Jaime’s Favorites: End of April
Software Addiction: Grammarly
Let's talk about something many of us struggle with—grammar and proofreading. I'm terrible at this and always relied on my amazing team to catch errors because my mantra is 'done is often better than perfect,' which usually means a typo or two. Grammarly is now my AI partner in catching all these errors. I get a draft from ChatGPT and drop it in Grammarly to finalize with my words. It's amazing and a must-have software if you're creating content. Check it out!
What I’m Reading & Recommending: Built to Sell by John Warrillow
Are you working IN your business or ON your business? This is a question that shifted my perspective, and it was further clarified when I read 'Built to Sell' by John Warrillow. A favorite coach of mine recently said, 'If you build your business to sell, you've created a valuable asset. And honestly, a business built to sell is way more fun to run anyway.' Check out this great book so you can begin with the end in mind, and build a business that's built to sell. Get your copy on Amazon.
Things That Make Life Better: Theme Days
One simple change has revolutionized how I manage my time and energy—theming my days. Here's how I map out my week
• Monday: Dedicated solely to internal work at Weatherby Media.
• Tuesday-Thursday: I call these my 'Chaos Days'—filled with networking, client meetings, and 1:1s. You know how meeting days go; they are just chaos.
• Friday: Reserved exclusively for deep dives into client work.
By theming my days, I can mentally prepare for what's ahead and create boundaries that help me manage my workload more efficiently.
Quotes that Hit:
"Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." - Jim Rohn
When I started my business, it wasn't just about entrepreneurship – it was about breaking free from student loan debt from my Northeastern degree. As incredible as my education was, the lessons I've learned in just one year of running a business have been priceless and 10x what I learned in college.
