VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Lisa,
so great to hear that you’re seeing the potential!!!
thank you for asking for the flow chart files and i’m really glad that they piqued your interest.
i’m happy to share those ONLY if you promise to do something with them 🙂there is a terrible statistic that says that only 20% of students actually act on the material and do something with the handouts and resources.
how sad 🙁
let’s beat this stat, shall we?
-vitaPS. i’ll send to Diana (university director) to upload into the resources.
VitaVygovskaParticipantoh, Sweet Julie! i hear you. i hear the frustration. The angst. The defeat. You are a beautiful person. for what you are. And for helping your family. There are no magic bullets. i will have a few helpful tips for you tomorrow. My heart goes out to you. i’ve been where you are (at half the volume! but it felt the same). So i know it’s possible to dig yourself out. please keep the faith. you are in my thoughts. XOXO

you’ve hit the nail on the head: my version of the american dream!
-vVitaVygovskaParticipantHello everyone!
i want you to know that i read EVERY word or EVERY message.
LOVE your sharing, being open, being vulnerable, being transparent.
LOVE the comradery and support.
LOVE how this group is gelling together 🙂a few thoughts on some of your common themes.
1. Feeling overwhelmed.
I hear you. It’s OK. It’s a natural result of new learning. Especially if the learning is brand new and if the learning is deep. This is not superficial. This is not a ‘get this fixed quickly’ kind of learning. This is investing for a long-term future and success. You are being asked to review, reconsider, potentially build or re-build your house from scratch. There is nothing quick, light, or shallow about it. This is a big deal! It is ok to feel overwhelmed. You are exactly in the right place.But it doesn’t feel good, you might say. Yes, i hear you on that too. The key is to channel the feeling of being overwhelmed into the productive energy that will carry you forward. How do you do that? Take a nap. Take a breath. Embrace it, don’t resist it. Give it time. Let it marinate it inside you.
Then create a list. Big, long, comprehensive to-do list. Chip away at it. Start with easiest, smallest, lowest-hanging fruit. Once done, reach for the next lowest-hanging fruit. Allow time. Give yourself grace.2. Bandwidth and being concerned about sticking with it.
You can not do it alone. The faster you accept this, the easier and faster you’ll be on your way. Left to our own devices, we will always take an easier or a more familiar route. To break this pattern, you need to find someone who will hold you accountable, who will guide you, challenge you, and call your BS :-). And i mean really accountable. It could be a spouse. It could be a colleague in the industry. I already see accountability partnerships forming even within this group. Your best bet is getting a business coach who is an outsider and is getting paid to do this for you. That’s what I have always personally done in my course of business.3. Excitement about the possibility and gratitude for taking this class.
Thank you for all of your kind words! Yes, let’s stay in this space. Being excited. Being energized. Being grateful. Just by taking this class, you are years ahead of where i was, where most of your colleagues are, and most importantly, where you were even short 4 weeks ago. You see what’s possible for you now. You see what and how it needs to be done. You have the guides. You have the road-map. You are in a great place. Exactly where you are supposed to be. Exactly at the right time.i can’t wait to spend the next two classes with you!
~v.VitaVygovskaParticipantPeggy,
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable! i hear you: adapting a new system is a LOT. Especially, since it comes in a context of what you’re already doing. So the question becomes – do you scrap what you have OR try to adapt what i’ve taught into what you have. Take the house down to the studs and rebuild OR try to work within existing walls. Take an existing old panel and rework it OR get brand new fabric and fabricate a new drape. i can go on with metaphors :-).The one thing i saw in your response to Jens is that you’re getting stuck in ‘what ifs’.
We are in the custom business.
There will always be what if’s.
You can get your template to 80% – then work in the ‘what if’ scenario for the other 20%.
that’s how our templates are set up.Table it for now. Let’s get through next at least two classes. Let it all marinate in your head for a bit. The right decision will present itself.
in the meantime, i command you finding “low-hanging fruit” area and making incremental improvements where you can as fast as you can!
great job, lady!
v.VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Jens,
LOVE all your take-aways so far!
it will take some time. One step at a time.
First process flows, then PMS.about hiring out: we will talk about how value your time and how much to hire out in this week’s class.

VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Julie,
i think we talked through many of your questions in the last class. i’m happy to answer any others that may come up.
about my role as a CEO vs. WTS – i plan to talk about it in this week’s class on People and staff.
vVitaVygovskaParticipantHi Rosemarie, you need to go on their website and download the app. Just follow the instructions. Yes, it would be downloaded onto your computer. You can pin the icon onto your desktop. Hope this helps!
VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Brook,
i bet the EW conference was great!
can’t wait to hear all about it…what you’re referring to is a normal and common occurrence.
for various reasons, most of which are very valid.we’ll talk more about it in the People class and then in the Mindset class.
VitaVygovskaParticipantSue,
my plan is this:
1. share the financial side of AT (one of the future lessons)
2. scrub it from actual customer info
3. share my AT with you, so that you have the set-up already done and all you’ll need to do is just fill it in and start using itif this doesn’t work, for technical reasons that i’m not aware of at the moment, then whoever you get to set up your own system (AT or othewise) can watch the presentation and see for themselves how the everything flows together.

VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Rosemarie,
so happy to hear that you’re committed!
and yes, having a ‘techy’ in your back-pocket is very important.
now let’s assign a date to this: by when do you think you’ll have this done?
vVitaVygovskaParticipantHi Peggy,
love it!!
i saw your chart – you did a great job.
now take one block (any block, or biggest one, or smallest one, or one that you dislike the most), and write it out, so that it can delegatable.
which block will it be?
let us know.
vVitaVygovskaParticipanthi Mary,
i understand that it’s hard to let go of the paper trail if that’s how you’re used to doing things.
one way you can approach this is continue with paper IN ADDITION to capturing everything in a cloud-based system.
this way, you’ll calm down your nerves AND start setting yourself up for the future version of yourself.
eventually, you will hopefully find yourself letting go of paper and moving more and more towards cloud-based app.
it’s a process, it may take some time.
treat it like a yoga practice.
v.VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Rosemarie,
Adriana, the coordinator for the university, is in charge of all uploads/downloads.
She is looking into it.
You’re not missing anything.
Well, you are, we all are 🙂 it’s just not there yet.
-v.VitaVygovskaParticipanthi Georgi,
looks like they accidentally uploaded the 1st week video twice. i alerted Adrianna – director for LuUniversity. Stay tuned, it’ll get fixed.
