Hello Reader👋🏻,

I know you’re a creative person. You love coming up with new ideas and bringing them to life. But I also know that you struggle with the other side of the business.

I get it. Admin can be boring and time-consuming. And it can be hard to find the motivation to do it when you’d rather be creating.

But here’s the thing: Admin is essential for business growth.

Without it, you’ll be stuck in the mud. You won’t be able to track your progress, measure your results and revenue, or scale your business.

So what can you do?

You can create business growth habits that won’t drain your creativity.

Here is how you can create your habit loop:

1. Make it obvious.

Find a time and location that you can consistently dedicate to your business growth activities. For example, you might schedule 30 minutes every morning to work on your marketing plan, or you might set up a dedicated workspace in your home where you can focus on business growth.

2. Make it attractive.

Find activities that you enjoy and that you find rewarding. For example, if you enjoy writing, you might start a blog about your business. Or, if you enjoy networking, you might start attending industry events.

3. Make it easy.

Break down your activities into small, manageable chunks. For example, if you’re working on a marketing plan, you might break it down into tasks such as researching your target audience, developing your messaging, and creating your content.

4. Make it satisfying.

Find ways to reward yourself for completing your business growth activities. This could mean tracking your progress, celebrating your successes, or simply enjoying the feeling of accomplishment.

These four steps done consistently save you time and give you access to making good decisions for your business. When you create a habit loop, you're essentially automating a task so that you don't have to think about it anymore. This frees up your mental bandwidth so that you can focus on more important things, like growing your business.

You're essentially training your brain to do something automatically. The more you repeat the habit loop, the stronger the neural pathways become, and the easier it will be to do the habit in the future.

This can be a powerful tool for business owners. By creating habit loops for tasks like managing your finances, tracking your progress, or networking with other entrepreneurs, you can free up your time to focus on the things that matter most.

And when you have more time to think strategically, you're better equipped to make good decisions for your business. So if you're looking to save time and make better decisions for your business, start by creating a habit loop. Start slow and then grow from there
