Summary
1. Intro & January Giveaway
Tim opens the stream, announces the January giveaway (I Love Old Time Radio membership), and reflects on 14 months of full-time Joomla business.
2. Reducing Distractions to Improve Productivity
The core challenge is identified: distractions kill productivity. Tim references Warren Buffett and Bill Gates on time management, emphasizing that time is your most valuable asset.
3. Unfollowing Negative Content & Managing Email BACN
Practical steps are shared: unfollow negative Facebook content, manage email "BACN" (email you want but not right now), and use Gmail filters, tags, and automation.
4. Evaluating Activities by Hourly Rate Goals
Tim analyzes activities by asking whether they meet his target hourly rate of $90 CAD. The Amazon Affiliate program is evaluated as an exampleโthe time invested doesn't justify the profit.
5. Lead Generation Strategies for 2019
Free local advertising, service landing pages, YouTube videos for local promotion, Google Search/Maps listings, online reviews, Chamber of Commerce networking, and business partner referrals are covered as lead generation methods.
6. Improving Productivity with Block Scheduling
The weekly work schedule is restructured with dedicated time blocks, including Tuesdays for Regular Labs videos and scheduled meetings, using OS Services Booking for online appointments.
7. Creating a Business "Flight Manual" & Standard Procedures
Tim introduces the concept of a flight manualโchecklists for livestreams, marketing, repetitive tasks, and standardized Joomla site setups. A basic Joomla starter site for new clients is part of this system.
8. Organization Tools & Workspace Decluttering
Organization tools are discussed including TreePad, OneNote, and Dropbox. Tim emphasizes finding a system that works for you and shares his workspace decluttering journey ahead of a fire inspection.
9. Visual Goal Tracking with Glass Beads
A jar of glass beads is shown, where each bead represents one paid hour needed to reach monthly income goals. The system worked for eliminating consumer debt but hasn't translated perfectly to business tracking.
10. Getting Over Yourself & 2019 Recap
Tim shares the lesson of "getting over yourself"โlearning from missed opportunities (YouTube watch time that didn't count), resisting shiny object syndrome (Tiny Tim's Tiny World Instagram idea), and learning from failure (Closed Caption Cleaner project). The stream ends with a recap of 2019 business improvements, planting seeds for future success, and a final blessing.
