For small business owners the art of juggling is one we have to learn early on. We start off being CEO, Finance Director, Administrator, Customer Service, Marketing department – every time something new gets thrown at us we add it to the act, find the time, and keep on going. Since lockdown started many of us have had to deal with extra challenges, whether that has been in the shape of homeschooling, moving a face-to-face business online, or both.
But there comes a point for all of us when it gets too much and we can’t keep everything going. For me, it all fell apart last week – I was trying to keep too many balls in the air and ended up dropping all of them.
At first I felt awful – I’m a professional multi-tasker, how had I let this happen? Well, it’s simple really, I’d forgotten the golden rule - planning. I had become so tangled up in what I had to do that I hadn’t stopped to think about how to go about doing it.
So I dusted off my trusty VA rulebook and created a helpful infographic for all of us who are struggling with the juggling act right now.
