Podcasts about work smarter not harder

This week we're unpacking one of Carie Ann's most personal Disney experiences, 1998's Mulan. Ross struggles frequently with this film as one that was not marketed towards him, but was very familar with the familial expectations surrounding gender norms. Carie expresses distaste with the character of Mushu in her adult life, as well as the valuable take-away that no one person will ever fit super snugly into the binary boxes of gender norms. The siblings remark on what it means to be a credit to your own family, and also how you will never fit into the binary boxes society has set up....

Have you ever felt like you are juggling a million tasks?I've been there too! Often we are running on caffeine and chaos with things still falling apart or falling behind and you feel like you just can't keep up.Here's what I learnt from this - working harder doesn't always lead to better results and working smarter is where the real magic happens. We are now in a new era at the moment where AI is no longer a futuristic concept and the beauty of this is that AI is one of the most powerful tools to HELP make that shift from working harder to working smarter.The businesses that are embracing it are getting ahead. Whether you're struggling with admin overwhelm, losing time to repetitive tasks, or just trying to figure out how to grow sustainably, AI can help. AI is changing how we work but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. It's about freeing yourself and your team up to do more of what actually moves the needle. And in this episode we deep dive into AI so you can start seeing how you can implement AI into your business.I chat with Sam Mclean who is the founder of Elite Agent and helps businesses win more listings and get more efficient with AI. Sam shares practical tools you can start using today, explains why AI isn't as scary as it sounds, and shows us how it can free up your time to do the stuff that really matters.“ The Agents that can use AI well will win the new era. And that means using AI well to do the things that AI can do so it can free you up to do the things that AI can't do. And so what I see is the ‘AI can't do's' is the building relationships and having real empathy with your clients. If AI can free you up to do more of that, then I think that's how you win” --Sam McleanWe explore:Sam's journey from corporate tech to property and how AI became a part of her worldThe must have AI tools that real estate professionals should be using right now (including large language models like ChatGPT and Claude)How AI agents and automations are doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes from email creation to content creationThe power of tools for personalising your communication and building stronger relationships with landlords, vendors, and tenantsWhat “Search Everywhere Optimization” means and why it matters more than SEOHow AI is helping real estate businesses reduce arrears, improve efficiency, and helping to create growthKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie: https://calendly.com/kylie-tpm/coaching-call Kolmeo: https://kolmeo.com/ Sensor Global: https://sensorinsure.com/ and...

Dr. Anne Truong and Dr. Mike Woo-Ming discuss the importance of income diversification for physicians, highlighting how traditional medical careers often lead to burnout due to high workloads and limited fulfillment. They emphasize the need for doctors to work smarter, not harder. They both share their rigour and transitioning from conventional medicine practice to entrepreneurship. Dr. Anne Troung shares her realization of the value of working on her business rather than in it, by leveraging systems to create sustainable and scalable income streams. They also stress the importance of investing in oneself, whether through personal development by acquiring new skills like negotiation and marketing, or building revenue-generating assets. Dr. Truong reveals she has 18 income streams, purely derived from her medical expertise, and not stocks nor real estate. They encourage physicians to think beyond clinical work, and leverage their knowledge to create passive income through consulting, speaking or online ventures. Ultimately, the message is one of empowerment, that doctors don't have to stay stuck in a cycle of burnout or "golden handcuffs", but to invest in themselves, explore new opportunities and build systems that work for them.   Three Actionable Takeaways Work on your business, and NOT in your business. Build systems and processes that allow it to run without your constant involvement. Systems make for sustainability and enhanced efficiency. DON'T trade time for money Work smarter, not harder! Think of other ways to leverage your medical expertise and generate income outside the consulting room. Self-investment is the highest form of investing. Build yourself to be more valuable by learning skills like marketing, leadership, the art of negotiation, building networks etc. Let's Connect Start Building Your Business(es) Today.

In this episode, I'm diving into my most unpopular business beliefs—the ones that go against the mainstream coaching industry but have shaped how I run my business successfully (without burnout, financial stress, or unnecessary pressure).Why hustling and grinding isn't the secret to success (and what actually is).  Why manifesting alone won't get you results—you need aligned action.  Why you, not your coach, are responsible for your success.  Why you don't need to invest massive amounts of money to be “serious” about your business.  Why you don't always need a coach—sometimes, you need to trust yourself and fly solo.  If you've ever felt pressured to hustle harder, invest big, or constantly seek external validation—this episode will be a game-changer.  Ready to step into your power and build a business that works for YOU? Listen now & tag me on Instagram @_digiteach_ with your biggest takeaway! And if you're serious about creating & selling a successful online course as an educator or teaching business owner, don't miss my FREE live Masterclass on February 18th at 6PM CET / 12PM EST.
