Welcome back to the Scale Your Small Business Podcast with your host, Jillian Flodstrom. Today, we’re celebrating 100 episodes of the podcast by reflecting on the top five things that made a real difference since starting our journey to help folks calm the chaos.

The first point that makes a huge impact in scaling any business is batching. Sitting down and frontloading your work will ease the stress of getting everything done on time and in a way that you’re happy with. Get everything ready–hair, make-up, and episodes, then sit down and get it done all at once. 

Secondly, know that you have supporters. There are people out there who will want you to fail, but there are just as many who are there to help you get your wins. Even if your inner circle isn’t as quick to help, build a team around you of those who are.

Third, consistency is key. Getting things done relies on dedicating time to ensure space is blocked off to achieve your task. Know that you can find the time, it’s just about moving some things around.

Number four: just start. It can be hard, and getting stuck or frozen can happen. But push through those intrusive thoughts and get going. It’s okay if it’s awkward, it’s okay if it’s cringey–just get the ball rolling and momentum will build. 

The fifth and final point is to become a better listener. In a time dominated by social media, genuinely listening can make a huge difference. Truly listening can positively change relationships, open doors, and create connections that will last a lifetime.
