077 How to save time

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast discussing how to save yourself some time.    One thing that’s limited in life is time.    It wasn’t until I lost everything that I first discovered how to be efficient with my tasks.    Living in rented accommodation with mould up to the ceiling of my baby’s bedroom, I knew I needed to be productive to make some money and provide a nicer home for my family.   In this episode I talk about the hacks I learnt during this difficult period in my life. I hope you find these helpful too.   One of the biggest concerns I have is when I hear people in the business world say things like, “If you need a job doing right, do it yourself.”   Thinking that way restricts you from being able to focus on higher income generating tasks.   Leveraging other people’s time is a fantastic way to build more time into your day so that you can focus on what matters most. Write down who you can lean on for support. It could be staff members, virtual assistants or someone in your wider network.    I also share the benefits of having a mentor. Someone who has walked the path that you want to walk.   Learn from their mistakes and don’t let your ego get in the way. You’re not going to be best at everything straight away. The more knowledge you can soak up from others, the quicker you’ll be able to implement effective systems in your own business.    Being more intentional with your use of social media can give you huge amounts of time back too.   It’s not something I find easy to do - TikTok is my guilty pleasure!   But restricting your use of it or only subscribing to channels that help you learn is a much better use of your time.    Listen now and if you have any time hacks that work for you, I’d love to hear them. My inboxes are open and I’m happy to help you understand how to build in time that will move you towards your goals.    If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/
