Ep. 128: Systems, Productivity and Your Side Hustle with Kerryn Hewson

 

Today I’m joined by Systems and Productivity expert – and mompreneur – Kerryn Hewson, and in this episode we’re going to dive into:

  • How Kerryn’s side hustle of novel writing combined with her corporate business analyst skills evolved into an online business that helps mompreneurs grow their businesses without sacrificing family.
  • Why it’s a great opportunity when you have small kids to start a business (even if it might not feel like it!)
  • Why it’s normal to start out doing everything in your business – and why it’s important to outsource earlier than you think!
  • Why having a schedule in place that works for you is so important.
  • Why it’s important to press the pause button on your business to develop systems and processes.
  • Kerryn’s process for helping her clients get organized so that you don’t do work that you then end up undoing!
  • Why you should automate before you outsource.
  • Why it’s so important to figure out your processes BEFORE you choose your automation tool.
  • Why people jump from tech tool to tech tool (and why it’s not the tool that’s the problem!)
  • The importance of connection and community when you’re just getting started in your business.
