Ok, let’s dive in!...
In this episode of the Mothers of Enterprise podcast, we're tackling the age-old question: "How do I scale my business without adding more hours to my already packed day?" If you've ever felt like you're spinning plates while trying to juggle family life and business growth, this one's for you!
Embracing Your Inner CEO
One of my favourite quotes from this episode is:
"The title of CEO so empowering (when you allow yourself to take on that identity) and it pulls you out of working in your business and puts you in the position of working on your business."
This mindset shift is crucial for any woman in business looking to scale. It's about stepping back, seeing the bigger picture, and making strategic decisions that drive growth - even when time feels scarce.
Four Strategies for Time-Efficient Business Growth
Let's dive into the four key strategies I shared for growing your business without sacrificing more of your precious time:
Make Your Business More Efficient First things first, let's plug those time leaks! I recommend using the Toggl app to track where your time is really going. You might be surprised to find hours disappearing into tasks that could be streamlined or eliminated.
Change Your Offers Sometimes, growth requires a pivot. I shared my own experience of shifting from low-ticket offers to high-ticket coaching packages. This change allowed me to increase my income without increasing my time investment.
Increase Your Prices This one might make you nervous, but hear me out. If you're providing exceptional value, don't be afraid to price accordingly. Remember, it's not just about revenue - it's about profit margins too!
Change Your Business Model Consider options like building a team or transitioning to an agency model. This allows you to scale without personally taking on more work.
Key Takeaways:
Use tools like Toggl to identify and eliminate time-wasters in your business
Don't be afraid to pivot your offers or increase prices if it aligns with your value
Consider scaling through team-building or transitioning to an agency model
Always prioritise profit margins, not just revenue
Let joy be your compass when making business decisions
My Approach to Coaching Busy Mums in Business
As a mama business coach, I've helped countless women implement these strategies to grow their businesses without sacrificing family time. One of my clients, a virtual assistant turned agency owner, used these principles to scale her business while maintaining the flexibility she needed as a military spouse.
We started by analysing her business data (something I do with all my clients), identified her most profitable services, and strategically built a team around those offerings. The result? She's now running a thriving agency, serving more clients than ever, while actually working fewer hours herself.
Imagine Your Future as a Scaled-Up Mumpreneur
Close your eyes for a moment and picture this: It's six months from now. You're sitting in your home office, wrapping up work for the day. You glance at the clock - it's only 2 pm, and you've already hit your income goal for the week. Your business is humming along efficiently, with a small but mighty team handling the day-to-day operations. You close your laptop, feeling a sense of accomplishment and excitement for the family time ahead.
As you head out to pick up the kids from school, you realise that this is the business and life balance you've always dreamed of. Your business is thriving, your family is happy, and you're not constantly feeling torn between the two.
This isn't just a daydream - it's entirely possible with the right strategies and support.
