Would your business survive without you for 4 weeks?It can be a scary thought as the business owner, right?
Taking time away hoping the business won’t come crashing down without you…
You need to find out if this is even possible and what to do to set up your business to fully survive (and thrive) without you!
So today, let’s talk about how to clockwork your business with the 4D Mix.
Would your business survive
without you for a full four
weeks, it can be a scary thought
as the business owner right,
taking time away hoping that the
business won't come crashing
down without you. You need to
find out if this is even
possible and what to do to set
up your business in a way that
it can fully survive and even
thrive without you being there.
So today, let's talk about how
to clockwork your business with
our four D MCs. Hi, I'm
Adrienne, with run like
clockwork, and we believe it's
time to stop feeling
overwhelmed, and overworked. As
business owners, the world needs
you to step up as the visionary
leader that you are. So if
you're ready to create a
streamlined, successful business
that can actually run without
you, then you're in the right
place. Before we jump in, make
sure to like and subscribe so
that you can be the first to
know about more content like
this using the clockwork
framework, we've organized how
all our businesses spend their
time into four key areas that we
call the four d mix, the Ds are
do decide delegate and design.
The four d mix helps you
identify how you spend your
time, so that you can see
whether your business can grow
without you. Or if everything
will come to a screeching halt.
When you don't focus on each of
the four D categories, then
that's when problems arise,
stress levels go up. And your
business demands all of your
time and energy. Let's start
with doing the first challenge
doing is the time you spend
actually doing the work. This
includes the day to day tasks
needed to operate the business.
Maybe it's seeing clients, if
you're a doctor, taking sales
calls, doing administrative work
writing emails, it's the only
way projects and operations move
forward. So it's an essential
part to every business to be
getting things done. But you
need to be aware of what kind of
doing you're actually doing. As
the business owner, you need to
be clear on all the tasks, often
the busy ones that you're
actually doing inside your
business, but maybe you
shouldn't be doing at all. So
for the next three days, I want
to invite you to track and write
down exactly what you spend your
time doing each moment of the
day. In fact, click the link
below to get access to our for
Demyx calculator that's going to
help you track this. And for
each task you do take note as to
whether it's something you do,
or whether it fits into maybe
one of these other D categories.
The next D is decide. This is
where business owners often get
trapped, it's in the constant
making of decisions, instead of
actually getting valuable work
done. Decide is where you've
assigned a task to someone else.
But you still own all of the
decisions. It's like task
grabbing. It's different from
delegation where you assign an
outcome and evaluate performance
based on others achieving that
outcome by making decisions
without you. So you're probably
thinking it's just easier when I
make the decisions myself. But
that sucks up a lot of your
time. Decisions are also the
most neurologically taxing thing
that you can do. Your team needs
to know how to make decisions
themselves. So on your task
list, assign all of your tasks
that require you to make a
decision in your business as
decide. The third D is delegate
delegation is the assignment of
outcomes and goals, not tasks to
other people. It's your team's
responsibility at this point to
make decisions within that area
or outcome. A struggle in this
process is that many business
owners feel like they don't have
the right talent to hand over
project and task ownership to
But guess what? Many team
members say that they would love
to have more ownership. So allow
yourself to start delegating
clear outcomes to your team and
working together with them so
that they can create the tools
that they need to be more
autonomous. The final D is
design. Design is the big
picture work.
It's about the strategizing the
visioning and the creating of
the future of the business. This
is where it's vital to get to
know your QB are your queen bee
role from our clockwork book.
You have to inspire and guide
your team to serve the queen bee
role. So everyone in your
company knows their north star
as you categorize your tasks,
how many of them are designed
work, the work where you give
yourself time to think, to
strategize and to introduce
million dollar ideas DIA's if
your business is not running
like clockwork, that's most
likely because a lot of your
time right now is spent in the
doing and the deciding and not
in the delegating and designing
work types. Imagine how
different your business and life
would be if you were freed up to
spend more time designing the
business while empowering your
team and systems to do the work
and move the business forward.
How much more could you grow if
you were truly doing the
visionary design work, I want to
show you how to shift your time
and business to have a more
healthy balance of your four DS
so you can focus as much time as
possible on that design work. To
do that we have an advanced
training where we guide you
through exactly how to take our
four week vacation in the next
12 months so that you know what
to do next to free up your time
and energy as a business owner
so that your business can grow
without you. Click the link
