The GRIND Scheme Podcast

It's frustrating to have so much to do at the end of the day and know you have to get some rest.

This is the solopreneurs dilemma ... to get more done you sacrifice sleep, but when you sacrifice sleep, you sometimes get less done.

To resolve this, I created an episode featuring instructions on 3 things you can start doing immediately to help you be productive even while you rest.

So, you want to get your book published but you don't know where or how to start?

Or maybe you don't feel ready but you're not even sure what "being ready" even means.

What if I told you in 45 mins you could get clarity about where you are and where you need to go with getting your book in print with simplicity and ease?

That's what happened to me when I met with my publisher to produce the 2023 edition of the 24 Hour Blueprint planner and playbook.  And this podcast was inspired by the lessons learned from the entire process of getting my book published.

And I hope the creatives, writers, bloggers, subject matter experts and poets that are uncertain about where they are on the publishing journey can hit the "Skip the Struggle" button and work with a publisher that gets them and can get the job done.

Here's to your successful publishing journey!

One of the biggest frustrations solopreneurs have is not having enough time to get to the things they want.

And there's a paradox as you're building your business to provide for the people you love and not having time to see those very same people.

If you're struggling to make time for to date night with a significant other, this is the podcast for you.

There's two parts.  This episode gets you thinking...

The next one will get you in action.

We all take so much of the productivity tools and resources we have at our finger tips for granted.  And it's evident in the fact that 70% of adults have access and or use a digital calendar.  But few are really maximizing on them.  If you're a creative, entrepreneur, business owner etc. you probably have struggle to figure out or keep up or be consistent with staying organize through some form of a digital calendar.  

Well, the All New 7 Secret Google Calendar Hacks That Boost Productivity in 24 Hours or Less is the product and result off a decade of research and reflection that lead to an insight that helped gain extraordinary traction when it came to my productivity.  And that insight is this...

If a tool inspires your mood, you'll use it more and get more out of it.

And that's what this training has done for so many that have applied it's principles.

Many Entrepreneurs want to get ahead by outsourcing… But the challenge that’s rarely addressed is the fact that to be able to outsource is so much more than just having an overseas tele-center handle all your calls.  There are systems and protocols that need to be in place for it to make sense and also for it to not be a money dump for revolving doors of new hires.

Who doesn't love a great hotel deal??... 

Especially if it's a deal for a great night's stay in one of the greatest cities of the world -- New York City.

Well, I had a great deal and experience as a guest at the Westin NYC Time Square last weekend, until I checked out last Saturday and realized that I forgot to grab my phone charger.

This podcast is my story of my experience of trying to retrieve the charger to no avail and the poor level of service I received.

And the big lesson in this for those who either have a business or wish to own one and service high tier clients is to offer magic from beginning to end - even when there's tragic endings like my forgetting my phone charger.

The story here is funny - kinda sad too because a 4.5 Star hotel, in my opinion, should have great protocols in place to support guests when they leave things behind but maybe that's just me.

If I were to rank my experience of the Westin NYC Time Square now after my lost phone charger experience, I'd give it a 3.5

After listening to this podcast, what would you rate it?

We've been shamed into believing that it's ok to feel bad about how unproductive we are within a 24 Hour Period compared to our heroes and influencers - like the Elon Musk's, Jeff Bezos's and Oprah's of the world.  And I'm here to set the record straight and say that this premise and comparison is WRONG.

We have to compare apples to apples and comparing ourselves to the business moguls in the world by saying we both have the same 24 hours in a day and shaming ourselves for not being as productive as they are is NOT comparing apples to apples.  It's actually a form of self abuse.

In this podcast I use a couple examples and illustrations to make the point that not only do we not share the same 24 hours but we're hurting ourselves by even making the comparison.

In the end, I offer a simple 5-category framework that can help the avarage person get on track with making the most of their 24 Hours without the stress and shame that come from making ill comparisons of themselves to others.

Enjoy!

It's all fun and games until your 12 year old daughter calls you out for tolerating yellow armpit stains on your shirts...

Yes.  That actually happened to me.

My very own 12 year old daughter called me out for having armpit stain problems on my white t-shirts recently and I'll never forget it.

When you start out marketing, there's all kinds of dreams you've been sold that you expect to cash in on.  

You expect all your ad campaigns will work.  You expect a good chunk of your traffic will become leads. And naturally, you also expect that people will buy or sign up for your product or service right away.  

Most of all you don't expect to "lose" money in the process.

So, what happens when all of that doesn't go as planned?  

How do you respond?

This is what most new to intermediate level marketers don't plan for or have an empowering way to handle. 

This podcast offers to help put the emotional pain that comes with failed campaigns into perspective so you can keep growing no matter what.
