Are you being efficient or effective? If you’re doing unimportant busy work super efficiently, you’re just really great at spinning your wheels, but if you’re executing the most important, revenue-generating, initiative-accomplishing, meaningful tasks in your business – then we’re getting somewhere!
When it comes to running a business, time is a precious commodity. By prioritizing revenue-generating tasks, you ensure that your time and resources are allocated to activities that directly contribute to the growth and profitability of your company. This can include focusing on high-impact projects, nurturing key client relationships, and optimizing your sales and marketing strategies.

Struggling with procrastination? There are two time-bound rules I use often in combination with a desktop timer. There are growth-oriented, productivity focused tips in this episode for high-achievers AND even the most type-B leaders.
Powerful Productivity Tips for CEOs:
- Efficiency and effectiveness are different and require prioritization, delegation, and setting boundaries for productivity.
- Implementing time-bound rules like the five-second rule and two-minute rule can prevent procrastination and increase productivity.
- Delegating tasks, categorizing based on urgency and importance, and using decision matrices can make room for bigger-picture goals.
- Prioritizing revenue-generating tasks can enhance business efficiency and profitability by focusing on impactful activities.
Caution: Only read ONE book or implement ONE productivity hack at a time to prevent overwhelm!

What does it look like to be a full-time freelance writer, build your own online brand, and be an active parent to 4 teenagers? Different from your business, for sure, but the lessons on time management, long-term initiatives, and distraction elimination are highly applicable.
Kevin Payne's transition from a traditional job to freelancing while managing a family of six and coping with ADHD reveals that anything’s possible when you prioritize self-awareness, mental health, and family values.
Through strategies like setting goals, minimizing distractions, and setting specific work hours, he has navigated the complexities of entrepreneurship, ADHD, and big family life.
Are You Prioritizing Work Over Life?
Kevin's journey to finding the right balance in work commitments and personal life underscores the importance of knowing when to set limits, taking time off to recharge, and continual self-improvement.
Our conversation highlights the importance of diversifying revenue sources for a successful business, from immediate income from freelance work to long-term passive income from personal projects.
Managing Your Time Effectively with Competing Priorities | The Highlights:
[00:10:44] Freelance Writing: Balancing Life and Work
[00:13:16] Optimizing Productivity with ADHD
[00:24:30] Navigating Time Management Challenges Working From Home
[00:35:43] Diversifying Income Streams
[00:44:02] Outsourcing to Avoid Overwhelm
[00:49:44] Big Family Budget Travel
Surviving the Hustle as a Solopreneur and Content Creator
Kevin leaves you with this gem, "The only way to have a bad launch is to not have one at all." as he strongly recommends outsourcing tasks such as podcast editing so you can remain focused on serving clients and growing your brand (I swear I didn’t tell him to say that!).
It all comes down to knowing what you’re good at, also known as your Zone of Genius from the book, The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. Anything that feels like a distraction or doesn’t directly fuel your gift should likely be delegated. What is 1 thing you can delegate today?
Strategies to Refine Your Focus:
- Develop routines (especially if you’re faced with ADHD tendencies), including taking time off to recharge and reflect
- Set your schedule with flex space between activities so you can adapt to changes in your family’s schedule while maintaining productivity when working from home
- Set limits in both personal and professional aspects to avoid burnout
- Diversify revenue sources inside each business and across sources
- Outsource tasks outside of your expertise to save time and mental energy
Thriving in the Delicate Equilibrium Between Immediate and Passive Income
Kevin knew he didn’t want to learn a completely fresh skill set to produce his show, but would rather hone his writing skills instead since that would benefit both his freelancing career and his own brand, Family Money Adventure.
After resisting becoming a “content creator” for a long time, Kevin’s big family, budget, and love for travel created an opportunity to share practical advice to help large families create meaningful travel memories without breaking the bank.

The toughest parts of entrepreneurship are at the intersection of personal and business growth. Self-awareness, structured routines, and maintaining a positive mindset in overcoming obstacles are must-have skills for business owners. By embracing these coping strategies, you (and I) can navigate business challenges with grace and resilience, ultimately paving the way for success and abundance.
Be honest; How often do you allow business challenges to consume you? Lacey calls it out in this episode, saying "There's no blank check for being miserable." Our conversation perfectly encapsulates the need to set boundaries and time limits for processing setbacks (or wins!), allowing room for growth and resilience. Find out and emulate her superb techniques for coping with news, maintaining mental health, taking care of herself, and ensuring productivity in her business
Lacey Langford, widely recognized as the military money expert, has developed a unique perspective on overcoming business challenges through her own experiences and personal growth. Lacey's approach to dealing with business challenges emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, prioritizing mental and physical health, and maintaining authenticity.
As the owner of MILMO and the Military Money Conference, she highlights the risks of overworking and burning out, suggesting that making space for personal needs can lead to increased creativity and improved business outcomes. With a strong belief in the power of individuality, Lacey encourages entrepreneurs to refrain from conforming to societal expectations, instead focusing on being their best selves. She values reflection on personal growth and accomplishments, no matter how small, as a continuous learning process to navigate and thrive in the business world.
Key Takeaways:
- Setting strong boundaries (using your calendar as a tool to help!) with your time reduces stress when you create intentional deep work blocks, breaks, and family/personal time.
- Getting a small dose of sunshine and fresh air helps “calm my crazy” so the next time you’re feeling scattered, aimless, stressed, lost, or unmotivated, step outside.
- If you find yourself on either end of the emotional spectrum for long periods (you define how long is too long), it might help to create rules for processing emotions within a designated time frame
- My best ideas, biggest ah-has, and most solid problem-solving hacks come to me when I’m out running, and apparently, that works for Lacey too.
- If you often feel intimidated at networking events or conferences, work toward approaching those you feel “smaller than” by offering value to their brand/business and boldly introducing yourself. That introduction might spur a beautiful business relationship and open the door for additional opportunities.

Must-Listen Moments:
00:05:25 - Coping Strategies
Lacey Langford shares coping strategies for dealing with stress and challenges in business, such as setting strong boundaries, taking time for mental health, creating rules for processing emotions within a designated time frame, and making space for personal reflection through activities like walking and running. She acknowledges the commonality of facing unexpected challenges in business and the need to navigate them without letting setbacks define the entire journey, showcasing a proactive approach to maintaining a balance between work and personal well-being. Lacey's insights shed light on the significance of coping strategies in managing stress and challenges, ultimately contributing to business success and overall growth.
00:09:22 - Productivity Methods
Lacey emphasizes the significance of setting strong boundaries and making time for mental health to enhance productivity and creativity. By incorporating activities like outdoor walks and utilizing productivity methods such as the Pomodoro technique, Lacey highlights the value of taking breaks and creating space for personal well-being. Lacey's practice of time blocking and adjusting schedules based on weather conditions is a great example of how we can all be more strategic about creating a harmonious work-life balance.
00:18:50 - Work-Life Balance
Work-life balance is crucial for productivity and well-being. According to Lacey’s experience, emphasizing the importance of mental health, physical health, and setting boundaries to avoid burnout is key. By making time for personal well-being, such as setting aside time for physical activity, you can enhance your creativity and overall performance in your professional endeavors. Implementing routines, like scheduling time for self-care and creating space for flexibility, can ultimately prevent stress and exhaustion, leading to a healthier work-life balance.
00:21:47 - Setting Boundaries in Coaching
Recognizing the intimate nature of financial coaching, Lacey made it her purpose to create a comfortable environment by setting boundaries to establish trust and ensure clients feel safe discussing personal matters. She’s found that more effective client outcomes are the result of establishing a coaching relationship around guiding because supportive environments (as opposed to judgemental ones) cultivate a space where individuals can openly address their financial challenges and goals without fear of criticism, leading to more effective coaching outcomes. This proactive approach to setting boundaries serves as a foundation for building trust and rapport, enabling both coach and client to work towards financial success collaboratively.
00:25:30 - Flexibility Through Boundaries
Setting boundaries in business and life allows for adaptability to unexpected events and opportunities. Lacey's experiences with staying true to her purpose amidst challenges and being open to opportunities showcase the importance of establishing boundaries to maintain flexibility and focus in achieving goals.
00:27:08 - Networking and Building Relationships
Networking and building relationships are crucial in seizing opportunities. Lacey recounts how attending a conference led to a significant opportunity, showcasing the value of networking and introducing oneself to industry influencers. Setting goals and boundaries, while remaining flexible, is key in navigating professional development and being ready to capitalize on unexpected opportunities that arise.
00:43:38 - Courage to Network and Put Yourself Out There
Having the courage to introduce yourself, pitch ideas, and network with successful people is essential for creating opportunities. By taking bold steps, you can attract the attention of individuals who can support and elevate your journey. It's not about being perfect, but about being proactive and showcasing your value to others, ultimately leading to beneficial collaborations and growth.
00:46:58 - Value in Providing Solutions
Presenting solutions to problems adds value to your business relationships and fosters positive opportunities. By offering solutions instead of just identifying issues, you’re intentionally building trust, positioning yourself for referrals, and establishing a reputation for reliability and credibility in their respective fields. This approach benefits clients and contributes to your personal growth and professional development by showcasing your problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset in various situations.

Surprisingly, most entrepreneurs aren’t exactly sure what milestones they want to reach when it comes to their business. Of course, they want to be successful and make money, but rarely can they pinpoint what they believe is enough to live life on their own schedule.
Some might measure success as having time to do whatever you please while others consider success to be the amount of profit your business makes. Creating the life you desire requires clearly defining what you want and knowing what numbers make the most sense financially both in life and in business.
In this episode, Rocky Lalvani, host of the “Profit Answer Man” podcast, reveals the trick to designing life with the end in mind, why knowing your numbers is critical to success, and how starting small lets you keep moving forward.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
- Reverse engineering business around your lifestyle
- Implementing a Profit-First approach
- Creating reasonable goals and planning to get ahead
Mentioned in this episode:
Book: Profit First
The Profit First method can benefit businesses in a variety of ways. By prioritizing profit, businesses are forced to operate more efficiently and make strategic decisions that prioritize long-term financial health.
Additionally, setting aside profit before anything else ensures that businesses have a cushion for unexpected expenses or economic downturns. Ultimately, the Profit First method can help businesses achieve sustainable growth and financial stability.
For more information on Profit First and how it can turn your business into a profit-making machine read these articles:
The Profit-First Method vs Traditional Accounting
How to Implement Profit First in Your Business
Benefits of Using Profit First in Your Business’s Finances
Must-listen moments:
[00:04:59] If you haven't defined the end, you can't technically reverse engineer it. Most people don't know what they want, don't define the end, or haven't taken the time to do that. When you take the time to do that, now you can start to say, is this taking me towards or away from what I want.
[00:11:24] It's how you build your business model and the intention you put into it, and learning not to listen or do what everyone else does. I think that's where people if they don't understand the numbers, they can't make the wisest decisions.
[00:29:56] Start small and let it build. Because when you start winning, you're going to continue to win.

Just because you hit rock bottom doesn’t mean you’re doomed to stay there forever. Instead, taking action and creating a new reality for yourself is entirely possible.
To change your lifestyle, consider what habits will support the shift you want to experience. It can be as small as setting a budget to climb out of debt or as big as starting your own business to be your own boss.
Most importantly, think big and get specific about what an abundant life would feel like and look like. Embody those qualities by dressing and speaking the part, and watch what opportunities unfold when you embrace this new way of being.
In this episode, Anthony Weaver, host of the “About That Wallet” podcast, talks with me about what inspired him to change his life drastically, how small habit shifts add up to big changes, and why you must always go for what you want.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
- Adopting a new persona from an abundance mindset
- Redesigning habits and boundaries
- Lessons from behind the mic
Resources mentioned:

Book: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R Covey
Book: The Power of Habit by Charles Duhig
Book: Start with Why by Simon Sinek
Book: The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris
Book: Never Split the Difference by Chriss Voss
Must-listen moments:
[00:10:50] For me to do that, I had actually to think about it. Okay, well, what does somebody who is happy in their life look like? What do they wear? What do they eat? What are their exercise routines? What type of habits do they have?
[00:36:00] I was shifting everything to be more convenient to me. And it wasn't convenient for the audience, but I'm finding new people in the new space, and it's almost like starting over again. I enjoy it a little bit more because it protects and sets more boundaries for my time.
[00:37:42] You will always beat yourself up over regrets…Don't shoot yourself first before you shoot your shot to somebody else.

When people think of abundance, they often associate it with finances, wealth, and money. But business owners who embrace an abundance mindset know it’s so much more than that.
Abundance can be in the form of being grateful you have the opportunity to create the business of your dreams, of being healthy enough to market yourself and network with clients. It can also be the acknowledgment that you can and should hire a team because you’re capable of producing more but need help to make it happen. Of course, many business owners struggle with the flip side of abundance, with imposter syndrome and the belief they’re not worthy of a life where they call the shots.
In this episode, Tiffany Grant, host of the successful podcast “Money Talk with Tiff” joins me to share how allowing herself to acknowledge her emotions and step into her worthiness has bolstered her business journey, the benefits of a CEO mindset, and how podcasting can level up an entrepreneur’s speaking and networking game.
In this episode, you’ll also hear:
- Moving forward with gratefulness and affirmations
- Permission to do less and stepping aside to scale
- Impact of podcasting on business growth and networking
Tools mentioned:
Notion helps keep Tiffany organized. (That’s her affiliate link, btw)
Must-listen moments:
[00:11:22] You need to figure out what you need to work on as a person and then build affirmations around that.
[00:31:07] We give ourselves all of the negative self-talk, and so, another thing that I kind of focus on is talking to myself like I'm a good friend versus talking to myself like I'm myself.
[00:44:40] Yes, I could do them, and I enjoy doing them, but I need to start thinking about what's the overall strategy for the business. What are the things that only the CEO could do or only the CEO knows how to do? And then all the other stuff that's teachable to start giving it up.

Podcasts have completely shaped my career path and who I am over the past 10 years. While that might strike you as a strong statement at first, you're invited to consider who and what most influences you and whether those are influences you choose and like or if they're haphazard and unintentional.
In this episode, I reveal that I actually launched a show under this name and feed back in 2018 as a financial coach. Now, I own a podcast production company, so what made me leap from financial coaching to podcast management?
Years ago, personal finance podcasts turned my life around, saving me and my family from a life of financial stress, creditor calls, and neverending money management woes. To say I was inspired is an understatement - so I began coaching other moms to pay down debt, open high-yeild savings account, and learn the basics of investing sothey could better their home and family finances like I'd learned from these amazing mentors who had been in my earbuds each week.
My journey showcases the transformative power of podcasts and highlights the importance of sharing free educational information about your services and products. Podcasts really do attract your ideal client and change lives.
Soon after launching my own show in 2019, clients' podcasts took priority, and Podcast Abundance was founded. Since then, I've had the honor of being behind the-scenes of other personal finance, medical, investing, and business podcastsand I have overcome plenty of entrepreneurial challenges on my own. But I've learned first-hand how important it is to lean on and learn from your community.
So, I'm bringing some of the smartest, most successful entrepreneurs I know to your ears each week in an effort to help you skip past obstacles faster, implement systems or pivot more quickly, and feel less alone as you grow your business.
Listening to podcasts enabled me to take extreme action because of the educational content I suddenly had access to. How might you change peoples' lives with your podcast?

Networking, delegation, and self-care are key to success as a business owner.
Early on, I operated in a silo – head down and very achievement-focused. However, as I great professionally and personally, I learned that by building a network of achievement-oriented business owners, you can tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience. These individuals can provide valuable advice, support, and even potential collaborations or partnerships that can help you skip ahead.
My other big lesson over the past 4 years is one I’ve had to learn over and over – delegation. It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to do everything yourself. However, by delegating tasks to capable team members or outsourcing to experts, you can free up your time to focus on strategic planning and business development. If you’re too busy performing operations inside your business, you won’t have capacity for the BIG work like seeking feedback, analyzing data, and adapting strategies.
Last, but not least, roll your eyes if you want, but I’ve suffered the consequences for NOT leaning into self-care enough. So, taking care of my physical and mental condition is back at the top of my list. One more hour or one more checked-off task isn’t going to change things, but a level-headed, open-minded, peaceful CEO who can look at the big picture critically will.
Key Takeaways:
- The importance of self-care and daily habits to respond to tough situations, delegate tasks, and constantly improve
- The value of building a network of achievement-oriented business owners for advice, accountability, and support
- The significance of delegation, systems, and constant improvement to grow as a business owner
(00:03:18) "That decision to pivot and the acceptance of the rhinoceros size push the universe was giving me toward the podcast editing space would launch me on a personal development journey wrapped up in a quest for leadership and business operations knowledge with sprinkles of mindset, self-worth, and growth-oriented habits on top."
(00:08:15) "The important things, though, are what I've learned to do when things get tough. There are simple, small daily habits that when I do them consistently, no matter whether I'm up or down that day, I respond in a more level headed manner. I'm more discerning as to what really matters and what doesn't and I'm clearer on the actions I need to take to move forward."
(00:12:46) "Reaching abundance isn't just a woo woo show about higher power and meditating and manifesting money. Although I practice a bit of woo myself, reaching abundance is about pulling collective wisdom from an open-minded circle of entrepreneurs, learning to trust your instincts and growing into the person you want to become."
I shared a few of my mistakes as a business owner in this episode. There are definitely more to come! Did you make the same mistakes? Or perhaps different ones? I’d love to know your past and present challenges so I can address them in an episode.

Balancing business demands and personal life can be a tricky tightrope to walk for entrepreneurs. The constant juggling act of managing a business, meeting deadlines, and still finding time for family and self-care can be overwhelming. However, finding the right balance is crucial for long-term success and overall well-being.
This podcast explores entrepreneurs' challenges in balancing business demands, personal life, and client needs. Guests share their experiences and insights on overcoming obstacles and growing a successful business.
My guests and I emphasize the importance of mindset and habit shifts, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and building a supportive community. Listeners are encouraged to apply the practical strategies and tools shared by successful entrepreneurs to achieve their own success and abundance.
(00:00:36) "The shift, however, is in realizing that everyone else is actually cheering you on. You think they want you to fail, and if they do, they aren't your people."
(00:06:39) "We are all on the journey toward abundance. Together, we're making decisions, dealing with obstacles, and growing daily."
You're invited to tag along with me, Virginia Elder, host, and owner of Podcast Abundance, as I learn what's working for other 6-7-figure business owners who use podcasting as their business' primary marketing arm. Here, we get to learn how they navigate challenges, get tips to implement in our own businesses, and feel reassured that we aren't the only ones experiencing imposter syndrome, wondering where the next client will come from, and trying new systems to move us closer to our goals.
I launched a show under this same name in 2019, but much has changed since then and I no longer want to talk about personal finances. I believe this show can make a much bigger impact on a larger scale as we tackle entrepreneurial challenges, build a supportive business-minded community, and choose to grow personally as much as we do professionally.
