Tyler and I just got back from a week-long babymoon -- that’s a vacation before your baby arrives if you’re new to the lingo like me. And I thought it would be fun to have him on and share what our biggest takeaways from this trip were as it relates to clockworking our own business. 

 

When I’m not around, the team challenges themselves to be more resourceful and autonomous (proud mama) — sometimes you need to leave to give them the confidence they need. Team actually feels the interruptions just as much as you do sometimes — they got so much accomplished while I was gone because they weren’t stuck in the deciding distractions all day long back and forth — that’s a huge inefficiency, whether it’s because you’re the one getting asked the questions or the one who can’t make decisions without someone else. So because they felt the confidence to keep moving forward and make decisions in their areas, it allowed them to more efficient and productive without me! I was able to be fully present this trip versus worrying and thinking about the business the entire time.

Time away always exposes the weaknesses and that’s the only way we can improve! Schedule your 1-week vacation NOW and let us know on IG (@rlclockwork)) what your biggest takeaway from this episode was!
