Working In Vs Working Out

Chris Papin, attorney and CPA, on the two questions that filter almost every business decision he makes with a client: "Do we have relevant information? That's always number one. Then: is it relevant? Is it not? How can we develop out that conversation?" Then comes the real test. "Is what we're doing today aligning with whatever our stated goal and objective is? If it is, you execute towards that. If it's not, why are we doing it?" Most of the time, the "why" is a client-service instinct pulling you off course, solving today's request at the cost of tomorrow's objective. "It all boils back to a function of time management, structuring, being intentional with the way you're behaving and the things you're trying to do, which is what built the book." This episode goes deep into: A simple framework for evaluating business decisions Aligning daily actions with long-term goals Why 'relevant' isn't the same as 'urgent' The instinct that quietly derails strategic priorities Time management as risk management 🎙 Ultimate Client Strategy Podcast #BusinessStrategy #DecisionMaking #TimeManagement #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #ultimateclientstrategypodcast
