PMP #287: Turning down an acquisition offer 11:53

2d ago11:53

11:53

In December 2022, I was approached by a company interested in acquiring the Pipedrive consulting arm of my business. The acquisition didn’t proceed but it was an interesting process that forced me to think about the value of my business and my goals for the future. In this episode, I’d like to talk about how I analysed the offer that I received and…

I often get asked about the services I use to accept payments online for my products and consulting support. In this post, I’m going to break everything down (so I can refer people later on). It’s worth giving some thought to how to accept payments so you can 1) create a seamless experience for customers that makes it easy for them to pay for your …

PMP #285: Why you should care about productivity 6:42

23d ago6:42

6:42

Everyone should be dedicating some portion of their time to improving their productivity. Productivity is about being more effective and efficient; in other words, doing things better and faster. If you can develop a productive mindset, you can apply this to almost every aspect of your work and life. This is why I’m so passionate about being produc…

PMP #284: How I apply the 80.20 principle 10:46

1M ago10:46

10:46

You’ve probably heard of the 80/20 principle before. If you haven’t, you’ve probably heard the general concept. The 80/20 principle (officially known as the Pareto Principle) says that 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes. The general idea is that 80% of outcomes come from just 20% of inputs; by identifying the correct 20% and optimising the…

PMP #281: High-volume, micro-improvements 11:27

3M ago11:27

11:27

An area of productivity and efficiency that I like to optimise, which I feel not enough people focus on is: high-volume, micro improvements. In other words, optimising small tasks that you do all the time which adds up to big improvements in efficiency. I’m going to share some examples of things we all do every single day, and if you can do these t…

10:05

Documenting your processes not only helps to improve your efficiency but it’s necessary if you ever plan to scale your business. By having a checklist or notes on how to complete a specific task, you can get the work done quicker as you don't have to remind yourself of the process each time. And you’re less likely to miss an important step that cou…

If you’ve ever heard the story or seen the Tom Hanks movie about Apollo 13, you may remember that the crew almost didn’t make it. After a routine procedure led to the explosion of one of the ship's oxygen tanks, the crew had to shut down almost all systems on the ship in order to preserve power which they would need to reenter the earth's atmospher…

PMP #276: Managing expectations 5:59

6M ago5:59

5:59

One of the most important contributing factors to a successful client engagement is how you manage expectations. When you’re just getting started in the consulting or freelancing world, it’s tempting to tell the client what they want to hear in order to win a job. I’ve learned it’s better not to over-promise and instead be as realistic as possible …

Since 2015, the bulk of my company's revenue has come from consulting services and fees earned as a software partner. One of the great things about being a software partner is that you can earn an income from multiple revenue streams so you’re not reliant on just one source of income. In this post, I’d like to explain how a software partner like me…

Are you a serial multitasker? Do you pride yourself on being able to juggle multiple projects at once? If so, it's time to rethink your approach. The truth is, multitasking is a productivity myth. In fact, trying to do too many things at once can actually be detrimental to your overall productivity. So why is multitasking a productivity myth, and w…

I usually get approached by people who need help with one of three tools: Asana, Pipedrive or Zapier. And because I offer support for a project management tool like Asana, I often get asked if I can help with similar apps like ClickUp or Trello. People tell me all the time that I could grow my business if I offered more services. But I find it very…

PMP #272: 5 Tips to become a better communicator 11:47

I strongly believe that better communicators are more likely to get what they want. Whether that’s closing a sale, convincing someone to adopt your idea or sharing advice with someone. We’re communicating all the time; via email, instant messaging apps, phone calls, Zoom, social media posts and of course, in-person discussions. Everyone needs to co…

PMP #271: What’s your focus for 2023 8:00

8M ago8:00

It’s that time of year again when we set goals for the new year. And it’s important to have well-defined goals with specific outcomes you can measure (i.e. SMART goals: Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely). I’ve set some goals for the year. But personally, I find it more useful to have a ‘focus’ for the year. Where a goal defines a …

For the last few years (2019,2020, 2021) I've shared a breakdown of how I spent my time that year. It’s always an interesting exercise and it’s useful for me to analyse how I’m using my time differently year over year. Understanding how your time is being spent is one of the best things you can do to make better choices and plan more effectively fo…

Every week, my Zapier expert, Warwick, and I do a ’weekly review’ where we run down the list of all clients we’re currently working with to determine where we’re at and what we need to do next. During last Friday’s review, we were exploring whether there’s a better way of managing our workload and I said something that has since stuck in my mind. I…

We make thousands of decisions every single day from what to wear or what to eat for breakfast to how to respond to an email or what to work on next. And we should always be striving to make the best decision we can as efficiently as possible. I put a lot of my productivity down to not overthinking things. Generally, I make quick decisions and move…

Like a lot of business owners, I’m concerned about the ongoing inflation that we’re experiencing and how it’s going to impact the economy.

As I look ahead, here are some of the things I’m going to be focussing on to ensur…

But whatever it is you’re doing, whether you’re choosing what tools to use in your business or you’re setting up a new website, you want to aim for “good …

Meditation is a habit I’ve dabbled with on and off over the years. I first downloaded the Headspace app, which was my first exposure to meditation, in 2013. Over the years I’ve gone through periods of where I meditate regularly followed by long dry spells where I don’t meditate at all. As I’ve said on the blog before, I often use habits like medita…
