What Works | Small Business Podcast With Tara Mcmullin

The Nitty-Gritty: * How Kate Northrup started doing less by accident—and why she decided to move forward doing less on purpose* The exercise Kate used to determine the 2 activities that have led to her biggest business wins* How the way Kate asks for and receives help has evolved since she became a mom* The process Kate uses to know what she needs help with so she always has an answer to the question, “What can I help you with?” All this month, we’ve been exploring running our businesses by the numbers. We’ve heard from a bunch of small business owners about how tracking metrics and financials have led to better decision-making and results. But the one number we haven’t tackled yet is… TIME. They say that we all have the same 24 hours as Beyonce to make things happen. But what “they” don’t account for is all the help she has or the way she structures her time to focus on what’s vitally important for her. And the result? We feel shamed into adding more & more to our to-do lists.
