I’m honored to have author, podcaster, speaker, and new(ish) Substack-er ❤️ Jenny Blake as my guest for this week’s episode of Paradoxical. Her book Pivot was a valuable tool for me in my business journey, and her latest work, Free Time, is another great resource for those of you with small or solo businesses who are looking to get more done in less time (and with less effort). We covered a lot of ground in our conversation, including:
* Jenny’s relentless documentation of her workflow and the central repository she uses for that information
* The ‘whisked away to Fiji’ test she uses to assess her business.
* The importance of time boundaries and constraints as tools to help get things done.
* The value of exploring both sides of fear when navigating business changes
* Her transition to Substack, and how & why she’s balancing free vs. paid content on the platform.
* How (and why) she’s bringing more vulnerability to her work and her strategies for making it a more manageable growth activity.
You can connect with and learn more about Jenny at her Substack.
