The home stretch to the end of the year can be an outstanding time for business, and a stressful one as well. While it may be among your business’ busiest seasons, depending on the type of work that you do, it’s also a time for family, friends, a little financial stress, and planning ahead. There’s a lot on your plate, and not a lot of time or energy to deal with it.
As you know, all year long, we’ve been helping you develop your resilience - the ability to bounce back from stress even stronger than you were before. In previous months, we’ve shared tips on how to strengthen your finances, reputation, processes, pipeline, team, technology, risk management, emotions - and even yourself (in two parts). Of course, we’re not done yet! This month, we want to help you manage the inevitable overwhelm that arrives with this time of year by helping you build resilience into your calendar - that daily, weekly, and monthly planner that keeps you on track and focused towards your success.
At Admin Slayer, we know that calendar management done correctly, can change your life. Despite what should, ideally, be a relatively simple task that anyone can handle, we know that entrepreneurial life makes the organization of this key tool a vital component. It helps you in maintaining not only your resilience, but it assists you in driving towards your goals. Unsurprisingly, we also think it’s something you can - and should - delegate.
As you contemplate all the winning you’ll be doing in 2020, we know that social media and great content may be on your mind. We’re huge fans of providing useful, actionable content that will propel our customers to great success - it’s a key marketing strategy based on relationships and education. It will help separate you from the masses out there advertising transactions and clawing at wallets. With that in mind, we’ve got some tips and tools you can use to create great content without wanting to repeatedly bang your head against the wall.
Last, and never, ever least, we’re excited to share with you A Day in the Life of our Inventive Slayer, Katie. She updates website content, posts articles, creates high quality social media shares, manages email communications and so much more - all the while running an active family. We love having Katie on our team, and especially love that thick Newfoundland accent.
By the way, if you’re in Vancouver in early December, catch our CEO Julia Chung at the Women in Wealth Management Summit at the Vancouver Convention Centre! She’ll be discussing tools to build businesses with a panel full of professional women in finance.
