Welcome back to Double Your Profit. Uh, today's gonna be a really quick one because it's a very short lesson, and that's the whole point. Cut your meetings in half. You likely need a lot less meetings than you have, and they can probably just be an email. If you're spending a lot of time getting together for hours on end, updating and rehashing and doing whatever, you're probably just wasting time. Now, a little-known secret that I have found as our business has grown is some people just like meetings. They like to come in, they like to chat, they like to know what's going on. And that's really dumb. I mean, meetings are super expensive. Our senior leadership team, we have a 90-minute high urgency, high tactical meeting every single week, and that costs $3,000 in payroll wages. That is a lot of freaking time. And we have to really make sure that, hey, that's a lot of money. Are we using it effectively? And if we're spending a bunch of time outside of that meeting, are we using that effectively? Cut your meetings in half, maximize your team's time, and give them the freedom to spend their time at the highest impact activities. Share with someone that has too many meetings and share with someone who has no boundaries on announcing new meetings. Like and sub.
