What’s Currently Going On Behind The Scenes of My Business

Free and Fearless - A podcast by Lidiya Kesarovska

Today on the show, I talk about all the changes I’m making and the things happening behind the scenes of my business. I love sharing that and I know it can be so valuable because it gives you an idea of what you might be doing some time from now, it can help you see what aspect of your business you might be neglecting and change your strategy, or just motivate you to set new goals or finally take care of something that hasn’t been going well such as email marketing or your product suite or your content marketing plan. If you’re new here and don’t know what business I’m talking about, that’s 2 in 1, a blogging and a course creation business, and I also teach bloggers and course creators how to do the same. It’s just my jam to learn the ins and outs of something, make mistakes, get some results, and then teach others how to do it smarter and with less confusion. Tune into the episode below or scroll down to read the article:   Show Notes: * How many hours I work per day now * What exactly I do during them * The 2 groups of people I’m serving and the 2 success paths I created for them * How I restructured my website based on that * What I deleted and updated inside my email marketing tool * How I plan to update and grow my affiliate program Transcript New work schedule One big change I made recently is to start working on my business for a minimum of 5 hours every workday no matter what. That’s a big deal because all the freedom I had got me to a point where I was mixing personal growth with actual business activities, wasn’t working many days in the week, and of course the income was affected by that.  So to get back into a routine and reach the big goals that I have, I needed some discipline. Now those 5 hours are a non-negotiable and I accomplish so much. My brain quickly got used to the new daily schedule and I also feel more satisfied by the end of the day. As for what I do in those 5 hours, well I decided the first one is for answering emails, anything email marketing related, administration, research, etc. Basically, all the tasks that don’t fall into the 2 other categories I’ll tell you about. This first hour is also a great way to ease into the actual work that follows in the next 4. So, the next 2 hours out of the 5 are for the course business, and the final 2 for the blogging business. This works so well. I also wanted my mind to be on the business more these months after having many months with little work in the spring and summer and taking it easy.  So even if one weekday now I work more than 5 hours, which is totally okay of course – I always let inspiration guide me, that doesn’t mean the next day I’ll do less. A non-negotiable means it’s happening no matter what, and now, that means 5 hours of focused work every weekday. So if you aren’t seeing any growth in your business, have lost the spark, lack dedication or else, why not try something like that? Even if you’re still at your day job, you can imitate that sort of discipline by dedicating 1 or 2 hours in the early morning or in the evening, and more hours in the weekend. But make it a non-negotiable if you wanna make it work. Now let’s get to the juicy part.
