you must make it.” – Charles Buxton

Office Hours & Expectations are Essential

When setting office hours, think about team size, location, and your schedule

Communicate to them what to expect Make sure they have realistic

expectations Stick to them, if you don’t your team

won’t Remember what we allow, we teach Thirty-One hat comes OFF when office

hours are over

Why does your personal

business have to come before

team business?

“Visualize a wagon wheel as a complete team. A leader might be the hub of the wheel at the center. Now suppose the spokes are the connecting relationships the leader is building with people on the outer rim of the wheel. If the hub is removed, then the entire wheel collapses. In a situation like that, if a team loses the leader, the entire team collapses.” -Coach K

Plan what you will do and do what

you plan. Failing to plan is the same

as planning to fail!

“Those who make the worst of their

time most complain about its

shortness.” – La Bruyere

What you DO, not what you INTEND to do makes you successful!

Put the BIG Rocks in First

1. Shows (5 hrs)2. Booking Shows (2 hrs)

3. Hostess Coaching (1 hr)4. Recruiting Calls (1 hr)

5. Coaching Calls (as needed)

The Pareto Principle

20% of Your Team = 80% of Your

Profits

The key to using the 80/20 rule is to focus on the 20 percent who are

presently producing while not forgetting the

80 percent who may produce in the future.

Points to Ponder When dealing with your team ALWAYS match

effort with effort! Not everyone deserves, wants, or needs

equal time from you. You cannot work her business more than she

is willing to work it. You cannot make her want it and you cannot push someone UP a ladder.

Set phone appointments & you call them!!! Understand that as you grow & promote your

priorities will change and eventually you will shift to a heavier team business than personal.

Are You Using Your Time Wisely?

Ways to Make MORE Time

Book smarter by booking at parties, saves you time on booking calls

Hire an assistant for non revenue jobs Have your kids help, it teaches them a

strong work ethic and Ashton really enjoys stamping and labeling my stuff!

Partner with your partner - Mike is VERY active doing things for my 31 business behind the scenes (tech stuff, helping around the house, kids, etc)

Time Saving Tips Use an email system and set it to

autorespond (Constant Contact or Mail Chimp)

Calendar blocking is key (green shows, red family, etc)

The more you communicate with your team, the less time you spend answering questions

Point them to the answer and teach them to fish (TOT, emails, etc)

Time Saving Tips Focus on single tasking - you may be

doing more than one thing at a time but are you doing them all well?

Be prepared for downtime/plan ahead Look for holes in your daily/weekly

schedule and find ways to fill them (carpool line, dr office, dance class, etc)

Bring the post office home Eat your frog first each day

A Day in the Life of Me
