If you have to think about where to start to execute your staging or other projects as they come, then it is high time to do away with that limiting act.

Limiting I say? Yes it is. I know that from making my first five-figure the month I started to implement a standard operating procedure.

Whether you are in the growth or accelerate phase, if you do not have one already, my top recommendation is to establish a project management tool and system now.

For mundane tasks, consistency helps. For a staging business with repeated actions, you can imagine how consistency in these processes can lead to a faster, smoother project completion.

Rather than try to scheme out a workflow for every project or meeting, you can kick start each one from the same place, establishing a routine that can be finetuned until it perfectly serves your needs. Moreover you can fully utilize the features of a project management - task assignment, tags, and setting priorities to keep your team (or yourself) on track.

You’ll learn to simplify tasks, reduce redundancy, and ultimately scale your business faster by maximizing a project management tool like I do.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• My favorite project management tool and why
• How to choose a project management tool that is best for you
• How we use our project management tool at Rethink Home Interiors
• My recommendation if you have a project management tool already

Google products have been a game changer for my business; Google Calendar especially.

Periodic evaluations of whether I have the right tool for delivering the best service at Rethink You leaves me satisfied with all that Google Calendar offers, and much more than my team can do with it.

You might think it is all about scheduling. For a staging business owner, it’s more than that! It’s about seamless team collaboration and coordination on the go. Imagine having a complete overview of your team's availability, client bookings, and appointments—all in one place on the cloud. That is a mind blowing safe and easy way to free up brain space for more important details.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on all the ways Google Calendar powers the smooth running of my business.

Hopefully, you see it as a valuable tool to streamline your operations too.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• All the ways we use Google Calendar at Rethink Home Interiors
• Creative ways to utilize Google Calendar beyond simple scheduling.
• How to seamlessly integrate Google Calendar with other tools to enhance your workflow.
• How incorporating Google Workspace can revolutionize your staging business
