In this episode, I talk with special guest Louise Miller about what productivity really looks like for membership owners.
We explore why traditional productivity advice often misses the mark. You’ll hear how to create more space, focus, and intention in your daily operations—without burnout.
This conversation is full of practical tips for redefining productivity. We cover how to stay focused, simplify your to-do list, and help both you and your members achieve more with less stress.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or just want to work more effectively, this episode will help you reset and realign.
In this episode:
- What does productivity really mean for membership owners, and how can outdated definitions hold you back?
- How can you shift your habits to focus on what truly matters—not just getting more done?
- What steps can you take to create space, clarity, and better action—even when things feel chaotic?
- How can you help your members be more productive and achieve better results inside your community?
Key Quotes & Takeaways:
“I had to redefine productivity for myself before I started doing the work that I do, because the definition I've been carrying around with me, which I think is probably what a lot of other people carry around with them, actually made me ill.”
“Was it taking a moment to just stop and get a bit of perspective? And that's where I think productivity starts in understanding that when you're in. I call this a kind of frantic and frazzled overwhelm loop of maybe sitting down at your desk going, oh, my God, I've got all this to do, man, your brain immediately starts going into overdrive.”
“I was putting my own business development at the end of the week and I was doing it on Fridays, thinking, oh, Friday, a nice day to do my business development, by which time I was knackered and. Or mopping up stuff that I hadn't managed to get done during the week, which meant the signal I was sending to my brain was that my stuff, not a priority.”
“And what I see quite a lot is memberships are really good with the inspiration and the information, but can fall down a little bit when it comes to the implementation piece.”
