 – When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing – with Daniel Pink

Most business owners are intentional about what they do in their business. 

But WHEN they do things? 

More often than not, the timing of significant activities gets left to chance or availability.

What if the timing of an activity, either the time of day or day of the year, made the difference between success and failure?

Daniel Pink, author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing has researched the effect of timing within dozens of scientific fields and applied the findings to business.

In this podcast episode you’ll learn about the science of timing, and how to choose the right timing for your next important activity.

“We go crazy over who’s going to be at a meeting, and what we’re going to do. When it comes to when we do it, we think it doesn’t matter. It matters. It matters a lot.”

Daniel Pink’s research found that being intentional about the timing of activities drastically improves outcomes in your business: the productivity of internal meetings, the effectiveness of marketing promotions, and how a customer feels after a sale.

A few small tweaks to the timing of your activities could be a game changer for your business. 

And the best part is: it doesn’t have to cost you a cent.

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
