How I Hacked Productivity in 2023

Hi Fam,

Thanks for joining me for another Sunday-Funday morning tea.

This past year I’ve been thinking a lot about productivity and how to make the most of my time as a self-employed business owner.

Being a salaried employee is mega-chill.

You get paid no matter what.

You get paid if you:

• Take a sick day

• If you take a short vacay

• Being on social media at work

• Lunch breaks

• Coffee breaks

• Even if you’re not being productive at work

As a business owner, I only get paid if I’m being productive.

That means getting client work done and delivered.

No one pays you to:

• Do outreach

• Marketing

• Write newsletters

• Have exploration calls

• Do your accounting (I especially dislike this one)

Anyway, you get the gist.

So, as you may assume, being productive is kind of a big deal if I want to make a decent living as an independent agent or agency owner. Which is why I have worked so hard this year at maximizing my output and hack my productivity.
