101. Time Management, Stewardship & Return on Time Invested for Small Business with Lissa Figgins

·40 min·2 clips

Lissa says she was “in the room, but not really in the room” while measuring worth by completed tasks.

1. How to Grow My Small Business centers this episode on time management, stewardship, and return on time invested for Christian women in local business. 2. Host Lindsay and guest Lissa Figgins matter because Lindsay runs the show and Lissa brings the “Redeem Her Time” framework. 3. The episode asks whether time management is the right solution or whether stewardship multiplies the 24 hours already given. 4. Lissa describes being a planner-driven “recovering busyness owner” from grade school through teaching, marriage, and motherhood. 5. She says she wrote down tasks she had already done just to cross them off. 6. She links years of hustling, measuring worth by output, and ignoring body signals to a year-long throat issue. 7. A specialist later told her she had “globus hystericus,” which he framed as anxiety around everything on her plate. 8. Lissa says that diagnosis showed her the problem was a heart issue, not a calendar issue. 9. She argues that time management advice can become a bandaid that keeps people pushing harder instead of changing their posture. 10. She introduces the “Roadie” method, meaning return on time invested, and says business owners track money ROI but often ignore time ROI. 11. She compares time to money by saying money can be made back after a bad investment, but time cannot be recovered. 12. She says the same 24 hours are available to everyone, but the results differ because people invest their time differently. 13. Lissa says the average person spends 4 hours and 37 minutes a day on a device, which she translates into nearly 100 days a year. 14. She uses that screen-time number to show that people do have time, even when they feel they do not. 15. She defines managing as keeping something contained under control and contrasts that with stewardship, drawn from the parable of the talents. 16. She says the servant who buried the talent acted from fear, while the faithful servants expanded what had been entrusted to them. 17. Lissa and Lindsay keep the conversation conversational and practical, with Lindsay adding examples from marketing, social media, and family life. 18. The tone stays coaching-oriented, with clear back-and-forth prompts, short explanations, and repeated framework language. 19. Busy Christian women business owners who want a stewardship-based planning lens. 20. Listeners wanting entertainment without business application or faith framing.

As heard by us

A grounded reset for owners who want less hustle and a more honest way to steward time.

Time management is treated as a question of priorities, not just scheduling. The conversation pushes back on hustle, control, and the habit of confusing activity with progress, and it starts with beliefs about time before reaching for any planner.
