Do you identify?
 Are you an entrepreneur who wants to expand your
  business but too busy juggling your tasks?
 Are you a solopreneur who runs the business alone and
  does everything by himself?
 Are you the kind of person who keeps himself busy and
  works so hard with the notion that it is being productive?
 But the question is – Is it truly productive?




                       www.SacredProductivity.com              2
What you’ll learn
In this presentation, I will show you why being busy with
so many things isn’t helping you, instead it’s just
delaying you from accomplishing your mission.

I will show you how you can fast track your progress in
reaching your goals and eventually make your impact in
the world.

Read on for an eye opener on the myth of busyness.



                     www.SacredProductivity.com             3
My BUSY days
As somebody who grew up
in a hardworking family, I
knew what it was like to
work so hard. At an early
age of 8, I was already
working in my Dad’s shoe
store. I continued to work
this hard even during my
marriage, much to the
delight of my husband who
worked even harder.



                     www.SacredProductivity.com   4
I was getting tired ...
 After some time of
 building my own
 business, I realized I
 was starting to lose
 my own vision. I was
 getting tired. All the
 hard work took its toll
 on me.



                    www.SacredProductivity.com   5
Too busy to live my life
And I came to a realization that I had been too busy to
even live my life. I even came to a point when sitting still
made me feel guilty and I was feeling like a slacker when
I read a book.




It wasn’t the kind of productivity that would help me
reach my goals and accomplish my mission.

                     www.SacredProductivity.com            6
I wanted to make an impact

As a social entrepreneur,
 I wanted to make an
 impact in the world, but
 I’ve learned that I won’t
 accomplish that if I kept
 working this hard.




                     www.SacredProductivity.com   7
I’ve made a decision to get help

I knew I needed a team to
help me carry out my
mission, reach my goals
and make an impact. I
needed people who could
do the tasks that I wasn’t
good at. The crazy, busy
days needed to end.




                    www.SacredProductivity.com   8
The typical Solopreneur

I had worked alone and
learned it all - how to
market, how to create
websites, how to create
videos. The how-to’s
seemed endless and it
was eating up my
precious time.




                    www.SacredProductivity.com   9
Too busy to do the essential

I was too busy doing all
that while all of the
wisdom that I come to
convey to you now was
stuck inside of me as
  “to be done later”;
  “to be produced later”; or
  “to move into next year”.



                      www.SacredProductivity.com   10
My Sacred Virtual Team

So yes, I decided to get
help and a year later, I
have my sacred virtual
team helping me carry
out my mission, let my
voice be heard and get
my message to you -
making the impact in the
world.



                    www.SacredProductivity.com   11
We don’t have much time

I’ve made this all-important
decision because, as we all
know, we don’t have much
time on this planet.
And the time to act is now;
not tomorrow and
not next year.




                    www.SacredProductivity.com   12
The world can’t wait for you
If you’re a mission-driven, heart-centered social
entrepreneur, I want you to know that the world can’t wait
to hear your voice and receive the impact that you are
bound to make.




                    www.SacredProductivity.com          13
You need help
I’ve been through the same struggle as you are having
now and I know that you need the help of the sacred and
inspired team.




A team who will be thinking with you and buying into
your mission. The team who knows and loves your
mission as much as you do.

                    www.SacredProductivity.com         14
Ask yourselves
Here are some questions
that you might need to
ask yourself.

  Am I using my time
   wisely?
  Am I truly productive?
  Or am I just looking busy
   tiring myself out, working
   round the clock and not
   really producing quality
   work?


                       www.SacredProductivity.com   15
Things you shouldn’t be doing
Make an inventory of your daily and weekly activities.
Write down rigorously what you spend the majority of
your time on. Then let go of any repetitive tasks and find
someone else to do those. Never again engage in
routine tasks.




                     www.SacredProductivity.com          16
Things you should be doing
Instead of wasting your precious time at things that can
be delegated, focus your time and energy on things you
are best at:
    inventing
    solving problems
    finding solutions
    networking with other change agents
Let your creativity spark because the world is waiting for
you to do so.
