Slow Down to Speed Up - Overview

Do you know an entrepreneur who is so busy trying to get their business of the ground or make it grow that things don't actually happen?

I do, too. A lot of them, actually. See, that's kind of my thing. Small business owners, solopreneurs, coaches, and even small team managers reach out when they're too busy trying to make things better to actually spend time, you know, improving things.

Meanwhile their personal life suffers because they're too busy for family and friends, their team suffers from the thrash of near-constant upheavals, and their bottom line is shrinking, or worse, in the red.

That's why I came up with SLOW DOWN to SPEED UP.

It helps leaders figure out which specific behaviors are hampering their businesses (and lives), how to address those behaviors, and how to get to the desired flow state.

So what is it, exactly? In a few words, it's ...

SLOW DOWN (Current Undesired State)

• S – Stuck

• L – Lost

• O – Overcommitted

• W – Wasting

• D – Doubting

• O – Off-balance

• W – Winging-it

• N – Never-enough

SPEED UP (Desired Plan-Ahead State)

• S – Strategize

• P – Prioritize

• E – Evaluate

• E – Empower

• D – Delegate

• U – Utilize

• P – Perform

We'll go into each of these over a series of posts, which will later get turned into a book so that each topic's problem and remedy can be more fully explored.
