Kim White and Jill Olish are back in the BBG Studio, again with a live audience, with a topic that Kim can get some pushback on. In this episode, they explain why they have ditched the illusion of multitasking and implemented 'batching.' Keep listening to learn how batching can have an impact on personal things, businesses, and the relationships around you.
Why batching and not multitasking?Have more things finished and done because you're focusing 100% on that thing Pro tip for multiplying your time and getting more done in less timeIf you're only 'on ramping' and 'off ramping' one time, you're already saving time, even if you're at the same speedYou can make two lasagnas at the same time with the same amount of dirty pansWhat would it look like if you did a whole month's worth of socials in a day so that you wouldn't have to think about it?You're done for longer periods of time, and it's such a reliefEven turn relationships into better thingsChallenge: Pick something that's similar, whether it's cooking, recording, emails, or anything, see how much quicker you can be when you do two at one time or three at one timeJust imagine, with some thinking ahead, those holiday meals that are coming up can be batched ahead of time, allowing you to be present and not so stressed in the actual holiday.
Batching may seem like it wouldn't do much to multiply your time but try it and see. It will blow your mind how much unnecessary pressure and stress you can remove from your day and your life.

Join them in the BBG studio as they break down how Sticky Note Time helps them break up the time it takes to reach a goal like a road trip with planned stops along the way.
Update from the vision board partyWhat comes next after vision boards?From Vision Board Party to Guided Sticky Note Time WeekendKim is a firm believer in: your business supports your life, not the other way aroundNo one just automatically gets what's on their vision board, you do have to take steps to start achieving those thingsDirections on getting some of the things that you want in your life from your vision boardsWhat can you do this quarter to move towards that?Do what comes next, not try and do it all at the same time"If I don't have accountability, everything's a passing phase" Implementing the Sticky Note Time process can give you a different outcome for your lifeSticky Note Time gives us awareness of how we're spending our lives, We spend our lives doing something, and time will pass, good or bad, so why not make our lives count for something?
Kim and Jill understand being scared to participate in something or jump into a community where you don't know anyone. So they just want to put it out there that you have lots of opportunities to start somewhere.

The conversation in the BBG Studio gets a bit spicy on this episode involves un-learning and learning things on this business adventure. Indiana Jones has nothing on us entrepreneurs. There are dangers along the way and plenty of mazes to find the success of freedom. We are talking about the cost of that freedom on today's show.
What is the one thing or reason that keeps you going on this adventure?Having a child changes what is most importantThings we give up and sacrifice to get freedomSecurity, effort, and financial shiftsCompromising in each of the roles, jobs, positions Limited income vs unlimited incomeDifferent kinds of freedom and the cost of eachCompliance, regulations, responsibilitiesIllusion of the glamorousSelf disciplined enough to show up Plans, systems, and a teamVacation from a vacationHow others are impacted by our choicesExample of sacrificing something important for something more importantConfessions of a workaholic and the guiltNot thinking outside of the usual, stuck in a rutSeeing doors and opportunities around usWorking in a different capacityWhat could happen? What if?Shifting like a true adventurerStuck can be paralyzing and scary waiting gameWhat is the treasure in the entrepreneur adventure?Dreaming of milestones and seeing them come to lifeThe freedom of choice comes with costs but we do have the opportunities around us if we look for them like hidden treasure. Being both flexible and responsible is part of owning a business. Make sure what you are sacrificing is worth it because the cost of freedom is for you to choose for yourself. Only you can decide what is the most important thing for you.

Join Kim White in the BBG Studio with special guest Denise Millet, the Findability Queen, in this conversation about understanding all the complicated things about SEO and optimizing.
Don't overlook the easy thingsYou can't optimize what you don't haveSimple steps to make your content recognizable and understandable by search engines The findability part is getting your things into the search engineThere's nothing wrong with hiring someone else to help you in your business, but also remember, you know your content best cause you created itConnect with your audience by sitting on their side of the keyboard and asking what is it that they're looking for? Different styles of search - on a computer with a keyboard, on your phone with the keypad and speech to textYou really have to think about where your people are and how they are asking their questionsIt's really creating the best piece of content for those sets of words that are going to represent what you want to representA lot of times we're looking for easy and we skip the thing that's right in front of us that actually would give us a huge impact. Keep it simple because none of us need complicated.

People take it lightly to delegate somethingDelegate something the right way, brings time back to your schedule that you need for doing business or doing lifeDo you want to delegate something because you want more to do? Knowing why you're going to delegate something will help you know where to start delegatingStart with what's going to benefit you the most in timeWe need to also consider what's going to help us make more money You're building a business that's going to support your life, an entire other family or an entire team of familiesTrading time for moneyWhen it is past time to delegateHumans supporting and helping is what delegation looks likeSo hard conversations come with delegationKnowing these things before you start to delegate will keep you from giving up and encourage you to keep looking for the right person for your team.

Welcome to the Buckets and Boom Gates Studio with Kim White and Jill Olish. This week's conversation in the Team Series is focused on the right, or wrong, ways to delegate. Kim shares some confessions on the wrong ways to delegate. And together Jill and Kim discuss gaining more time back for you as the owner versus spending all your time doing all the little things in your business. Keep listening to hear their own trials learning how to get support from others.
One of the worst ways to delegateAssuming someone else knows what you knowYour business owns you because you can't delegateAsking questions means my instructions aren't clearAn assistant of any kind is for the purpose of delegating to them something that takes something off you as the owner's plateDelegating because we don't like something is a great place to startThe hardest place to start when you start delegating Trying to cut the cost in the wrong placeA team supports my calendar so that the business can run without meSo delegation to, Kim and Jill, is the key to setting things in motion. It's just knowing how to delegate and when to delegate because, without it, it's not possible to have a business that doesn't own you.
Join us next week for another episode in the Team Series.

Welcome to the Buckets and Boom Gates Studio with Kim White and Jill Olish. This week's conversation in the Team Series is focused on how someone's "want to" impacts your whole life and not just your business. Confessions and behind the scenes are a regular part of this podcast. Listen in as we spill the tea on ourselves.
"Want To" can be damaged by many different thingsLooking for a team and it's cultureThe process we use to start a team or add onto a teamDating/Interviewing ScenarioAbility to learn is tied to "want to"Anyone can apply for our team but Team 30, 60, & 90 spots are earnedShowboating is not part of our cultureInterning to learn or find a spot on the teamWho you are serving mattersHow working together like a high school project shows your motivesWill you be the next one they are talking aboutCharacter is shown in how you handle being on a teamFacets on a team includes flexibility, skills, challengesLeaders have to recognize human things to decide on keeping team membersEach member leaves a ripple effectGraduating a team member for good or bad reasonsDon't get this twisted about a team... Showboating, being selfish, resentful of working, and other things serving your own self is not the same as taking care of yourself so you can show up and be part of the team and help others around you. When an entrepreneur or business owner needs to delegate tasks, it is vital to build a team in the right way so you have the ability to delegate long term. Building a business that supports your life instead of one that takes your life is influenced by how you delegate.
Ready to learn to delegate? Come join us in the Groundwork Brigade Mastermind Community and see how powerful it is to build the right kind of team in the right way.

This week in the BBG Studio the discussion continues in the versus series. This episode gets spicy and hits close to home as we compare the difference between messy and sloppy. While messy is beautiful and shows progress, sloppy is a much different thing in our businesses. Confessions included during this convo...
Getting started and showing the flawsStart before you feel readyContinuously improve over timeEveryone starts at zero no matter what they are startingIt takes courage to startAre you too tired or don't care anymore?Pause or full stopTaking care of yourself as a humanCaution to slow down when things start to get sloppyIdentifying there is a problemSigns things have changed from messy to sloppyPivots, shifts, adjustmentsHas your 'want to' changedDoing a bad job because something changed is not the same as learning as we go. Things shift, change, and evolve in our businesses and our schedules. We as humans also go through changes. Recognizing the sloppy and making sure we navigate those transitions is important.
It takes courage to start and it takes even more to shift, pivot, and adjust. Since Kerry started podcasting, she has done over 400 podcast episodes and is now a rockstar podcaster. Someday the rest of us may get to Kerry's level, but until then, embrace our messy because we don't want to be sloppy with you our amazing listener!
Join us next week for a living example of making sure we are not being sloppy going forward.
Love Y'ALL ❤️
