In this episode:
Michael E. Gerber coined the phrase “work on your business, not in it,” but what does this actually mean? Many entrepreneurs structure businesses around their skills, leaving little room for freedom and a work-life balance. So how can you create the life and business you desire?
Michèle Hecken has developed a proprietary offboarding process that reaches beyond mere task delegation. The approach begins by permitting yourself to relinquish your responsibilities. Fully offboarding yourself entails developing a vision for your life and business by discovering your passions, examining the status quo to implement company-wide change, providing executives with authority, accountability, and responsibility, and optimizing profits.
Tune in to this episode of Systems Simplified as Adi Klevit interviews executive coach and serial entrepreneur Michèle Hecken about offboarding yourself from your business. Michèle speaks about her motivation for launching a business at age 23, how to customize processes to align with business goals, and her step-by-step offboarding process.
