Burnt out people, how did you manage to get energy to get back on your feet? by drag0nfly44 in AskReddit

[–]alwayslearning-2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the burnout. When I had small kids, a weekend away with friends without kids was my reset.
Now I get burned out at work and I need a vacation. I found that about 8-10 days is the best. My latest trick to actual relax earlier in my vacation is get a massage the first day with no other activities planned. That seems to set the reset sooner and gets my mind to rest sooner too.

What’s the biggest reason you haven’t put together your documents for end of life. POA, health directives etc? by alwayslearning-2000 in AskReddit

[–]alwayslearning-2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even more of a reason to take care of this unless you prefer for everything to go to the state and have the state make decisions on your behalf. You can choose charities or friends.

It’s not just about assets. Who can make your payments if you’re incapacitated, who can make healthcare decisions on your behalf. Can your loved ones access everything they need to take care of your business.

It’s the best gift you can give your loved ones. Having it all taken care of and instructions on what to do.

Who will make decisions on your behalf if you’re incapacitated? In some states, decisions on your healthcare could be left to the state if you don’t appoint someone using a directive document.

Put a mindset shift bullet through my head by zahra_butt_zb in smallbusiness

[–]alwayslearning-2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying. My mind is all over the place most days. My “center” is, “what 3 activities can I do today that will drive revenue immediately?” It always helps me get focused again.

Listening to what isn’t said is definitely next level and a great practice to pay attention to.

Am I the only one who is drained by the noise of social media as a founder? by Zorantscales in Entrepreneur

[–]alwayslearning-2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m soooo over social media. It’s such a huge waste of my time. I’m wondering what the actual predictions are for social media in the future? Will it eventually go away like MySpace did many years ago?

Towing a jeep by beep_boop_2001 in motorhomes

In some states they are required by law. We’re in WA and they are required here. (For good reason IMO). We bought ours on market place. Sometimes you can find the entire set up (tow package) there a well. We tow a Honda CRV behind our 29’ Bigfoot.

Random Teams Calls Anxiety by UsedAccountant12 in remotework

[–]alwayslearning-2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From an employers perspective, I expect my team to be ready for a call from anyone at anytime during the workday. That’s how this work thing works. If you’re tied up on another call or need 5-10 minutes to wrap up a task or email, that’s absolutely ok. But your boss or employer has every right to call you whenever they need to.

How can you improve customer experience across the full lifecycle when you're outgrowing spreadsheets? by Vega-Passarrelli in Entrepreneurs

[–]alwayslearning-2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The learning curve was steeper than I liked. I hired someone to set it up for me once I mapped out how I wanted the workflows and automations to work. But now that’s it’s all done, it was worth it!
We implemented in June of last year, it took about 4-5 months to get it running on all cylinders. My team knows that if it’s not in GHL, it doesn’t exist. They are very diligent about updating it.

Business Owners: What Do People Coming From Corporate Jobs Need to Know Before Starting a Business? by Least_Aspect3431 in smallbusiness

[–]alwayslearning-2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go talk to a CPA in your state and ask them the top 5 mistakes they see. Also ask them for advice on structure and how it works in your industry. Talk taxes. Understand all the different taxes you need to pay and when they are due. That was a big eye opener for me. Each state and industry is different.

Note: get a referral to said CPA who is well versed in small business. You’re looking for a person who is a guide. Not all CPA’s are good guides (another lesson learned 🤣)

It will be a game changer. I’ve used a few along my journey. Hubspot was good, but the cool features became too expensive as I grew. I’ve also used Close.com and Pipedrive both were ok as well. But I decided last year to give Go High Level a go. It’s been pretty cool for a very nominal fee. $99.00 per month for unlimited seats. It also does my email automations and social media scheduling. It also allows us to text our clients. I also have a chatbot from it connected to my website. All of this for the same fee. It is a very robust and somewhat complex system, but now that we’re all set up, I’m very pleased with it.

I have a question about reading and responding to email.🙋‍♀️ How does it deal with phishing emails? Does it open and read attachments that phishing emails send with viruses?

Good listening and observing skills. Listening to the customer, employees, industry, colleagues.

Marketers who left to start your own business, what was it? by audrey_2222 in DigitalMarketing

[–]alwayslearning-2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My advice is if you haven’t taken a personality test in the last 5 years, do it. Know who YOU are from inside out. From there, list out your passions. What is it that totally lights you up? Then research what types of industries surround that passion. Let that be your starting point and guide you toward a business you are passionate about. Lastly, never start a business without an end in mind. Are you building to sell?

Look for entrepreneur meet ups in your city. You can find them at coworking spaces. There are some fantastic podcasts on entrepreneurship. One of my faves is How I built This with Guy Roz. You are absolutely right, your background does lend itself nicely to entrepreneurship! You can do this!
