Dr. Sabrina explains the difference between time capacity for the entrepreneur and business capacity for serving clients. Dr. Sabrina shares how she lost some clients when she first started adding to her team and how that turned out to be a GOOD thing. Make sure that as we’re bringing in A-players to our team that we’re inviting them to work with our best clients and customers, and that we have that sweet spot clearly defined. Inflection point is that moment of total recognition that how we’re doing things now no longer serves us and is not sustainable to our growth. Getting to the palace of comfort in our business opens up more capacity to do more new things. As entrepreneurs, we tend to be impatient. We want things done, and we want them done now. We get frustrated when things don’t happen on our timeline. We can ask ourselves what is the real harm in pushing goals out? It is not procrastination; it is making a thoughtful choice toward making a bigger impact. What opportunities are created if we give ourselves more time? Having a full pipeline of people who want to come work for you gives you the advantage of more easily bringing in more A-players when you’re ready to take on more clients that are within your sweet spot. Tap the Potential’s Better Business, Better Life™ program has identified steps to take so that you can free up more of your time and get to that point where you have the time to analyze the top clients and do your wish-list interviews. Dr. Sabrina explains that there is a way to set up your pipeline to weed out unqualified leads and attract the qualified leads. Flipping the switch: moving from the business owner who does everything to empowering your key team members in making decisions based on the immutable laws of your business. Dr. Sabrina walks through the steps it takes to get to the “flipping the switch” moment. Links and Resources: Taking care of yourself is important now more than ever.
