Figuring out what to prioritize in your business can be challenging.

There are short term priorities that you have to identify on a day-to-day basis, but before you can do that, you need to get clear on your goals and long-term priorities.

So what do you need BEFORE you set goals/long-term priorities in your business? Have a listen!

If you identify with the title "creative entrepreneur" or "creative business owner" instead of CEO, you still need a weekly CEO Day.

Regardless of how what business title you ascribe to, if you enjoy learning new skills and taking in new information for the business, there's high chance you get side-tracked.

✨Learn about how a CEO Day can help you focus and stay on track by joining the Becoming the CEO weekly email series (link in bio).

As business owners and CEOs, we're constantly juggling all of the tasks, activities, and responsibilities of our business.

We're also trying to stay sane - but often the constraints (or lack) of time drive us absolutely NUTS.

🕰 All we want is more time - time to serve our clients, time to work on those necessary but forgotten projects, time to sleep, time to spend with family, time to grow our business, time time time time.....

At the very least, we want to have better time management so we can better use the time we DO have. But it's so hard when there's so much we want to do each day.

➡️ Quite simply, time management is the bane of our existence.

And yet...

➡️ Time and time management is ✨ object of all our desires ✨ because we know what it can do for us and our business.

⭐️ Using our time effectively in our business makes us more confident in our role as CEO and allows us to show up 100% for our clients and our business.

Is time management a perfect science? No. Will we have some hic ups along the way? Sure.

('L*z be real - even though Kate and Anthony are happily in love, Kate said it herself - "You know there will never be a day where you do not vex me" 🤣)

Time management is a learning and growing process - and we'll be all the better for it as we run our businesses.

✨ If you're living in the "Bane of my existence" headspace when it comes to time management (but desiring it all the same), schedule discovery call with me.

I help business owners make impact in their businesses and regain their sanity, clarity, and time back by designing CEO days + weekly CEO schedules. Link in bio.

Let's unpack this a little bit 🤣

In order to make time in your week, you need to use your time effectively and efficiently.

To be more effective and efficient, you need a bit of structure and predictability so you can plan ahead.

When you plan ahead, you spend less time frantically chasing after things and more time actually DOING.

So.

➡️ You've got to pause and take some time out of your week to plan and strategize IN ORDER to use the rest of your week effectively.

You're probably wondering, "BUT HOW can I take this time out of my ALREADY busy week? How do I MAKE time?"

Breathe.

You need 2 things:

⭐️ WEEKLY CEO DAY
This is the time you're taking OUT of the week to plan, strategize, and get your house in order. Get the big picture perspective of what's going on in your business so you can respond more effectively during the week.

⭐️ CEO SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK
This is how you MAKE time during the rest of your week. Use time blocking and day theming to structure your week.

If you're thinking, "Okay, well I see the value in this Ashley, but I'm getting overwhelmed just thinking about doing all of this myself...so I'm going to stick with what I'm doing."

🛑 STOP RIGHT THERE
There's a better solution than just keeping things in the stressful mess they are.

➡️ Schedule a discovery sales call with me to talk about a Design My CEO Day. It's the VIP Day experience to help you make more time in your week. Link in bio.

You're the CEO of your business, no matter how big or small it is.

The CEO title isn't just reserved for the business giants out there. You are CEO in your own right - regardless if you have a team or not, if you've been in business for 1 year or 10+.

Yes, you're still a [insert your industry niche title], BUT calling yourself a CEO will change the way you think and work.

It'll elevate the way you approach things in your business, from how you interact with clients to making those big decisions for the business.

To start stepping into and owning your CEO role, you need 2 things:

1️⃣ Clear vision and direction so you can set strategy, make plans, and get moving.

2️⃣ CEO Schedule + Weekly CEO Day so you have time to implement that vision and all your plans while still honoring your time, energy, and expertise.

You ready to elevate your approach to business and start feeling like the CEO but not sure where to begin? Schedule a discovery call with me and let's figure it out together. Link in bio.

Do you feel like you're constantly reacting to things in your business instead of actually making meaningful headway and impact?

❌ SIGNS YOU'RE IN REACTIVE MODE
🔻 Everything feels like a hot mess. All the time.
🔻 You drop what you're doing for clients
🔻 There's no time to pause
🔻 Your schedule is constantly changing week-to-week
🔻 Most of the time you don't know which way is up

✅ SIGNS YOU'RE BEING PROACTIVE
✔️ You've built in weekly time to strategize and plan
✔️ You know the difference between productive busy vs. chaos busy
✔️ There's consistency and flow to your schedule
✔️ Your "ducks" are in a row and you know what's coming next
✔️Client work has its own time and place - boundaries are everything!
✔️ You're able to anticipate needs and prepare for potential gaps in your business

Here's the thing...proactive doesn't mean you've got it all figured out and smooth sailing 100% of the time.

➡️ Proactive means that you have the structure and systems in place so that when things do get messy, you are confident in your ability to handle things and get back on track.

➡️ Proactive means you have the space and time in your schedule to reflect on what's going well, what's not working, problem solve, and set strategy/make plans for the future...all so you can get after your dreams.

👉🏻 So how do become more proactive?

The easiest place to start is have a model CEO week schedule to work off of plus regular time set aside each week for a CEO Day.

Want to learn more about how a model CEO week and a CEO Day can empower you to be more proactive for your business?

Wondering if Design My CEO Day is for you? Swipe through to read about Karen's experience.

Karen is a marketing strategist and the CEO of Walkabout Digital Designs. She's multi-passionate, a creative thinker, and ever so kind and generous with both her time and expertise.

Karen is a highly creative person but thrives when she has framework to focus her energy. I knew that she needed to have the space and freedom to be creative, but also enough structure to keep her on task and moving the needle in her business.

An Aussie native living in the U.S., the majority of Karen's team lives on the other side of the world, adding additional challenges to her time management.

During her day we...
✅ Built her CEO schedule with a mix of time blocking and day theming

✅ Created work block activities to minimize the time lost each day trying to figure out what to do

✅ Prioritized family time - weekly coffee shop co-working dates with her daughter and monthly golfing outings with her husband!

✅ Put in healthy boundary steps so she can communicate and manage her team in Australia while working in a different time zone - without loosing sleep!

✅ Built a weekly CEO day and custom agenda so Karen could take a step back from being IN her business to work ON her business.

✅ Addressed her concerns about follow through by setting up a weekly CEO reflection form to automatically appear in her inbox the morning of her CEO day.

I loved working with Karen and I can't wait to see how her business grows and flourishes as a result of this newfound freedom-giving schedule and CEO day!

This ranks as one of my top 5 "I MUST BE DREAMING!" moments!

⭐️ I am SO honored and excited to share my guest episode on The Elevate Effect podcast!

I share about this in the episode, but I had found Courtney and the Elevate Effect before I had even considered starting my own business via a blog post about ClickUp.

I soon became a big fan of Courtney and Team EE and was so thrilled when Team EE launched their podcast this summer.

When the opportunity to pitch for the podcast came about, I threw caution to the wind and thought, "So many people are going to pitch for this - there's zero chance I'll land it, but it's excellent practice to pitch!" So I filled out my application and went about my business.

And then I got the email inviting me to record an episode with Courtney.

I shrieked.

VERY LOUDLY. 🤣

I think I reined in the fangirling when we recorded...but I know I had a hard time focusing the whole time in my excitement. 😅🤣

➡️ While Courtney's an expert at what she does and a leading authority in ClickUp and systems, she's is also one of the most generous and supportive CEOs out there. (And she loves Harry Potter as much as I do.)

⭐️ We discuss ⭐️
✔️ Why having a vision for your business is so important
✔️ Simplifying and prioritizing planning for your business
✔️ VIP Days & more!
(Our love of ClickUp definitely creeps in too 😉)

🎙 The episode is streaming on all major podcast platforms - the link is also in my bio and story highlights.

Now excuse me while I go fangirl some more.

🦆Are your business ducks in a row? Are they even in the same pond? Or is your pond suspiciously empty? 😬

Whatever stage your business is at right now, I guarantee there are wins and strengths that you're not aware of (yet).

And even if your ducks aren't in a row or even in the pond yet, there are tangible things you can do to get moving in the right direction.

➡️ It might feel really difficult and counterintuitive, but challenge yourself to press pause and take some time to really reflect on where your business is at the moment.

➡️ If you keep pushing yourself forward with no real plan, you're going to find you hit a brick wall eventually. The way you operate will no longer be sustainable, and you'll be burnt out and unable to serve your clients well.

This is why all those airline safety videos tell you in the event of oxygen masks being needed, you have to put yours own first before helping those around you.

➡️ If you don't take care of your business (and yourself) first, you can't serve your clients well.

So take some time to figure out what "duck stage" you're at and what things you can be doing to make positive impact in your business.

☎️ I help my clients "wrangle and find" their ducks so they can grow as CEOs of their business. If you want help moving your ducks into position, book a discovery call with me to get started. Link in bio.
