Onboarding

A discovery call is a crucial opportunity to understand your client’s challenges, identify weak spots, and uncover potential time-wasters in their current processes. Here's a structure you can use to help clients assess their situation: 1. Introduce the Purpose of the Call Explain that the goal is to understand their business, identify areas for improvement, and help streamline their processes. Establish a sense of collaboration to create a comfortable environment for open discussion. 2. Ask About Current Pain Points Example Questions: What specific challenges or obstacles are you facing in your business right now? Are there recurring issues that seem to drain your time or resources? Can you identify any specific tasks or areas that seem less efficient than they should be? 3. Assess Processes and Time Management Dive into how the client allocates time across various tasks. Example Questions: Which tasks take up most of your time during the day? Are they essential to your goals? What activities do you feel could be automated or delegated? Are there any tasks you frequently do that you find yourself questioning their value? 4. Evaluate Team Dynamics (if applicable) Look into whether there are inefficiencies in team collaboration. Example Questions: How does your team communicate and collaborate on projects? Are there bottlenecks or delays that affect productivity? 5. Analyze Tools and Technologies Identify if existing tools and systems are contributing to inefficiencies or creating unnecessary complexity. Example Questions: What tools or software are you currently using? Are they meeting your needs? Are there any tools or processes that feel outdated or cumbersome? 6. Focus on Results and Impact We Investigate how the client measures success and whether they are getting the expected results from their efforts. Example Questions: Are the current processes delivering the results you want? What would you prioritize to improve if you could focus on one area to increase productivity or profitability? 7. Look for Time-Wasters or Low-Value Activities Encourage the client to consider tasks or habits that may be consuming time but yielding little in return. Example Questions: Are there activities or projects that feel like a waste of time or are not contributing to the larger goals? How do you prioritize tasks on a day-to-day basis? 8. Summarize and Offer Solutions After gathering this information, summarize the client’s challenges and potential weak spots. Propose areas where they could make improvements or leverage new tools or strategies to address their pain points. 9. Set Next Steps Establish a clear action plan moving forward. Offer to provide a more detailed assessment, recommend tools, or suggest ways to streamline operations based on your findings. By conducting a discovery call in this way, you'll help your client gain clarity about inefficiencies and time-wasters, setting the stage for a more productive, results-driven approach to their business.

The Brainy Brunch 

Transitioning (no not that lol)

 We are moving to a Word Press site, and this is one reason we haven't posted in a while. 

I will be blogging at our new site and will continue every Monday. 

Please visit:  New Site

On these posts, I will try to pour out my heart and serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at the same time. 

Hopefully, some of the content hits home. We are not put on this earth to just exist as a cosmic accident. If this is your truth, I would love to offer you a better way of living. Not only that, since you are not a clump of cells but are a being created in the image of God and have an eternal destiny. Make sure that you know the right way to live, exist, and be. 

Your Office SOS

We are here to help solopreneurs get started in their business. However, once the business gets rolling, things begin to become too much for one person to handle. Unfortunately, the solopreneur is struggling working too much time in their business and not enough time on their business. Thus they begin to drown. They go under in the waves of details and begin to sink. They need to call for help. 

That's when Your Office SOS comes to the rescue. We bring a 100 years of experience to the rescue. We look at the client's workflow and find things we can do for them. We can take enough off their plate to give them time to get ahead of the competition. We also strive to free them so they can take a day off. No one can work a peak proficiency 24/7 365. 

So before you drown in a sea of stress, call Your Office SOS, and we'll turn your life from "crappy to happy."

Things Fall Apart

We live in an age of misunderstanding, distrust, and animosity. How are we going to get along with each other in the world if we have the same conflicts with our next-door neighbor?  

We are as divided as no time that I can ever remember. Politically and religious differences were always there. But in the 1950s, it seemed to start to unravel. First, by 1964, we had race riots and then anti-war protests. This chaos all seemed to culminate in 68 (hey, that rhymes; it could be a slogan) with the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Then it blew up at the democratic convention. 

The summer of  69' took the heat of things for a while. Maybe the race to the moon and Woodstock unified us somewhat. That didn't last long. It seemed we settled down a little for the next 30 years: no significant upheavals and the like. Things were not smooth, but it wasn't quite the wild rollercoaster ride. The boomers were too preoccupied with growing up. 

Then 9/11 hit at the beginning of the new millennium. Again, the U.S. had a common enemy. They were the Dixie Chicks and Sadam Hussain. Even those two mentioned had nothing to do with the terrorist attacks (a good misdirection always quiets the masses). 

Lately, Trump has helped call attention to the great divide we formed. President Obama had little interest in uniting us; he only agitated the divide and used it to his advantage. He learned from the feat of his masters, Jeremiah Wright and Saul Alinsky. 

Now we are at polar opposites, and no compromise seems possible. The middle has eroded, and things are going to boil over. We can't agree on basics like what is a life, what is a person's sex, and what is a pandemic. 

I took the blog title from the novel Things Fall Apart One of Chinua Achebe's many achievements in his acclaimed first novel, Things Fall Apart, is his relentlessly unsentimental rendering of Nigerian tribal life before and after the coming of colonialism. First published in 1958, just two years before Nigeria declared independence from Great Britain, the book eschews the obvious temptation of depicting pre-colonial life as a kind of Eden. Instead, Achebe sketches a world in which violence, war, and suffering exist, but are balanced by a strong sense of tradition, ritual, and social coherence.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20.

Live with intention.

Make an impact in the world. Don't sit back and wait until tomorrow. The time we live in is exciting and adventurous. Of course, it's scary, but put that in perspective, when has it not been a scarry time since the garden of Eden. 

There is no time to take action and make your mark like the present. Just do something, try, fail, or succeed, and you will be moving forward. Be proactive and live your life to its fullest. The Lord Jesus had a lot to say about the wise use of your talents and abilities. 

Make your time on this side of eternity count for something. Find your purpose and make it happen. I said purpose, not find your passion. Following passions is dangerous and transitory. Passion follows a good purpose.
