❌ Productivity Keeps You Stuck Working 40 to 60-Hour Work Weeks (Here's What to Focus On Instead)
❌ Newsflash: Productivity is keeping you stuck on the "working all hours" hamster wheel. The definition of productivity is, quite literally, the amount of output you produce. The more you can fit into a day, the more "productive" you are. And as someone juggling a lot, achieving peak productivity used to feel like the holy grail for me. "If only I could learn how to get more things done!" I used to think, "I can finally reach my endgame and FINALLY start working less!" Sounds good in theory, buuuut... Here's what happened. I DID learn how to get more things done. In fact, I managed to achieve more in a week than just about anyone else I knew. And the BY PRODUCT of that? Is that I was then able to fit even MORE in... and so the hamster wheel continued, faster and faster and faster. Get more things done > Able to take on more things > Repeat. I never ended up working LESS, I was just getting way more DONE in the hours I worked. The more productive I was, the more I could do. The more I could do, the more I could take on. And because I had set "work times", what that meant is that I was never doing LESS... I was simply squeezing more and more in. One day, I had a penny drop moment... Maybe, I thought, it's not actually about getting more TASKS done in a day. Maybe instead, it's installing more operational elegance into my business and how I do things SO THAT the business can be more effective, and ultimately need me less. It was a defining moment, and in today's podcast episode, I am going to share with you five things that I started doing that finally got me OFF the productivity hamster wheel and towards the work/life balance I was doing it all for in the first place. In this episode, we discussed: ✔️ PLAN; ✔️ Do Less; ✔️ Plan Tomorrow Today (Aaaand... If You Have a Team, Implement a Daily Huddle); ✔️ Time Block; ✔️ Measure Key Metrics; ✔️ And MORE!

Why We’re Rebranding — and Five Signs It Might Be Time for You to Consider a Business Rebrand, Too
What do you do when you start to feel that your brand no longer reflects the evolution and growth of your business? When you start to feel, dare I say it, self-conscious when you’re asked about your business at a party, sure that the name “Stevie Says Social” will diminish your authority or how seriously you’re taken at networking events? When friends and family still ask you to try and help them get into their Instagram account, because your name still has “social” in it despite NOT teaching social media at all — “Don’t you have a little social media business — I only have 50 followers too, and I’m hoping you can help?!” they say, innocently. And when that nagging feeling, deep down, suggests a growing disconnect between the time, effort and importance you place on your business, and the way it is viewed in the eyes of those hearing “Stevie Says Social” for the first time. You re-brand, that’s what — and this year, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Right now? My brand kind of feels like I’m still getting around in the same outfit that I wore when I was a gawky teenager. I feel a sense of urgency to “grow up”, and for the vision that I have for my business, the importance that I place on it and the true impact that it has on so many lives through the people that we serve. I’m tired of feeling silly saying “Stevie Says Social” when someone asks what my business name is. I’m READY to step into bigger shoes and build a vision that doesn’t depend solely on me. And, if I’m really honest? I feel held hostage by an identity that doesn’t fit anymore. And so, as I embark on MY branding and business evolution (of which MUCH more will be shared later on in the year), today’s podcast episode is dedicated to five signs that might be an indication to YOU that it’s time to do the same. Here’s five signs that it might be time to rebrand your business: ✔️ You’ve experienced a significant business evolution (but your brand hasn’t kept up) ✔️ You’re not proud to share your brand with strangers ✔️ Your mission has grown, and no longer fits the container of your brand ✔️ You no long want it to be just about you ✔️ A change is as good as a holiday Full show notes for this episode can be found at https://thecoursecartel.com/160 ---------- Want more?
