Gina Pellegrini is the owner of Pellegrini Team Consulting -- a Minneapolis-based firm specializing in leadership training, staff development, and practice management. Gina helps business teams streamline their systems, increase productivity, strengthen accountability, and improve communication. With the help of Gina and her team, business owners become better leaders, and employees get more involved in their company’s vision, decision-making, and growth.

Secret – timesaving technique

Gina created an "ideal week" with "buffer days" and "focus days" -- schedule your week out with the right amount of each. ONWARD!

Daily habit that contributes to success

Delegation -- Gina delegates work to her team so that she can focus on what she needs to focus on.

Final Round – “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success” What systems would you go back and put into place sooner?

I would have grown my practice quicker if I had put time management systems in sooner.

What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners?

Accountability -- if there's no accountability -- it slides by.

How to exceed expectations and add the most value?

An individual would have the right attitude -- you can teach people anything -- if they have the right attitude.

What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?
  1. Hire someone as soon as possible
  2. Stay engaged with your employees
  3. Have them build their "ideal week"
