It seems like we're all looking for the silver bullet when it comes to getting more done in our business. Look no further. There is a methodology that will help you do twice as much in half the time.

Too good to be true? We thought so, too...until we implemented it. Now our team is producing more work, at higher quality, and in much less time. And so can you.

The Scrum Methodology was originally designed for technical projects, but now it's being applied to business and it's been a smashing success for many.

Our own experience has been extremely positive. Our team is on the same page, we're doing the right things at the right time, and we're knocking out project after project weekly.

Tim Francis is the guest on the first two episodes in this series. He is a scrum "master" so to speak and he taught us the ins and outs of the process.In this series he's going to outline what scrum looks like and how you can use it in your business.

This episode is part one in a 3-part series about applying the scrum methodology to innovate with disciplined execution while getting twice as much done in half the time. Part one is an overview of the methodology, part two is how to execute the methodology, and part three is a review of how we implement scrum into our business and how you can apply it to yours.

The most successful ecommerce business owners understand the characteristics of abundance & scarcity thinking, and they know how to only think in terms of abundance.

Our largest and best clients use abundance thinking to lead them to more success, joy and fulfillment, while the others with scarcity thinking tend to have more failure, fear and discontent.

We’re talking about this today because it’s something we’ve been purposefully focusing on to help us maintain excitement, energy and joy while we build our business.

Plus, research has recently shown us that a person’s success is directly related to his or her mindset.

We now know that much of your success hinges on whether you believe that “there is always more where that came from” or “there will never be enough”...and the variations of them, i.e. abilities can be developed vs. fixed.

We’re going to discuss the characteristics of each kind of thinking, what we see most often in our top ecommerce clients, and then how you can apply it to yourself as you build your ecommerce business.

Key Takeaways from the Show

• The difference between abundance thinking and scarcity thinking
• How our largest and best clients use abundance thinking to lead them to more success, joy and fulfillment
• The top 8 characteristics of abundance thinkers (and a bonus)
