KEY TAKEAWAYS

You must identify how you can effectively utilise your time to be as productive as possible.I'm a very last-minute person so having a great team around me is vital.My PA has helped to create great questions for guests on the podcast and is brilliant at producing interesting questions for the ‘yes, no' gameMy other PA has been busy organising the podcast launch party. Together as a team, we raised in excess of £5,000 in sponsorship towards the party in only 5 weeks.My Virtual Assistant is based in the Philippines and helps me with the tasks I don't have time to do, such as messaging on my social media platforms LinkedIn and Facebook.Without having a team, I wouldn't be able to be so productive and have time to spend with my family.Sitting everybody round the table and eating is what is important to me and makes me happy.I love walking my dog, going to the gym and swimming every week, if it wasn't for my support network I wouldn't be able to do the things that are important to me.When I was building my business, it was massively time-consuming and it's now nice to have a passionate team who I can work with.when I was building my business, I had 30 members of staff, was always anxious, hardly slept and barely paid myself.I now know there are smarter ways to workWhen I started my business, I didn't know my knowledge was worth something that I could lift people and inspire them with my motivational talks, I didn't know how easy it is to sell things onlineIn reality, you can have a business and use social media to be successful without vast numbers of employees and premises.Build a community and a support system and know you are not alone but there are smarter ways to work.
