Productivity hacks are increasingly crucial in today’s fast-paced business environment, particularly for entrepreneurs who juggle multiple responsibilities. Are you maximizing your time and resources effectively?

In this episode, our host and CEO, Porschia, along with our guest, Jeremy Cline, explore what productivity means for entrepreneurs and why it matters.

You’ll also learn about the importance of asking for help, a common struggle for many entrepreneurs. Porschia and Jeremy share their favorite productivity hacks tools and highlight common mistakes entrepreneurs make regarding productivity.

Jeremy is a coach and the host of Change Work Life, the podcast that’s all about beating the Sunday evening blues and enjoying Mondays again. After 20 years spent largely furthering other people’s dreams, Jeremy started to wonder whether he was going to end his career thinking, “Really? This is what I did with forty years of working life?” And so in 2019 he started the Change Work Life podcast and became a coach in 2022 to help others.

What you’ll learn:

• The true meaning of productivity and why it’s essential for entrepreneurs
• How to determine if you’re being productive or not
• Common productivity mistakes made by entrepreneurs and how to avoid them
• How to know if you avoid getting support and when you should ask for help
