Episode 86: Using LEAN Principles to Create Better Outcomes for Your Consulting Business—with Crista Grasso

Do you feel like you are doing a lot but not getting the results you want? Do you know if you are doing the right things that will get your consulting business where you want it to be?

​

In this Craft of Consulting podcast episode, I talk with an expert who can help you answer those questions.

​

I interview Crista Grasso, known as the "Business Optimizer," an international lean business consultant and the creator of the Lean Out Method. She shares LEAN-inspired strategies for quickly cutting through all the noise, ceasing low-yield activities, and instead focusing on optimizing the core things that will make the greatest impact to growing and scaling your consulting business.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Over-committing and burning yourself out when you first start off or try to grow your consulting business

  • Understanding what LEAN is and how applying it to your consulting business can improve quality and reduce wasted time and actions

  • Getting rid of all the noise and fluff so you can focus on client value and business profitability

  • Becoming aware of all the things you are doing
    that aren't supporting where you want to take your business and your life

  • Creating clarity of vision and identifying your short-term goals to make decisions about what to do and not to do

  • Assessing what you don't want in the long term as a way of assessing what you do want in the long term

  • Getting to the place where you become so well known that people are coming to you instead of you constantly going out and trying to find work

  • Committing to what it is that you want, knowing why it's important, and aligning what you do daily to accomplish those goals

  • Creating protected time and space for planning

  • Planning continually in 90-day increments

  • Getting clear on what it is that you are uniquely skilled to do and your niche so you can get clients more easily and get better results

  • Creating your “time pie” to make decisions about your business and life
