Using Systems to Grow Your Business

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Work smarter not harder,” but it is easier said than done, right? Maybe not…

Rachael Crowe found that her creativity and motivation was waning due to being “busy” and not having the opportunity to focus on those aspects of business that motivate her. Listen in to episode 482 of The Bokeh Podcast as she shares how she uses systems to grow not only one, but two photography businesses, while still having time to prioritize rest and free time to do things that she enjoys.
