Today, we're talking with Tonya Dalton about the key to tackling this overwhelming and never-ending to-do list so you can get crystal clear on your priorities.
Tonya's North Star method lets you figure out what DOES matter to you -- both for your life and for your business – allowing you to align your day and your tasks with your goals so that you can make conscious choices about what you DON'T want to do.
Key Takeaways:
- How to prioritize when EVERYTHING is important
- How both your team and your business suffer when you get in your own way by not communicating a clear direction
- How getting clear on your priorities will create momentum in your business and space in your life
- And how to avoid the latest “hack” or software tool that promises to solve all your problems
Show Notes
Hustle culture tells us that in order to gain ground, we have to grind it out. That putting in the long hours day after day will bring us success.
But that just doesn't work for real people. Real people need rest.
Rest increases your productivity, your effectiveness, your problem-solving skills, and your creativity. We NEED rest to do our best work and to be able to bring our best selves to our businesses.
But when there's SO much going on and the to-do list is SO long, how do you create the space for rest – for your family and friends – and for your best work at the same time?
You prioritize the things that matter and get rid of the crap that doesn't.
All this month we're talking about how founders get in their own way and the practical, systematic tools they can use to stop doing that.
