EP362: Jessica Lackey - How To Design A Sustainable Vision

“You’re juggling balls in the air, and some are rubber,
and some are glass. If you’re going to let a ball drop, don’t let
it be a glass one.” 
-Jessica Lackey


It is unfortunate, but we often have to suffer to learn what it
is we truly value. It is okay to make mistakes, but if we get to
a point where mistakes are our dominant choices, it is time to
reach out for help.


There are many different measures of success. To some it is
financial security at any cost, taking on as many clients as
possible, even if the quality of the work begins to slip. To
others, helping clients improve their businesses is the mark of
success.


In any case, what we choose to do, and what we choose to get help
with has a dramatic impact on our business’ viability. Especially
the way in which we outsource tasks to others. Throwing tasks at
people because we are too overwhelmed only doubles the workload
in chasing and checking the work to see if it has been done
right.


Jessica Lackey is a strategy and operations consultant who has
made it her life’s work to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs
build sustainable and well-rooted businesses. Her approach is a
human-centric one focused on creating the right feeling in our
businesses, by being intentional in our decision-making.


If you are feeling overwhelmed, are struggling to know what to
focus on, or what to outsource, this is the episode to get you
thinking about the choices you are making in a whole new way.


During this interview, you'll learn...



The value of supportive outsourcing


How to set effective and healthy goals
