Have you ever noticed that entrepreneurs will scrimp and save every dollar they can but then fritter away hours of their time on unproductive (and often un-fun) activities that add nothing to their 1ncome?
Why IS that?!
The reasons are twofold. First, most business owners don’t truly know WHAT to do with their time, so they end up doing tasks that are either within their comfort zone or the ones they think they’re “supposed” to do.
Or, they focus their time on tasks that keep them busy, thus fulfilling their need to feel productive even though the results add little to their bottom line.
There’s also a hidden, secret reason women biz owners fritter away their time and it’s because of fear.
Getting a handle on your time means potentially challenging beliefs about being “nice,” being “helpful” and other typically feminine ideals.
What women entrepreneurs fear isn’t making necessary changes in our beliefs. We fear upsetting the apple cart, as in possibly hurting someone’s feelings, letting down someone we care about or appearing to be overly focused on success instead of relationships.
I had to face these same challenges as I grew my business first from low 6-figures into high 6-figures, and then when I made the leap into a million dollar business.
Here are three of my favorite strategies for focusing my time on the 6- and 7-figure tasks a million dollar business owner does, WITHOUT hurting anyone’s feelings or risking losing a valuable relationship. In fact, these strategies will help you be MORE available to the people you care about!

Hiring a virtual assistant (”VA”) is like any relationship. At first, you’re both feeling the love and everyone is happy. But after a few months you may start noticing tasks slipping through the cracks or that you’re having to spend as much time tracking your assistant’s tasks as you used to spend doing them yourself.
Nobody likes to be disappointed, especially when you’re investing in someone who is supposed to make your life easier.

A lot of spiritually oriented coaches, consultants and healers struggle with how to handle some of the messier money situations that often crop up in their businesses.
Situations such as how to handle refunds, product returns, guarantees or late payments can cause stress and eat up a lot of your precious energy, trying to figure out what to do.
Since my business model includes offering multiple streams of income and a fairly high sales volume I had to learn the hard way how to handle many of these uncomfortable situations.
Beyond just the mechanics of knowing what to do, you must also understand what the energy is BEHIND each of these situations. Once I figured that out, I was able to let go of any distress and instead, take an approach that keeps my energy and vibration high, positive and stress-free.
Since it’s likely that you too, will be faced with one of these situations, let me share with you three simple secrets that will help you keep your energy “clean” while still handling each situation like the savvy business woman I know you are!

I hear it all of the time. People ask me, “Kendall, I’m giving a teleseminar and I want to offer participants their choice of a coaching program, a teleseminar training series or an ebook. Which one should I mention first?”
Understandably, it’s a woman’s nature to offer lots of choices because in our hearts we want people to get exactly what they want.
Problem is, by offering so many choices, we overwhelm our listeners, making it preferable for them to say, “Let me think about it” instead of “Yes, sign me up!”
Yes, it’s tempting to say, “But Kendall, HOW do I know which is the one right choice to offer in my preview teleseminar?”
Let me share with you a simple way for you to decide which is the right offer to make to your audience, each time, every time.
