114: “Failure is the Frame, Not the Picture”

We’ve got a Grab Bag this week with three favorite time-saving techniques, starting with an image I can’t get out of my mind by @jackbutcher of Visualize Value, followed by two listener submissions for the My Favorite Time-Saving System series. What’s your favorite tip or tool? Leave a review for the pod to share with fellow Free Timers at lovethepodcast.com/freetime, or submit it as a voice memo at http://itsfreetime.com/ask 🌟 Key Takeaways:  “Failure is the frame, not the picture.” Remember that the specific event or experience you’re looking at isn’t the whole story; don’t judge something as a failure too soon. Create a virtuous circle by nurturing your current clients and encouraging word-of-mouth referrals. Improve retrievability in your business and your life by thinking your tasks through to their final outcomes and making sure the single next step after a current task is either already done, or so obvious it doesn’t have to be thought about. 📝Permission: From Karen—Not to take on new clients this quarter! Appreciate the ones you have, and watch as word-of-mouth magic grows as a result :) ✅Do (or Delegate) This Next: From Lauren—put your trash bags (real and proverbial) where they will instantly save time for your future self.  📘Books Mentioned: Free Time: Lose The Busywork, Love Your Business, Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One  🔗Resources Mentioned:  VisualizeValue.com Karen LePage Podcast Production: One Stone Creative 🎧Related Podcast Episodes:  028: When the Financial Tides Recede 104: Save Someone Next Steps 095: From Scavenger Hunts to Retrievability Speed with Nick Sonnenberg 💻 Access Free Time episode transcripts on Podscribe »  🌟Enjoying the show?
