The Biz Tasks I do every AM

Wonder how the heck to fit in ALL THE THINGS into your day? Well, I am here to tell you that I grew my full-time business in small cracks in the morning when I had about 90 minutes of time. (And that includes the weekends off!)

These are the exact steps I take EVERY morning Monday thru Friday to nurture and grow my business.

  1. Always put yourself first. It increases confidence, creativity, and motivation! (You can grab my full personal AM routine here)
  2. Use 30-60 minutes each day for your VIP (Very important income-producing tasks); That way the rest of the day is a bonus if you have more time!

What are income-producing tasks you ask? Ask yourself, is this going to help moving your business forward? Example: Website updates (sometimes); Direct messages (almost all the time)

These are my exact VIP tasks every AM:

  • Answer all messages/emails / DM’s. That is how I measure if my business is moving forward. I always want to be connecting and networking.
  • Check-in on current clients. They are the most important.
  • Network. (This means following up on podcast pitches, FB groups, commenting on my community posts etc.)
  • BONUS: Dive into my 30- minute social media strategy (which I talk about on episode 027 of the podcast.

My philosophy is to pour my best energy into the most important tasks every am at a minimum 4 days a week. Then use Friday as a catch-up day and take weekends off.

I am telling you, even the smallest strategy works. And this one for sure does!

How can you work this into your morning routine?
