Are you thinking about booking a legacy in motion session, but you're not sure if it's the right move? Well, if you're stuck managing the day to day chaos of your business instead of running it like the CEO you are, then this episode is for you, because today I'm breaking down exactly who this session is for how it works and what happens next. That way, you can confidently decide if it's time to take that first step towards creating a more streamlined business. Welcome to the Mind Your Time podcast, I'm Shannon Baker, your coffee loading host and business operations strategist, if your business feels chaotic and you're tired of spinning your wheels, you're in the right place. Each episode contains bold strategies and practical insights rooted in my power and motion framework to help you streamline your operations, reclaim your time and grow without burnout. So whether you're just starting out or scaling the six figures and beyond, I'll help you simplify, set boundaries and build a business that works for you. So grab a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage, and let's dive in. Okay, I see you. You're building something amazing, but you're feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders behind the scenes. You're a purpose driven entrepreneur with a growing business, and I get it. I've been there too. When I started my virtual assistant business in 2012 I was exactly where you are. I ended up overwhelmed, stretched too thin, and wondering if I could really make this work and still be present for my family. And it wasn't until I stepped back, re evaluated and created intentional systems that I was able to take control instead of feeling like my business was controlling me and my life. And let me tell you, that shift was a game changer. It allowed me to replace my part time income and fully focus on TSB management solutions. But you know what? This isn't just about me. This is all about you, the struggle that you're feeling right now. And it's not because you're not capable of working hard and getting things done, but it's because you don't have the right structure supporting the growth of your business, and that's exactly why I created the legacy in motion session is to help you move from overwhelmed to having clarity, so you can go from being reactive to being proactive. And instead of spinning your wheels, you can scale with intention. Now, unlike generic business coaching that leaves you with a list of tasks to do, or a self paced course that you never finish, I don't just hang you a plan and you walk away with it. I work along with you and I, create a customized roadmap and give you hands on support so that it can be implemented, which will build your confidence as you start to see results immediately. I know you didn't start your business to feel like you're drowning in admin work trying to manage everything on your own while your vision is getting pushed to the side. But here's the thing, if figuring it out on your own was the answer, don't you think you would have done it by now? And guess what? You don't need more time to get organized. What you do need is a clear, customized strategy that makes sense for you and your business and gives you back control. That's why I created the legacy in motion session. It's designed to help you finally break the cycle of overwhelm and start running your business with clarity and confidence. And I have to be honest with you, when I first started offering this service a little over six years ago, it was a simple back office assessment. At the time, my goal was to help entrepreneurs identify the gaps in their business operations. But I quickly realized something important, entrepreneurs don't just need a checklist of things to fix. You already have a never ending list that you can't get to. And essentially, that's what the action plan that I was giving was. It was just a list of what you needed to address. And while some clients walked away and said that they would self implement. What I found was most never did. So the information I was giving was useful, but what they really needed wasn't just information and awareness. They needed a clear, customized strategy and. And hands on support to actually implement the plan, and that's why I revamped the service, which is now the legacy in motion session, which is built on my power in motion framework, that is a proven method designed to simplify, systemize and scale your business. This shift has allowed me not to just hand over a list of recommendations, but to actively guide entrepreneurs through building the right systems, getting the right tools in place, finding clarity and actually executing the plan to get the results they want now, because having the knowledge is one thing, having the structure and support to act on it is what truly creates the change. So I want you to imagine this. You started your business with passion and big goals, but now, instead of running your business, you feel like you're just managing clients, you're just getting by. You're always putting out fires, and you're trying to keep everything from falling apart. And I remember hitting that same wall early on in my journey. My systems were non existent, believe it or not, every day was like survival of the fittest, and it did not take long for burnout to set in. But once I implemented some processes with automation, everything changed. I went from overwhelmed and overworked to having clear processes that allowed me to grow and they gave me my time back. That's what systems do. In addition to giving you back time, they give you back control. I then had time for my family. I was able to be very intentional in the way I grew my business, no more chasing money, and that transformation is possible for you too. I know that you know you need systems, but figuring out where to start, it can be overwhelming. I mean, how many times have you told yourself I just need to get organized first, but you find yourself in the same place months or years later. So guess what? More time is not going to fix this, but the right plan will and that's exactly what you get when you book a legacy in motion session or a limb session is you get a step by step action plan that fits your business, your goals and your way of working. It's not a band aid fix. You won't get left behind, but you will get clarity, and if you execute it, you will gain momentum. So let me walk you through exactly what happens when we work together. In spoiler alert, no, you don't have to clean up your back office before we start, because that's going to keep you stalled forever. So the first thing that you will do is complete an intake form, which captures the current state of your back office and your business, then you're going to get a prep email automatically that gives you clear instructions to help you prepare for your limb session. Now, during our two hour zoom call is really a data gathering call, we're going to set a 90 day goal, we're going to audit your operations, and then we're going to identify some of the inefficiencies that you're experiencing. We're going to talk about a lot. We're also going to talk about the priority systems that you need to focus on to support that goal that you picked, and the current processes that you have available, because I'm pretty sure you have more already in place than you know. We just need to get them out of your head and onto paper. Then once that call is complete and it is a recorded call, within five to seven business days, you're going to receive your custom action plan, which will contain clear steps, tech tool recommendations, resource recommendations that are available inside of the mighty society membership. You get a link to the session recording and a link to schedule your 60 minute follow up call, and during that call, you can get any questions answered that you have about the action plan, and we talk about next steps. So that's phase one. Now, when it comes to executing your action plan, there are three options for you to work with me. The first one, it's a semi DIY option. This is for someone who is very disciplined and self motivated. You can join. In the MY-T Society membership, and then you'll get access to the recommended resources that are in your action plan. And I only recommend this option if you are confident in your ability to implement on your own. That means you have to be disciplined. Now if for financial reasons, you need to delay booking one of the other two options that's okay, choosing to become part of the membership will help you keep momentum now, until you're ready to take that step. Option number two is a boost day with me. This is a hyper focused VIP day, where I do the heavy lifting for you and we go through what system we're going to focus on, first. Now a power week that is a deep dive, a full week implementation experience where I build out a system fully automated and refine a few things to give you maximum efficiency. This, generally, is what I do with clients to get their digital filing system in place, because that takes more time. Again. Those are the three ways that you can work with me to implement your action plan once you're receiving it. Now I want you to make a note of this. You can only book a boost day or a power week after you've completed a LIM session. The biggest lesson I've learned is I need to pull back the curtain on your business operations in order for you to fully benefit from any of these options, especially options two and three. I've tried them without having this information in advance, and not once. Did it go well. Now, most clients end up booking multiple boost days throughout the year because they love getting their systems in place at an accelerated rate, and the best part is, it happens while you're focusing on something else. Now I will be remiss not to tell you that both a boost day and power week, they do require an investment of time and money, but I endeavor to make this as payments as possible, so when you're ready to book the kickoff call for either one, you get a link to my calendar to schedule the kickoff call. You pay your 50% deposit, and then you get some basic information regarding the process that we're going to be working on in next steps. Hint, hint, it would be a good idea for you to at least have an idea of how your process should flow. But don't worry about how you need to do that, because I give you a resource to help you map that process out. And then once your kickoff call is booked, you get additional instructions to help you connect with me on boxer, which is how we communicate as we work together to establish your workflow, and this is for either your boost day or your power week. Now, once you submit a copy of your documented process, I start working on workflow improvements. I identify steps that can be automated using your existing tech tools, or I'll recommend a tool for you to use. Now, if you need canned response templates, I create those too. And once all your pre work is completed, you pay the balance due, and then you actually schedule your boost day or your power week. And during the first 60 minutes of the big day, we review the entire workflow that has been created to make sure it works the way that you want, and we fill in any gaps and address any questions you may have. Once you have approved it, I prepare to create the workflow within your system with the integrations and automations that have been outlined, and then you're free to go about your day as you please. But I do ask that you be available via Voxer for any clarifying questions that I have along the way. And then at the end of the designated time period, we get back together for about 30 minutes. I walk you through your new system. And then afterwards, you get customized training videos that you can put in your resource center. These recordings are yours to keep forever. Should you need to reference them at any time? You also have access to me via Voxer for 14 days afterwards for any hiccups you experience with your new system and questions. And then after 30 days, we hop on a 45 minute call to do a systems check in, and that way I can see how things are going, and if needed, we make minor adjustments. Now here's another option, if you decide you want to walk away with an action plan and implement totally on your own, which, again, I do not recommend based on what I've already experienced and share earlier, then you. Get 30 days of email support as you start to execute your action plan. This is so I can help you when you hit a bump in the road and help you leverage the momentum that has already been created in the LIM session. Now I know there may be a few questions in your head that you want answered, so here are some common ones that I hear. Well, what if I invest in this? And it doesn't work for me. You know what? I get it making an investment in your business, it can feel daunting, but my clients often tell me the biggest relief comes from finally having clarity and direction. This session is tailored to your business. It's not a one size fits all solution. That's one of the biggest reasons we pick the system you need the most to support the goal that you set. The purpose of this whole process is to set you up for success. And if you're thinking, Shannon, I don't have time for this, or maybe you're worried about the cost, wondering if the investment is really worth it. Well, let me assure you, the time and money that you invest now is going to pay off in hours saved and less stress down the road, actually, almost immediately. Now if you're thinking, Well, I'm just not a fan of change. Well, my friend, change is what leads to growth, and I'm going to be with you every step of the way. And if you're not sure what systems you need, well, that's exactly what I help you with. And we figure out in the LIM session. And the action plan, again, is tailored to your business's unique needs. And if you're not a tech savvy person, there's no need to worry about that, because I will set up the tools and then I will guide you through how to use them in a step by step method, so that you are confident in your ability to use the tool and the system without breaking it. Otherwise you will stop using it, and that's not what we want. Now, another common objection that I hear is related to the size of your business. So if you're wondering if your business is too small, the LIM session is intentionally designed to help businesses, at various stages, build efficient systems to grow sustainably, delete and I get it the day to day, grind. It feels never ending, but the truth is, the time you invest now will save you countless hours in the long run. And if you're wondering if it's really worth the cost, well, let me tell you, every client who has worked with me in a LIM session says the clarity and relief they feel afterward is priceless. And if you're not sure where to even start this process, that's exactly what this session is for. Imagine saving hours every week, reducing stress, focusing on what you love, running your business instead of it running you. One client of mine was able to cut down her work hours by 10 hours a week, which gave her time to pick her kids up from school every day without stress. Another client, confidently is now able to take a two week vacation without worrying about her business falling apart because her systems in place. This is what's possible with the right systems. Now I want to let you know I only take a limited number of limb sessions a month, so the spots fill up fast, and if you wait, you risk staying stuck in the same cycle. But if you're serious about getting your time back and growing with intention, then I suggest you go ahead and book your session. Now go to the Shannon baker.com forward slash assessment. Now if you're still not quite ready to commit, no problem. We can stay connected. What I want you to do is go to the show notes and grab a copy of my free Biz Ops checklist. It's your first step toward getting clarity today. You can complete it in two minutes or less to identify a system that needs your attention right away, until you're ready to work with me to get all of them in place, because the truth is, your business deserves to thrive, and you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your hard work now, living your legacy, not just leaving it behind and waiting for some day to happen because it's never going to come. So let's build a business that supports your life instead of draining it. Thanks for hanging out with me this week.
