ABOUT THE PODCAST: Content Creation Made Simple™ was born out of retirement from 30 years of teaching, extra time on my hands, the desire to do something creative, and the realization that I could do all this and more with an online business. (Something that wasn’t even possible back when I began teaching.) I devoured everything I could find online about starting a business, hoarded way too many resources, and collected/tried tool after tool. My “learning addiction” was real. (And a problem keeping me from taking action.) Hopping from niche to niche, mentor to mentor, and from one business idea to the next, I chased the “shiny objects” and shifted focus way too many times. What a mess everything was. No organization, no roadmap, lapsed motivation, and so much frustration & overwhelm. I knew I had to do something before my husband stopped supporting my “expensive hobby.” I desperately needed to put a plan into action. So, pulling myself together, I got my “learning addiction” under control and chose only a couple of mentors to learn from. I harnessed the organizational expert I’d been in my former teaching days and got everything organized into a simple online system. And I realized that this learning experience was God’s way of leading me to where I am today. I knew that I couldn’t possibly be the only older (‘er mature-ish) retired teacher that’s floundered in this digital business space. So I created Content Creation Made Simple™ to help other midlife Christian entrepreneurs (like you). I want to save you all that time and frustration by sharing the signature 3-step framework that I created to simplify the content creation system inside your online course business. If you're ready to skip to the front of the line, then you're in the right place!

Want to get started sharing your passion and talents with the world consistently with less stress and overwhelm?

Go grab Stef’s course, Podcast Pro University, and get your podcast up and running within as little as 30 days or less. I absolutely loved PPU and can attest to how easy, yet thorough, the course is. I originally bought a different podcasting course and was utterly disappointed. Do you hate to waste money as much as I do? With Stefanie Gass, you’re never disappointed. Trust me. So go grab PPU at https://bit.ly/stef-courses and get that podcast started.

One element that limits your focus? Distractions. So, today we continue the Powerful Productivity Series and “focus” on (see what I did there, lol?) - we focus on getting rid of those darn distractions that seem to be inevitable no matter how hard we try to center our attention and stay in the game. Or at least minimizing the disruptions. So, now we climb up to step 3 of the productivity ladder - eliminating distractions. Having a work from home environment that’s as free from distractions as possible is vital to improving your productivity. If distractions keep you from getting all the important activities in your business done, then you’ll continually find yourself disappointed by what you haven’t accomplished. So, let’s see what we can do to improve your focus as you work as distraction-free as possible. Sound good?

Ready to streamline content creation to save time and energy? Grab my free Podcast Episode Planner & Workflow TEMPLATE so you can stop wasting time rewriting the same information over & over again! https://simplicityforsolopreneurs.com/podcast-template -------------------------------- As we talked about last week, being productive isn’t just about accomplishing more. It's also about investing your time and attention in a more strategic way to add value to whatever you're working on or trying to get done. In Episode 92, which was the first in this time management series, I gave you three tips to end the art of procrastination for good. Now we climb up to Step 2 of the productivity ladder - creating a smarter to-do list. When you think about it, the concept of using a to-do list to stay productive and get more done is as easy as breathing. Right? Just make a list, do the things, and check them off. What could be simpler? Well, if it were that easy, then all the entrepreneurs out there wouldn’t be constantly crying about how overwhelmed they are or how their businesses aren’t growing. ‘Cause everybody’s got a to-do list, right? Staying productive with a list isn’t actually as simple as it seems. In reality, not all to-do lists are created equal, and the quality of your to-do list can have a huge impact on optimizing your day to get a lot accomplished, moving your business forward, and keeping overwhelm at bay. So, what makes for a smarter and more sensible to-do list, one that maximizes your use of time? Listen to today’s show and discover the four characteristics you, as a busy and overwhelmed entrepreneur, should incorporate into your to-do list to be as productive as possible, create intentional action in your online business, and ditch a lot of the overwhelm that comes from being a solopreneur.
