My guest, Scott Robson, is a double-certified coach who specializes in helping entrepreneurs work through the inherent risk and vulnerability of owning a business. To that end, he graciously engaged me in a live coaching session to explore my “adaptotype” as an entrepreneur. Scott developed these adaptotypes to help us understand how we relate to risk, goals, and overwhelm in our businesses, and I took a lot away from our conversation. I hope you will as well!

One of those moments was a relatively brief conversation a few years ago with my friend, Uriah Guilford from the Productive Therapist, about scheduling intakes. He mentioned that his practice moved to a booking system for scheduling intake calls rather than trying to catch people on the phone via organic callbacks. We started experimenting with it and haven’t looked back. Today I’m sharing how we put it into place.

If you’ve listened to the podcast for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of blocking time on your schedule to work “on” the business instead of “in” the business. I’ve also talked frequently about the role of “think weeks” in my own practice development journey. But what if you don’t have the bandwidth or ability to take an entire week? Or even an entire day? Enter the “think morning.” In this episode, I’m talking through a sample schedule for a think day that you can totally steal and use for yourself!
