In March 2020, the world turned upside down for many.
Everyone's business, jobs, and family dynamics were being impacted in one way or another. For us, we were called on to put our years of experience to the test.
Many married couples who had wanted to start a business but, up until that point, didn't have the fire under them to do it. So, when people began losing jobs and decisions had to be made, we found ourselves coaching couples who needed an increase in 30 days.
The stakes were high.
But we knew it could be done with the right tools and consistency.
Many couples get discouraged before they even start because they look at what they don't have instead of what they do have. Having a healthy perspective is a non-negotiable for sustainability.
Back to our challenge to help them launch in 30 days. We decided to take off all of the extra training from our course and solely focus on the essentials for 30 days. We were so ecstatic when we started getting testimonials of how quickly the results were coming in. Take a look at some screenshots below:
Here are the top 5 areas we focused on to get these kinds of results in 30 days:
- 🗓 Daily Action Calendar: Knowing where to focus daily in the business for 30 days means you will move the needle forward daily.
- 💰 Revenue-Generating Activities Each Day: It's easy to focus on what needs to be done in the back office, but only some things that need to be done will immediately move the needle forward. This is where moment-by-moment discernment comes in place. The ability to prioritize priorities is a superpower.
- 📊 Clear 30-Day Goals and Objectives: Starting with monetizing the LHF (Lowest Hanging Fruit) is critical. But even that requires clear goals and tracking to know you are making moves.
- ✅ High-Level Accountability: Whether with a friend or a coach, have someone in your corner who will call you to the carpet and encourage you when needed. We show up differently when we know we are accountable.
- 👩❤️👨 Clear Wealth Roles For Each Spouse: This doesn't mean all wealth roles are in the business; some are taking on extra responsibilities in the home so the company can grow at an accelerated pace. That kind of support counts too.
These tools, when combined, can produce incredible results in 30 days (or less). We've done it and helped countless other married couples do it. Need help? Let's chat.
Here's to living purposefully, powerfully, and profitably in sync,
