Great tips from the incredible Alice Nisbet to ensure you can effectively switch off during your holiday ☀️

The holidays are here, and we all know how overwhelming they can get! Balancing business, family, holiday parties, gifts, and everything else on your to-do list can feel impossible. The real challenge? Figuring out what to prioritize. Learning how to manage your time and stay focused during this busy season is key. The tactic to use now: DROP SOMETHING! Chose something that you can't finish now and commit it to someone else, cancel it, or set a new time to engage with it. Finishing the year strong! #adhdinbusiness #businesstips #holidaystress

Public Holidays can be Bitter Sweet. Particularly for a small business owner Public holidays can bring a mix of emotions. On one hand, it's a precious day off for business owners and staff to recharge and spend time with loved ones. On the other hand, the reality of running a business doesn’t pause. The rent and other overheads don't have a day off, and it's one less day to generate revenue. Balancing the need for personal downtime with the financial demands of the business is a constant challenge. It’s a reminder of the resilience and dedication required to keep our businesses thriving. So as we approach the Kings Birthday holiday hats off to all you fellow business owners out there! How do you manage this balance? Let’s share our experiences and support each other through the bittersweet moments.

I used to think holidays were only for employees. Starting my business 2 years ago, I didn't think I could step away. With so much relying on my input, the idea of taking a break seemed impossible But as Viewix has grown, I've come to realise the importance of a recharge I'm a 'new' business owner with a lot to learn About being a great manager and team leader Taking a step back taught me: 1. The value of trusting my team 2. I won't actually regret taking time off 3. The value of coming back with fresh energy 4. Giving responsibility fosters a culture of trust 5. The effectiveness of the systems we put in place 6. Clear communication is pivotal to business continuity To my fellow entrepreneurs don’t underestimate the power of taking a break. What's your number 7? P.S. Here's a shot of my partner and I caught in the middle of rainy season in Costa Rica.

Conflict - Find Common Ground As the year-end holidays approach, some of us may struggle with which family to visit for the celebration. There may be conflict due to long-standing issues, scheduling, or other reasons. This is exactly like deciding which work meeting to attend. There may be multiple meetings at the same time. There may be an adversary who does not support your viewpoint or plan. Get ahead of things and plan your strategy. Create a pro/con list and write down all the scenarios you can imagine. Be prepared to sell your concept. Always plan. Learn the skill of working with those of different viewpoints. Sit down and talk. Find common ground. Find the path to move forward that may benefit everyone.

☀️Summer is here so you know what that means vacation! So have you created an “out-of-office plan”? Having a plan like this ensures that loose ends are tied up, responsibilities are delegated, and nothing gets stalled or falls through the cracks while you’re away. Most businesses run year-round, including mine. However, we all need a break to rest and recharge. Here are a few things I like to have on my checklist to prepare for taking time off. ✔️ Update Google Business to show that the business is closed for statutory holidays. ✔️ Finalize Team vacations & schedules to avoid scheduling conflicts. ✔️ Write and schedule extra content in advance for both myself and my clients. This way clients can be assured that their content will be posted regardless of whether or not my team or I is taking some downtime. ✔️ Block out dates in my calendar for Fall business networking events. So, that’s a look at we do.😏 How do you prepare for time away from your business? #teamwork #businessowner #smb #linkedinmarketing
