Website woes and confessions in the Buckets & Boom Gates Studio with Kim White & Jill Olish. Where it started for us was very different than where we are today.

• Connect with your audience by sitting on their side of the keyboard and asking what is it that they're looking for?
• Different styles of search - on a computer with a keyboard, on your phone with the keypad and speech to text
• You really have to think about where your people are and how they are asking their questions
• It's really creating the best piece of content for those sets of words that are going to represent what you want to represent

A lot of times we're looking for easy and we skip the thing that's right in front of us that actually would give us a huge impact. Keep it simple because none of us need complicated.

Welcome to the Buckets and Boom Gates Studio with Kim White and Jill Olish. This week's conversation in the Team Series dives deeper into delegating. They discuss how delegating can bring time back to your schedule that you need for doing business or doing life. Listen along for some more confessions.

• People take it lightly to delegate something
• Delegate something the right way, brings time back to your schedule that you need for doing business or doing life
• Do you want to delegate something because you want more to do?
• Knowing why you're going to delegate something will help you know where to start delegating
• Start with what's going to benefit you the most in time
• We need to also consider what's going to help us make more money
• You're building a business that's going to support your life, an entire other family or an entire team of families
• Trading time for money
• When it is past time to delegate
• Humans supporting and helping is what delegation looks like
• So hard conversations come with delegation

Knowing these things before you start to delegate will keep you from giving up and encourage you to keep looking for the right person for your team. Start practicing delegating now, write down the processes in your business now, it actually can be easier to delegate when you do it from the beginning.

Welcome to the Buckets and Boom Gates Studio with Kim White and Jill Olish. This week's conversation in the Team Series is focused on the right, or wrong, ways to delegate. Kim shares some confessions on the wrong ways to delegate. And together Jill and Kim discuss gaining more time back for you as the owner versus spending all your time doing all the little things in your business. Keep listening to hear their own trials learning how to get support from others.

• One of the worst ways to delegate
• Assuming someone else knows what you know
• Your business owns you because you can't delegate
• Asking questions means my instructions aren't clear
• An assistant of any kind is for the purpose of delegating to them something that takes something off you as the owner's plate
• Delegating because we don't like something is a great place to start
• The hardest place to start when you start delegating
• Trying to cut the cost in the wrong place
• A team supports my calendar so that the business can run without me

So delegation to, Kim and Jill, is the key to setting things in motion. It's just knowing how to delegate and when to delegate because, without it, it's not possible to have a business that doesn't own you.

Join us next week for another episode in the Team Series.
