Does this sound like some kind of unreachable pipedream? Is this one of those unachievable goals that business owners just think about when they look at their over-stuffed schedules? Is this a business fable that begins with “once upon a time”?

It’s not!

Your business is busy. As a business owner or manager, you have a lot to do. Your schedule is full and spilling over into tomorrow and the next day and, chances are, you have no idea how you are going to get it all done. You’ve tried prioritizing in the classic ways. And it might work, if it weren’t for the added pressures and “must-do” items that crop up again and again.

You’re not alone

The schedule of your peers looks largely the same. There is a lot to do. There aren’t very many hours in the day. And every single one of those hours is absolutely crammed full with tasks.

And that’s only on the good days! It gets worse when disaster strikes and you have to deal with it in order to continue running your business. And it gets worse when a customer complains and you have to deal with it in order to keep them from running to your competitor. And it gets even worse when the next hot marketing technique comes out and you have to sign up because that’s where your customers are expecting to find you. One thing after another piles up. You work longer. You work harder. You work evenings and weekends. You read books on productivity written by someone who has never run a business. You hope like crazy that tomorrow will be just slightly quieter so you can “get it all done” (but we both know that it never is as quiet as you’d like).

Does that describe you?

Does that experience describe you? It might. It describes a lot of business owners and managers who are trying to run their businesses within the limitations imposed by the 24 hours we each have in the day. It’s a fact of life that entrepreneurs are busy. It’s a “law” that work expands to fit the amount of time we have. (In fact, I’d say that work expands beyond the time we have). All of this effort likely results in one thing: Treading water. Your business might be profitable but seems to hit a ceiling (and you just can’t seem to eke out the capacity to push it beyond). Your energy level might be high each day but you might hit a ceiling, too. If that describes you, you need to make changes. You need to make changes in order to maintain your sanity. You need to make changes in order to keep your business afloat. You need to make changes in order to bring your business to the next level. You need to make changes in order to spend more time with your family.

What if there was another way?

What if there was another way to run your business? What if there was a way to gain more time to focus on the important things? What if there was a way to prioritize the important parts of your business and manage your business more effectively? Would you want that? Chances are, you would. You know you need something like that because you’ve already been working evenings and weekends and reading those less-than-helpful productivity books. But what if there was a way that you could do it all in just ten minutes a day? That’s right. No evenings, no weekends, no productivity books. Just ten minutes a day to make changes. And I’m not just talking about little changes that amount to nothing. I’m talking about real change. REAL BUSINESS CHANGE that can transform your business and evolve it into a well-oiled machine that seems like it runs on autopilot. I’m talking about profound change that will create the time in your schedule and the space in your mind to launch your business through that ceiling you’ve been hitting for a while. What if, in just 10 minutes a day, you were able to run a business that was faster, better, cheaper, smarter, and stronger? What if, in just 10 minutes a day, you were able to run a business that delivered amazing customer service, that accomplished all you set you to do, and that operated more profitably?

Would you want that?

Would you want a better, more profitable business that you ran more effectively while making profound, meaningful, and positive changes in just 10 minutes a day? What would you do with the time you regained? What would you do with the “mental space” you now enjoyed? What would you do now that you’re no longer treading water and operating above capacity?

You could do more marketing
You could sell more to your existing customers
You could cast vision for the future
You could take time for yourself
You could spend time with family

In only ten minutes?

You’ve probably read this far and wondered “what changes could I make in 10 minutes that would do all of this? How can I enjoy all of these advantages and regain hours of added time in my day with 10 minutes? Is it possible to accomplish anything in only 10 minutes? My answer is: Yes. In just 10 minutes a day you can drive powerful change into your business and regain hours of time and a magnitude of effort that you once spent on day-to-day business activities. I’m going to show you how.

About me

My name is Heather Villa and I run 6 successful businesses. I have a family. And I enjoy a full life with spare time to do the things that I enjoy. I’ve had time to earn two Masters degrees and my CMA accounting designation. I travel. I read widely. I stay on top of the industries I work in. I didn’t invent a time machine that added hours to each day. I don’t work 24 hours a day. I don’t operate at supersonic speeds. I learned – through study and through trial and error – what works to make a successful business and what doesn’t. I learned what techniques could accomplish my business goals and, more importantly, how to do them efficiently. I discovered how many of the things I do each day could be done more effectively, with less time and effort, using tools, tricks, and strategies. In short, I learned that 10 minutes a day is a powerful window of time to accomplish things that used to take much longer to accomplish. Some people collect baseball cards or figurines. I collect productivity-enhancing ideas that could transform my business.

And now I’d like to share them with you

If you’ve found that your schedule is spilling over into the next day or into your personal life and you’re finding it hard to juggle all of the activities that need to take place every day, I’d like to show you what worked for me. If you’ve found that you have less and less time to spend with family and friends because of the demands of your job, I’d like to show you how I’ve been able to keep my sanity and 6 businesses. I’d like to share with you my very own business-building, efficiency-generating, profitability-enhancing tactics: Tips that take just a few moments to read, ten minutes a day to implement, and a lifetime to reap the rewards; tools that cost only a little or nothing at all and yet will make a vast difference to your business. These success tips are the “secret recipe” that has transformed my business and the businesses of those I coach and mentor. They have been directly responsible for millions of dollars in revenue generation in my own business and the businesses of my colleagues who have implemented them, and they have been directly responsible for regaining thousands of work-hours (and personal-hours!) for business owners just like you.
