I’ve been back from my vacation for 10 days.
And you know what?
Yesterday was the first time I had zero meetings all day.
Since I got back, meetings have bombarded me.
I’ve had sales calls, client calls, and even software company calls (where I’m being sold instead of doing the selling).
Most days, I had 2 to 4 hour-long meetings per day.
If you string together 4 hour-long meetings it doesn’t leave you much time to, well, work.
Well that all changed yesterday:
I had no meetings.
And I accomplished far more during my working hours than I had in any other day since I got back from vacay.
Here’s why I bring it up:
You need to have meetings in your business. That’s obvious.
Especially if you offer an expensive service (like yours truly) or if you have an in-depth sales and onboarding process (again, like yours truly).
But too many meetings will nuke your time, your freedom, and your impact.
Here’s my suggestion:
Ruthlessly cut any meeting out of your schedule that doesn’t support your goals.
Otherwise, you’ll end up working 10+ hour days with nada to show for it.
Because while meetings are helpful — especially meetings with clients to discuss projects and meetings with leads to transform them into clients — they’re also a massive time suck.
Anywho:
If you wanna have more time for pointless meetings because you’re making so much money via email you don’t know how else to spend your day…
…book a discovery call here.
We’ll hop on a short call to see if we’re a good fit.
But heed this cully:
I’ve spent enough time in meetings over the last week and a half. So here’s all I ask from you:
Don’t book a meeting just to “see what I can do.”
I only wanna work with other businesses who:
1. Have a proven offer and an email list
2. Need immediate help with their email strategy
3. Will give me full freedom to work as I see fit
Capisce?
John
