I had a moment about two months ago that has completely shifted my relationship with my biz. At the beginning of this summer, I finally threw my hands up and said “FUCK IT,” with my whole chest. This time it was different, though.
It was time to get experimental, creative and fucking shameless about doing the things that lit me up instead of dragging myself through the motions on repeat.
Saying “FUCK IT” wasn’t about giving up, it was about reclaiming my power. I was finally ready to stop measuring my value with vanity metrics and numbers on my tax return and run my business in a way that played to my strengths and passion.
That mindset shift has been one of the most transformative moments of my entrepreneurship journey. Drowning out the noise about how many followers I should have or what my money goals should be has allowed me to get clear on what success means for ME and how I can structure my business in helping me get there.
I’m telling you this because I want you to harness the power of saying “FUCK IT” into a catalyst for growth and support in your biz to sustain your new found sense of freedom and independence from the hustle. Let’s break down how you can get there and start running your biz in a fun, hot way instead of an anxious and exhausted way.
Focus on the metrics that matter
At some point you’re gonna have to accept that IG analytics and email open rates and even the numbers on your tax return don’t determine your value. Once you do that, you can use them for what they are – data that can inform the changes you make in your biz.
You have to stop hunting for the perfect project management template and accept that there’s no magic bullet for the issues you’re facing with staying on top of shit in your biz. The best way to create a supportive system is get clear on where you need support and what difference you want to see.
When you look at the things you want for your life, you probably want to feel good and fulfilled, but get SPECIFIC. Shift your perspective away from “The numbers don’t lie, I’m not good at this” to “The numbers are a good indicator of where I can use support from my system to make improvements.”
Not seeing the IG audience growth you want? Create a content planning process that makes it easier to post consistently and get strategic about the message you’re putting out there.
Wishing more of your mailing list engaged with your messages? Segment your audience in your email marketing platform to speak to specific audience members about the stuff they’re most excited about and sell your offers with intention.
Dreaming of fatter checks and more high-ticket sales? Use automation to create dialed in communication funnels to keep leads engaged and moving up the sales ladder. Then, beef up your client management system to give your clients the star treatment that makes working with you worth every penny.
Switch out bloated processes for lean operations for a sexier system
Lean operations are all about creating efficient, streamlined processes that make your business run smoothly and effortlessly. Having quality systems isn’t about having the latest, shiniest tools, it’s about having processes that are sustainable, reliable and proportionate to your needs.
A lean system is a sexy system – you should feel supported and lit up by these processes, not overwhelmed or exhausted. They make you feel supported and keep you fired up about working instead of sucking all the fun out of your passionate creativity. These processes you lift you up and attract you to maintaining and using them, not turn you off and put you in procrastination mode.
The Sexy System Formula
- Clearly Outlined Steps: Every task in your business should have a defined step-by-step guide. No more guessing or winging it.
- Aligned Platform Selection: Choose tools and platforms that fit your priorities, style, and tech comfort level. This ensures everything feels just right and works smoothly.
- Sustainable Routine: Develop a routine that you can stick to. It should be fleshed out enough to support your goals but flexible enough to adapt when needed.
- Connection to Your Goals: Your system should be a direct path to achieving your business objectives. It’s not just about getting things done but getting the right things done.
Here’s how you’ll know when you’ve nailed it:
- You feel totally at ease using the system, no more second-guessing, getting stressed and closing the tab to avoid the process.
- You’re excited to share it with your clients, your team and all your biz besties instead of dreading people knowing how you actually run your biz behind the scenes.
- You feel confident and like a total badass when you deliver your services, knowing you’re getting things right and feeling empowered as a creative visionary.
But like, how do I *actually* get there?
Building a passionate, sexy system that lights you up and feels good to use doesn’t happen overnight. Not only does it take some commitment on your part, it requires strategy, intention and clear desires for your system when things are all said and done.
Here’s what you can expect along the way:
- Hands-On Support: You won’t be alone. I’ll be right there with you, guiding you through every step.
- High-Quality Walkthroughs and Guidelines: Clear, easy-to-follow instructions to make everything understandable.
- Roomy Boundaries: Structure that allows for creativity while still getting things done effectively.
- Flexibility: I’ll go the extra mile to find methods and platforms that suit your unique needs.
- Collaboration: Your input is crucial. Together, we’ll create a system that truly supports you.
