110: Free Time Quiz Results

Are your business activities at the intersection of revenue, ease and joy? If not, are you aware of what does fall into that sweet spot? Are you a bona fide Free Timer, Bordering on Bottlenecked, or Chief Everything Officer? Those are the three potential outcomes of the Free Time Quiz, and upon reviewing the data, it sounds like a lot of us are still holding onto tiny, tedious, and time-consuming tasks. 

Today I’m sharing the initial post-book launch quiz results with insights on how Free Timers are navigating their businesses. Alongside every data point, I give an antidote solution to help move the needle in the right direction.

🌟3 Key Takeaways:

  • Be aggressive about making your time for deep work! Create big (recurring) blocks of time in your calendar, and make them inviolable. Protect them even from your procrastinating self!

  • Get to know your ideal customers a little bit better. How do they describe the problem you solve in their own words? What do they share over coffee with a friend?

  • Your team and clients are better served when you are well rested. It’s not worth the thousand tiny cuts of saying yes when you don’t really want to. 

📝Permission: Decline, reschedule, or remove three things from your calendar in the next two weeks. Really. Use that time for deep, pleasurable work instead. 

✅Do (or Delegate) This Next: Run an experiment, ideally an A/B test, for a metric in your business that you’d like to improve.
