Are you clear on what you should be spending your time on in your business?

And more importantly, what you *shouldn’t* be doing anymore?

At our Mentorship Retreat back in May, I had everyone do a really simple exercise – create a Yes List.

To do so is simple:

• Grab a big sheet of paper – preferably something you can hang on the wall in your office – and a Sharpie.
• Write down all the things that only you can do in your business (and that you enjoy!). This could include things like: marketing activites, following up with a potential client, writing an ezine article, planning out a project, calling someone as a JV, spending some time brainstorming new ideas, etc.
  [Keep in mind that you want to focus on those things that are the fastest path to money]
• Do only those things!

Once you have your Yes List then throughout the day you simply ask yourself:

“Is this something on my Yes List?”

If yes, do it… and if not, you need to pass it on to someone else.

The gals who did this exercise back in May have reported that it literally changed their business. In a span of a few short months, they went from “doing everything and on the edge of burnout” to “doing the stuff that matters, that they love and pays well.”

Imagine your life if you only did the stuff on your Yes List?

I’d love to hear what’s on your list, please share, k?

Video #9 (our final video) is with Certified OBM™ Michelle Lopez – who in 10 short months has gone from being afraid to talk on the phone to someone who accepts her value and is charging what she is worth. She is a great example of how business is as much a personal growth journey as it is a business growth journey – and that perseverance is key to creating what we want.

Video #8 is with Certified OBM™ Andrea Cinnamond – I just love the fact that Andrea found her inspiration from the show “What Not to Wear”

After having her children Andrea decided it was time for something new. Like me, Andrea started her business as a coach and after an opportunity to work as a marketing assistant for a coach training school she quickly realized that coaching wasn’t it – and so she started to shift her business…

OBM Interview Series – Video #7

Video #7 is with Certified OBM™ Denise Milligan. So many of us talk about enjoying the freedom that working virtually affords us – yet in my experience most people don’t actually make that happen. Denise is a great example for those of you who have the “travel bug”, as she has built her business to allow her to live part time in Spain each year (dreamy).

Video #6 is with Certified OBM™ Ericka Pardun – like many of us Ericka’s journey has been more of a struggle with mindset vs. skillset. After a client asked her to become her OBM she found herself wondering if she could really do this? She decided to take the plunge earlier this year in the OBM Certification program and (in her own words) has gone from “the little VA who was afraid to make a mistake to I’m exceptional and here’s why… ” – she now owns the value she brings to her clients (woo hoo!)

Video #5 is with Certified OBM™ Brenda Violette – who has a story i’m sure some of you can relate to.  She came from 30 years experience in corporate management and never really considered herself an entrepreneur. After being laid off she decided it was time to do something new, and after “dabbling” in a few things she came upon my book Becoming an Online Business Manager – and instantly knew this was it!

Video #4 is with Certified OBM™ Kate Gerry – one of our first UK OBMs! – who knew that she was doing so much more than being an “assistant” to her clients, but she didn’t know what to call herself (until she found the OBM community.)

Note – due to some connection issues the video screen freezes from time to time, but the audio is fine and I assure you Kate’s lovely accent is worth listening to.
