It’s the end of the second quarter of 2020… and we are sure that, like everyone else, you are wondering what the rest of the year is going to bring. It’s never been possible to forecast the future with any kind of accuracy but given … everything… in the world… it seems a whole lot less certain right now. 

We get a lot of questions about how we’re managing through this crazy year, and we are sure that you do as well. Everyone is hoping for an answer, a direction, someone who is navigating well and has the exact right magic formula for getting to the other side of all this.

You know, as we do, that there are no magic formulas. It’s all trials and tests and checking the data and response, and trying new things - but also sticking to our knitting. The end of the second quarter of the year is a really good time to review your business plan, your marketing strategy, and - of course - your books. What has worked in the past may very well work in the future, and what needs to change might just need what we’d call… tweaking. 

One of the biggest “tweaks” for many businesses has been remote working. We’ve been working remotely since 2015 (before it was cool - does that make us remote work hipsters?) and want you to be able to remote work successfully. To that end, we’ve got some more information for you! On our COVID-19 resource page, you’ll find two downloadable PDFs with some quick information on some of the tools you can make immediate use of, as well as a few of the things you should keep in mind to protect your systems and your computer. Want a little help with your tweaking? Yes, we do that! 

We are continuing to share stories about our amazing clients (of course, identities have been changed to protect the innocent). So far this year, we’ve told you about Samantha, the financial advisor, Adam, the realtor, Nathan, the wealth coach, and Avalon, the marketing professional. This month, we’re bringing you Camilla, who moved her retail business from a brick and mortar store to an ecommerce operation. Camilla had really felt a loss of the joy that drove her to open her business in the first place. She was bogged down with operational tasks, when what she really wanted was to connect with the culture of the artisans who create her product, and the customers who love it. Working with our team helped her turn her business back into one she loves.

We know you’re always curious about the people on our team - we’re pretty amazing, we don’t blame you. We are delighted to introduce you to Kristi, our Industrious Slayer. Kristi comes equipped with more than a decade of professional administrative experience and a cheerful, patient approach. Learn more about Kristi - and her cool farm - right here. 

Whether you’re a current or past Admin Slayer client, a Slayer alumnus, a friend, strategic partner, or just someone who likes reading our stuff (gosh, thanks!), we hope that you continue to find our newsletter, articles, and resources really useful.
