strategies for auditing your systems, encouraging team feedback, and building lasting process adoption through repetition and accountability.If you've ever built a process only to watch your team slowly drift back to the old way of doing things, this episode will give you a practical framework for making change stick. Small, consistent improvements—paired with intentional implementation—can transform the way your business operates, creating a smoother experience for both your team and your clients while helping your firm scale with confidence.Join the Systems to Scale Group Coaching Program HERE! Register for the Asset+Map Do It Together Webinar HERE! Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

Folge 266: Den ersten Mitarbeiter einzustellen, ist für Gründer und kleine Personalberatungen ein riesiger Meilenstein – birgt aber eine riesige Gefahr: Wer zu viel Zeit ins persönliche Training steckt, vernachlässigt das eigene Billing und riskiert den eigenen Umsatz. In dieser Folge zeige ich dir, wie du den perfekten Spagat meisterst zwischen „so viel Input wie nötig“ und „so wenig eigener Zeitaufwand wie möglich“. Ich breche radikal mit der alten Schule des stundenlangen Co-Sittings und erkläre, warum dein Onboarding-System absolut unabhängig von deiner Tagesform oder deiner persönlichen Präsenz funktionieren muss. Erfahre, wie du deine Best Practices in skalierbare, statische Formate (Playbooks, Leitfäden, Videos) gießt und dich selbst auf die echten Hebel konzentrierst: Live-Demonstration und befähigendes Coaching. Ich decke auf, warum direktives „Mach-es-genau-so“-Verhalten deine Mitarbeiter unselbstständig macht, und wie du stattdessen grundlegende Prinzipien schulst, damit dein Team auch bei unvorhergesehenen Einwänden im Markt souverän reagiert. Ein Muss für alle Inhaber, die schnell und ohne emotionalen Ballast profitabel wachsen wollen!

Have you ever fallen off track and wondered how to get your time management systems working again? In this third episode of a four-part series, I explore what happens after your systems fail and how to recover when the structures you rely on are no longer working. Getting back on track is not about starting over from scratch, but about understanding where you are and creating a path forward.      When your systems stop supporting you, the first challenge is often knowing where to begin. In this episode, I share the process I use to help lawyers rebuild after setbacks, from understanding what has changed to identifying what needs attention and creating a plan that fits your current reality. You'll learn why recovery requires more than simply trying harder and how to approach rebuilding your systems with patience and intention.       Whether you have returned from a major deadline, experienced a life transition, or simply found that your previous systems no longer fit, this episode offers practical guidance for moving forward. You'll discover how to rebuild your time management practices in a way that supports consistency, flexibility, and the realities of your practice.                                                       Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/271              Click here to grab my procrastination protocol checklist: https://mailchi.mp/0c249b28750c/procrastination_protocol               Click here to grab my time management podcast roadmap: https://mailchi.mp/d267dabde299/time-management-lawyers-podcast-roadmap

(it changes everything)Her simple planning system: running lists, a single-page monthly calendar, and a binder that keeps it all togetherWhy she stopped trying to do everything every dayHow her mission of discipleship reframes every homemaking and homeschooling decisionA broader definition of hospitality that takes the pressure off your homeWhether you're drowning in Christian homeschooling overwhelm or just need someone to tell you the laundry can wait — this episode is for you.Topics: homeschool planning, homeschool routines, Christian homeschooling, homeschool mom burnout, simplified homeschool, discipleship and homemaking

You've heard the dreaded B word. Budget. Maybe you've never found one that actually sticks or maybe you're the opposite, and you feel pretty on top of your money already. Either way, this episode is going to shift how you see it.I first found Mike Michalowicz back in 2019 when I read Profit First, and it completely changed how I manage the finances here at The Pink Bee. So when his newest book, The Money Habit, came out, I devoured it. This one applies those same principles to home finances, which means you'll love it even if you're not an entrepreneur. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is when Mike and I realized his money system works exactly like the way our community already plans their time. Turns out the thing that finally makes your money make sense is treating your bank account like your calendar.In This Episode, I'll Cover:Why traditional budgets set you up to fail before you even start, and what Mike says to build instead.The number of hours a day the average person spends worrying about money, backed by a 2025 study that genuinely stopped me in my tracks.The system Mike uses to take money out of one confusing pile and give it the same at-a-glance clarity your calendar has.The one word swap that changes whether you stay buried in debt or actually dig your way out.Where to start if the whole thing feels like too much, because you do not have to do it all at once.Connect With Mike Michalowicz:www.mikemotorbike.comwww.facebook.com/MikeMichalowiczFanPage www.instagram.com/mikemichalowicz www.linkedin.com/in/mikemichalowicz ________________________________

Last week I turned 53, and I've found myself sitting with the lessons that took me decades and more than a few hard moments to truly understand. These aren't quick tips or things I read somewhere. They're the truths I learned by living them, the ones that eventually became the foundation for the work I do and everything I now teach women about their time and their capacity.This episode is a little different and a lot more personal than what I usually share. I'm opening up about five of these lessons, and I want you to know going in that none of them are about doing more or adding to your already full plate. Every single one is about giving yourself permission to finally put something down, and my hope is that you walk away feeling a little more seen and a little less alone in whatever season you're carrying right now.In This Episode, I'll Cover:The part of caregiving nobody warned me about, and the trip that made me realize it.The rest lesson I still catch myself getting wrong, even though I know better.What I finally did after years of saying "I'm drowning" and having nothing change.What I would say today to a woman who's just been told she's using her kids as an excuse.Resources Mentioned:A Better Share by Dr. Morgan Cutlip: bit.ly/4p9psDBThe FREE Master Your Morning Event is Back!Join me July 20 - 24 to discover YOUR perfect morning routine.☀️ www.megansumrell.com/morning________________________________

One of the biggest mistakes I see growing advisory firms make is waiting too long to define roles and responsibilities. When your team is small, it's easy for everyone to pitch in wherever needed. But as your firm grows, those blurry lines quickly turn into confusion, duplicated work, bottlenecks, and frustration.In this episode, I share one of the exercises we teach inside our Systems to Scale Group Coaching Program that helps advisors create clear job roles before they become a problem. You'll learn why well-defined roles aren't about creating bureaucracy—they're about giving your team clarity, creating better accountability, making delegation easier, and building a business that's ready to scale. Whether you have one employee or ten, this framework will help you stop building jobs around people and start building a business that can grow intentionally.In this episode, you'll learn:Why every advisory firm needs clearly defined roles and job descriptions long before you think you do.How to identify the core functions of your business and organize responsibilities so everyone knows exactly what they own.The difference between building a role around a person versus hiring the right person for a well-defined role—and why that distinction changes everything as you scale.How creating an organizational chart and role structure today makes delegation, hiring, annual reviews, and future growth dramatically easier.The strongest businesses aren't built by adding more people—they're built by creating clarity. When every person understands their role, how they contribute to the firm's vision, and where opportunities for growth exist, your business becomes easier to lead, easier to scale, and far less dependent on you being involved in everything. It's one of the simplest CEO exercises you can do today that will continue paying dividends as your firm grows.Join the Systems to Scale Group Coaching Program HERE! Register for the Asset+Map Do It Together Webinar HERE! Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about slowmaxxing, the viral trend that flips hustle culture on its head. Is the answer to burnout really found in 48-hour chocolate chip cookies and 15-minute coffee rituals, or is that taking things a little too far? Jenn breaks down what slowmaxxing really means, why it might be the antidote to internet brain rot, and how it connects to the priorities we already claim to care about. Does slowing down mean getting less done, or could it be the missing piece that makes everything else work better? Tune in to hear how Jenn is putting this trend to the test in her own life, and whether she thinks it is worth adopting or just another wellness fad dressed up with a new name.

Hey Friend, I just got back from Texas, where I had the joy of speaking to an incredible group of women at a church in Waco. And some of what I shared with them is newer content I've been working on. A little bit of that is woven into today's conversation. But first, I want to talk about something I've been saying for years: getting up on the balcony. Here's what I believe: you cannot see your own life clearly when you're standing in the middle of it. You're too close. When you're at ground level, all you can see is the next thing in front of you. Getting up on the balcony means stepping away — intentionally, seasonally — to get a wider view of your life. It's one of the most necessary and most neglected rhythms I know. About fifteen years ago, I started driving to Chicago every three months for a retreat. I didn't love the drive, but arriving at that retreat center changed something in me. That rhythm of stepping away became foundational to my own personal and professional growth — and I've never regretted a single trip. It doesn't have to be far. It doesn't have to be long. But it does have to be away. A weekly Sabbath does some of this work — and it's valuable — but there's something about a seasonal reset, a 24 to 48-hour step outside your ordinary routine, that reaches a different layer.After six years of offering retreats like this to our certified coaches, Farmer Dale and I are finally opening the farm to you. Small groups, intentional time, home-cooked meals, and the beauty and simplicity of life on a fourth-generation family farm in South Central Illinois. Our first retreat is September 17–19, 2026. Only six seats. Registration is open now, and there's already a waitlist forming — so don't sit on this too long. If you're in a season of transition, longing for clarity, or just overdue for a real rest and reset, this might be exactly what you need.

Do you ever find that even your best time management systems eventually stop working? In this first episode of a four-part series, I explore why systems fail and why falling off track is a normal part of practice. Recognizing these patterns is the first step in getting back on track and maintaining structure in your practice.       This episode highlights three main categories of system failure that I see most often in lawyers' practices. You'll hear why even the most organized systems can stop working, how to identify the type of disruption you're experiencing, and why understanding the cause is essential for addressing it effectively. By identifying what's happening, you can approach getting back on track with clarity and intention.       Whether you're currently struggling to maintain your systems or reflecting on past experiences, this episode provides insight into why falling off track is expected and what it means for your practice. The discussion lays the groundwork for the next episodes in the series, where we'll explore the recovery steps and long-term strategies for maintaining consistent time management                                                  Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/269              Click here to grab my procrastination protocol checklist: https://mailchi.mp/0c249b28750c/procrastination_protocol               Click here to grab my time management podcast roadmap: https://mailchi.mp/d267dabde299/time-management-lawyers-podcast-roadmap

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → Amanda McKinney is back, and this conversation picks up right where the field is most uncomfortable: the place where your own capability quietly becomes the ceiling on your growth. If you've ever thought "it's faster if I just do it myself," this episode was made for you. Amanda brings her accountability coaching lens to the real-world pressures bookkeepers face — the revolving door of client work, the resistance to delegation, and the habits that quietly drain capacity before burnout ever arrives. Chapters [00:00] The 3-Times System Rule [01:18] Welcome and Guest Introduction [03:30] Amanda's Journey Since 2023 [08:30] Working With Teams Long-Term [13:00] When Capability Becomes an Obstacle [17:00] Warning Signs of Unsustainable Pace [21:00] The Case for Hobbies [25:00] Building Systems to Delegate [29:00] SOPs in Practice: Quarterly Taxes [32:30] Amanda's Podcast Pause The Highly Capable Trap Being good at your work is a genuine asset — right up until it isn't. Amanda explains that capability creates capacity, and capacity gets filled. "The problem with being capable is that it opens up more capacity. And when you have more capacity, you get more work. Either it's given to you or you give it to yourself." For bookkeepers, where the work never truly stops, this cycle can accelerate fast. Recognizing the pattern is the first step out of it. Warning Signs Worth Watching Amanda walks through the early signals that something needs to change — before burnout forces the issue. Physical heaviness when someone asks how you're doing, or the moment you realize your only answer to "what do you do for fun?" is your work. She shared that in 2024, that was her own reality. "I realized, oh my gosh, I have no hobbies. I don't have anything that I do just for fun." Intentionally adding even 15 minutes of something non-work-related a week can start shifting that. The 3-Times Rule for Systems This is the practical core of the episode. Amanda's rule of thumb: if you do something more than 3 times, it needs a system. She uses invoicing as a quick gut-check — if you can't describe your process fast, you're spending unnecessary brainpower every single time. The fix is straightforward: the next time you do that task, record yourself walking through it using a screen recorder like Loom or Neato (free). That recording becomes your SOP, and that SOP becomes your delegation tool. She applied this to her own quarterly tax payments: "I did it in like 15 minutes. Whereas that would have taken me an hour or two if I didn't have those steps written out." Delegation Without the Dread Most bookkeepers resist handing work off because training someone else feels slower than doing it themselves. Amanda reframes this: a documented system removes most of that training burden. The SOP does the heavy lifting, and the person you're delegating to — whether human or software — gets a clear path to follow your standards. As Michael put it during the conversation, "SOPs are the pathway to profitability." Sustainable Growth Requires a Pause Amanda recently did something that surprised her own audience: she intentionally paused her podcast after eight straight years of weekly content. The flood of concerned emails she received made her realize how rarely people pause before something forces them to. The message for bookkeepers is the same — growth that lasts has to be built on something sustainable. Waiting for a crisis to rest isn't a strategy. "You don't have to be burnt out before you make a decision to change something."

What if teaching your toddler to manage time isn't about timers at all, but about giving them the chance to make their own decisions? In this episode, I explain why toddlers are capable of developing time management skills much earlier than most people realize when we shift from directing to guiding. I share practical strategies for setting clear expectations, asking thoughtful questions, and giving children enough time to process and plan their actions before transitions. You'll discover how small language shifts can strengthen executive functioning, build independence, and reduce power struggles around everyday routines like cleaning up before dinner. Plus, I remind parents that time management is just one of several essential life skills—and it's okay to focus on one developmental goal at a time.Don't miss a thing!

If planning your week, remembering the small stuff, or keeping up with admin feels harder than the actual work, you're not imagining it.This week, Skye sits down with Mike Legett, an ADHD coach and executive functioning specialist who was diagnosed with ADHD as a child. Mike studied molecular genetics at Emory before leaving graduate school when its vague, paperwork-heavy demands became unworkable. She went on to build a career as an internationally recognized swing and blues dance instructor and now helps adults with ADHD build systems that work with their brains instead of against them through the Center for Living Well with ADHD.Together, Skye and Mike unpack why ADHD isn't a lack of effort. It is often a mismatch between the person and the systems they are expected to work within. They explore why planning, memory, time management, and admin can become the biggest sources of stress, and what actually changes when you stop relying on willpower alone.If you've ever wondered why the "boring parts" of running a business seem to drain you more than the work you love, this conversation will leave you with a clearer understanding of what's really happening and what you can do to make life easier.What We CoverWhy planning and admin create so much friction for ADHD brainsHow paperwork and unclear expectations led Mike to leave academiaWhy "just push through it" usually makes things worseWhat changed when Mike stopped trying to manage everything aloneHow better systems reduce mental load without requiring perfect disciplineWhy working with your brain beats fighting against itConnect With Mike Legetthttps://www.mikelegett.com/If you're an entrepreneur with ADHD who's tired of being asked “Why don't you just hire/make a system/delegate?”  We've gotchu! Click here for a free copy of my 5-year-tested Focus Filter.

"Send us a message!""I'm just so busy."It's one of the most common things we hear from salon owners.But being busy and building a business aren't the same thing.In this episode, we revisit one of our favorite leadership frameworks: the Five Modes of Ownership, and explain why so many owners stay stuck working harder instead of building systems that create long-term growth.We discuss the difference between busy work and compounding work, why diagnosing problems matters more than reacting to them, how to know which "mode" your business needs most, and why your future should determine where you spend your time today.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.That starts by giving your attention to the work that actually compounds.Key TakeawaysBeing busy isn't the same as building a business.Compounding work creates long-term value. Every business owner must lead in different modes. Diagnose problems before reacting to them. Focus on one type of work at a time. Leadership requires intentional attention. Crisis mode demands calm, not panic. Invisible work often produces the biggest results. Systems reduce future chaos. Your future should determine how you spend today.Time Stamps00:00 — Opening takes + preparing for slow seasons 05:30 — Stop believing manufactured business problems 07:00 — Why owners always feel busy 08:00 — The Five Modes of Ownership refresher 10:00 — Busy work vs. compounding work 11:30 — Operations vs. systems 12:30 — Leadership, strategy, and crisis mode 14:00 — Diagnose before you react 16:00 — Choosing the right leadership hat 18:30 — Why working harder isn't the answer 20:30 — Give each mode your full attention 23:00 — Why focus creates better results 25:00 — Where the Five Modes came from 28:00 — Lessons from navigating a true crisis 31:00 — The invisible work that builds businesses 34:00 — Why business owners need long-term thinking 36:00 — Building tomorrow instead of surviving today 39:00 — Final thoughts on intentional leadershipLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Time management and time abundance are at the center of this conversation with Laura Vanderkam, bestselling author and time-use researcher.Laura Vanderkam has spent over a decade studying how people actually spend their time — tracking her own hours for 11 years and collecting data from thousands of others along the way. Her new book, Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance, makes the case that time isn't the scarce resource we assume it is, and that shifting how you see it changes how you live it.In this conversation, we cover:The lottery ticket reframe — why Laura argues we should treat the time we've been given as an unearned windfall to manage, not a resource we're constantly running out of.The "not actually more overworked" argument — what a century of time-use data really shows, and why the story you tell yourself about having no time matters more than the data itself.Complexity isn't the enemy, chaos is — Laura's circus metaphor for running a full, complicated life without it feeling like it's running you.Dream big, plan small — how reading War and Peace one short chapter a day (the same time it takes to brush your teeth) is the model for tackling anything that feels too big to start.Active patience — Laura opens up about a brutal year of chronic pain and the hardest lesson in the book: sometimes the answer isn't a better system, it's time itself doing its work.This one's for anyone who's ever ended a Tuesday feeling like the whole evening just disappeared.
