To have a financially sustainable business will require you to have a sustainable time/energy management structure for you to work on your business. I'll call that your "joyful productivity structure". What does that look like for you? Comment below and share with us anything you'd like to share about your structure. Resource to help you create -- and keep integrity with -- your joyful pro structure: The 111 Formula -- Go to the BizPlan course and scroll down to the 111 Formula Module. The Weekly Plan -- Go to Joyful Pro course and scroll down to the module "Weekly Planning". The Q&A calls with me -- they start in January -- come to any Q&A call and ask for help to clarify your structure. Your monthly call with your Accountability Buddy (starting in January) is where you can revisit your structure, what you're learning about it (and about yourself), and recommit to the integrity of the structure. Besides adding your comment below, also look at some of the latest comments -- what do you appreciate about what they wrote? What can you learn from it? (If you don't see any comments below, it means you're currently logged out, or don't have access to this course.)
