Episode 312: Nicole Rex - How Dell is Reinventing Work

A solo series with Amy Jo! In this first episode of a three-part series, you’ll hear how Amy Jo is reinventing her relationship with time (and how you can too). You will learn tactical tips so you can do the same. Amy Jo has overhauled how she spends her days. The catalyst for this reinvention? Some tough, life-changing lessons. You will learn how to optimize your bandwidth (finite 24 hours in a day) and expand your capacity (infinite potential). Hint: Getting up earlier and earlier is not a strategy.

When we make friends with the data, (aka make friends with reality), we start to see tangible change. Reinvention is a daily practice.

Amy Jo has never seen the level of exhaustion in people's eyes that she sees now. After looking in the mirror, she realized that she also slipped into this boat.

Amy Jo shares what is required for reinvention. She explains the difference between your bandwidth and your capacity. She teaches how to design and execute your ideal day by using a time budget and how to conduct a time audit. These tools are invaluable for you in order to change your days.

You’ll also learn what to do if you are not feeling a sense of growth, fulfillment and joy in your life and career, and the three things you can do today to start expanding your bandwidth and your capacity.

Amy Jo is brutally honest and acknowledges she hasn’t figured everything out but the concepts and tactics she shares can make a considerable difference in how you spend your days - which is how you spend your life.

As promised, in this episode you’ll hear Amy Jo’s New Year’s list featuring what she plans to take with her into the new year, leave behind in 2023 and create new in 2024. She has been doing this exercise for over ten years. These actionable items go hand in hand with her goal to reinvent her relationship with time and money. It’s not too late to do this exercise yourself. Amy Jo dives into the “now what?” and how to execute on your goals for the year. 

You’ll learn the tactics and indicators on how to know when you are tapped and trapped, how to know when you are creating momentum and when you are on the right track to increasing your capacity and expanding your bandwidth.

Amy Jo explains what the Ruthless Red Pen is and how you can use it, as well as how to deal with what she calls Bandwidth Bankruptors. You’ll learn the important questions to ask yourself before you decide to take another “hey can I pick your brain?” meeting.

Amy Jo Martin - Part 2 How To Reinvent Your Day & Relationship With Time (Ep 314)

This is the final episode of Amy Jo’s 3 part series all about reinventing your relationship time and money. We encourage you to listen to Part 1 (Ep 313) and Part 2 (Ep 314) before pushing play on Part 3.

In this last installment, Amy Jo focuses on the money side of things. To be clear, this is not investment advice, but you will learn how to potentially earn more and save more.

Amy Jo shares her specific money story and how that has changed over the last ten years. The net/net? Sacrifice does not equal success. Period.

Our earning potential is highest when we are expanding our capacity and optimizing our bandwidth. Sometimes that means spending money to create more time. Amy Jo explains how. She also shares what she is looking at specifically in her budget, and how she uses that data to determine if she is operating at her full earning potential.

You’ll learn the importance of assigning a value to your hours, and start making decisions based on the value of your time, as well as the difference in approaching finances from a confident place as opposed to doing so out of fear, and with a scarcity mindset.

Finally, Amy Jo takes you through the 5 Renegade Rules as a refresher so you can apply the rules to what you’ve learned over the last 3 episodes and beyond.
