Reclaim 25 Hours a Week in Your Business with Kris Ward

“Business should be fun or we could have just stayed at that job. So let's have more fun.” - Kris Ward

In this week’s episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with team building and systems strategist, Kris Ward.

Kris shared her valuable insights on her ‘Win the Hour, Win the Day’ philosophy, which focuses on achieving a healthy work-life balance and implementing efficient systems for entrepreneurs.

We discussed some common mistakes that entrepreneurs often make, the concept of ambitions versus survival, tips on effective team management and the importance of fostering leadership within your team. We also talked about the benefits of ‘daily scrums’ and how they can greatly enhance productivity.?

Tune in to find out more and discover how you can reclaim your time and boost your team’s productivity and efficiency!

Key Takeaways:?

• By implementing efficient systems, empowering team members, and redefining traditional hierarchical structures, we can reclaim our time (up to 25 hours a week!), achieve our goals, and create a business that supports our life instead of consuming it.
• Even if we have ambitious goals, we should still be able to achieve them in a tight and effective manner. Kris suggests following the "win formula" of spending 60% of our time on creative work and 40% on administrative tasks.
• It’s important to build leadership within the team, regardless of the size of that team. By empowering team members with leadership responsibilities, they become more engaged and motivated to stay with the business long-term.

Quotes:?

“There's this belief that we can have the big business, we can get to seven figures, but that means we have to give more. And I often do a lot of work with women around dismantling this core belief, ‘I have to work harder in order to make more money.’” - Jessica Fearnley

“I mean, one of the biggest compliments I got throughout my life is, ‘oh, she's a hard worker’. And I remember saying to my mother one day, ‘oh my gosh, who knew I'd have to learn not to work so hard?’” - Kris Ward

“So [with daily scrums] it's really about moving projects super fast, efficiently, with no wastage. And it's not something that gets slipped through the cracks. … People really love the scrum meetings and how we've built them out more. They take about 15 minutes. They create leaders, they create projects that get done.” - Kris Ward
