Fifteen Minute Friday Episode #72 with Lady Jen Du Plessis.
Business owners love to stay busy, but busy does not always mean productive. Sometimes we are doing activities because someone told us we “should,” while the real needle-moving work keeps getting pushed aside.
In this Fifteen Minute Friday, Lady Jen Du Plessis, Dame Commander, joins Ben Albert to talk about moving from hustle to harmony. Lady Jen is an award-winning international speaker, The Business Scaling Architect, and The Sovereign Leadership Mentor. She has helped transform over 8,000 businesses and brings 40 years of finance experience with over $400 million in revenue generated.
Lady Jen breaks down why so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in hustle mode, what it means to stop skimming the surface, and how to identify whether your day is spent finding, minding, or grinding.
If you feel like you are working hard but not moving forward, this episode will help you rethink your priorities, protect your lead generation time, and start leading your business from a higher level.

• “I call it eating soup with a fork.” ~Lady Jen Du Plessis
• There is no one key to success. Success is a combination lock. ~Lady Jen Du Plessis

• Business owners scale by moving from hands-on to hands-off. ~Lady Jen Du Plessis
• Lead generation should happen before client work and admin work. ~Lady Jen Du Plessis
Integration Assignment:
Create three columns on a piece of paper:
1. Finder
2. Minder
3. Grinder
Track your major activities for the day.
Finder activities create new business and generate leads.
Minder activities serve current clients.
Grinder activities are admin, backend, and busywork.
At the end of the day, look at where your time actually went. Then ask: What needs to be delegated, delayed, or done after lead generation?
