  • do the "deep work" in your business
    Oct 11 2024
    when you start getting that "stale" feeling in your business, it's time to do the "deep work".

    we got the idea from an episode on The Skinny Confidential & it's been a game changer ever since.

    simply put - we block out a half-day to talk through the health of the business. we discuss the state of internal SOPS, how to improve our current services, what services we believe our clients are missing & so on.

    but most importantly, we realign on how we want to FEEL in the business.

    are we EXCITED about the clients we're working with?

    are we PROUD of what we're creating?

    are we INSPIRED by our vision of the future of sauce?

    are we getting out & having GENUINE experiences that promote creativity?

    prioritizing the health of our team's creativity has become first & foremost in our company. when our team is run ragged, they can't create at their fullest potential... & it's honestly not fun anymore. we lose that creativity when we get stuck in formalities & the day-to-day.
    tune in to hear how we structure our "deep work", what we've learned from our sessions & how to know if your sessions are working.

    enjoy!
