Happy New Year, Elizabeth!

Confession: I'm a New Year's challenge addict. Every year, I sign up for Apartment Therapy's January Cure to motivate me to clean up the house (so much stuff around here, just so...much) and sign up for a mindset challenge (this year, it's back to Gabby Bernstein). Building a better life and business means building better habits. Every January 1, I try again. What about you?

There's a "challenge" to challenges

In Atomic Habits, James Clear says that there are four rules to making changes and building better habits: Make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, and make it satisfying. Right. Is that all?

I'm going to try and help you out on this

I'm going to challenge YOU to make one of four changes to your business process workflow. Just one, and none will take more than 20 minutes for you to do. None will require you to download any new apps or create any new templates. All of them will give you a little more breathing room in your business and strengthen your boundaries. Choose which one fills Clear's requirements for you.

Ready? Pick One Challenge to Complete In January:

1. Add checkboxes and Initials to your contracts - this would be for the stuff your clients don't read or that you absolutely need them to understand. Example: Before my wedding clients can complete their contract, they have to check a box that they understand that their deposit is non-refundable and that we don't touch, serve, or remove food or alcohol. There's a video below on how to do this in Honeybook, but this is a quick tweak you can do across CRM platforms or in your Google Docs. Remember, change it in the template, NOT in the project.
2. Create a new scheduler OR edit an old one - New year, new personal and business schedule. Take 10 minutes to change your availability in your online appointment schedule OR 15 minutes to copy an old scheduler and tweak it for a new appointment. For example, add weekend availability or accommodate your kid's sports schedule.
3. Add a review capture to your automation/workflow - Take 15 minutes and create an email asking for a review, or copy the one that you usually send - when you remember to send it. This time, you're going to automate it. Add the email as a project step, or set a reminder in your. The end goal is to create an easily accessible template that you only have to touch once or not at all.
4. Ninja level - Change a Payment Schedule - If you occasionally felt last year (feels so good to say "last year") that your deposit wasn't big enough, or depending on the service, that you don't want to split the balance at all, fix it no. 10 minutes, rub your hands together, pull the grenade pin and just do it.

I wanna know which one you picked!

Message me on Instagram @elizabethcoopersmith and let me know. Plus, if you follow me, I will follow you back, if I'm not already.

Add Initial Confirmations in Honeybook

Confidential to Keep in Touch: Yeah, if you text a session link to a client, a new project is populated. Send the session link through their project instead - you can do this on the HB app, too.

Confidential to Making it Stick: You can NOW designate in your sessions calendar if the meeting date is a project date. More on this later, but our Honeybook prayers have been answered!

I'll talk to you soon,
