Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

In today’s episode we are chatting about your zone of genius, and asking you how much time you’re spending there…

This concept comes from a great book, called The Big Leap by author Gay Hendricks (you can pick it up at your favourite book store).

In the book the author explores the premise that there are 4 distinct ‘zones’ that we can work in, and that many of us spend our live (both work and personal) not doing things that are aligned with our zone of genius – which is where we can have the biggest impact on the world, and those around us.

The 4 zones as we unpack them are:

The Zone of Incompetence: doing things you’re not good at and are better done by someone else

The Zone of Competence: doing things you’re good, but not great at. Doing the ‘busy’ work rather than the important work.

The Zone of Excellent: doing things you’re great at, and get paid well for, often what you’ve built a career from. But the things that ultimately don’t light you up, that make you feel burnt out and can become bored of.

The Zone of Genius: where things flow, feel easy and time seems to disappear. Doing work here is where you can have the biggest impact and create the most value.

With this in mind, where are you spending your time? Let us know on our socials.

Welcome to this weeks’ episode of The Australian Small Business Show!

In today’s episode we are posing the question: what traits to successful small business owners have in common?

To prepare for this recording, Kristy-Lee and Matt wrote down their own observations and thoughts on the 5 traits they see most often amongst the successful small business owners they work with, and compared notes in the discussion.

From resilience to knowing your numbers and how much grit you have – we only had one shared trait, but they all circled in similar territories.

What about you? What traits do you think it takes to be a successful small business owner? Let us know on our socials.
