The best way to schedule meetings as a busy business owner
Embrace Scheduling Tools & Leverage Automation: Ditch the email ping-pong! Utilize online scheduling tools like Calendly or Acuity Scheduling. These platforms allow you to set specific time slots for meetings, eliminating the back-and-forth and freeing up your time.
Respect Your Time & Prioritize ruthlessly: Block out dedicated time slots in your calendar for high-priority meetings. Avoid scheduling meetings back-to-back - leave buffer time in between to avoid feeling rushed and catch up on tasks. Learn to say no to requests that don't align with your priorities or schedule.
Set Clear Agendas & Encourage Preparation: Maximize meeting efficiency by sending out clear agendas beforehand. This ensures everyone arrives prepared and focused on achieving specific goals. Encourage attendees to come ready to contribute, fostering a collaborative and productive meeting environment.
Remember:
Purpose isn't a destination – it's a journey of continuous improvement.
By putting purpose at the heart of your business, you can make a positive impact, attract top talent, and build a thriving business that leaves a lasting legacy. Let's do good & do well together!
