Are the Holidays Taking over Your Business?
Here it is…two weeks since I last posted. As a matter of fact, it feels like I haven’t done any work at all during this time! We have been getting ready for Thanksgiving, had family come in from out of town, kids on school break, and my nephew got married Saturday.
And Christmas is around the corner? Whew!
Most people face the challenge of how to divide a limited amount of time between an unlimited number of activities and obligations during holiday times.
How do we enjoy the holidays and our families and still keep our home based businesses running?
“Letting it Go” with the thought of resuming your business activities January 2nd is not a great idea. You will lose the momentum you have built and it will take some time to get yourself going again.
So make a plan NOW to manage your business during these often hectic times. It’s never too late!
Prioritize your biz activities.
First, write down everything you do while working your business.
Then make a list of the must do activities that keep your business bringing in business.
This would be things like your marketing activities…adding friends on Facebook, sending emails on Direct Matches, whatever it is you do to reach potential business partners and customers.
On days when you don’t have time to take a breath, give yourself a goal of completing at least one of your easiest, quickest activities. Don’t worry about the other stuff…email, newsletters, and organizing your desk will wait!
Remember the Slight Edge philosophy. Doing a little bit each day keeps driving you TOWARDS your goals. Doing nothing keeps you right where you are then starts sliding you back into doubt and failure.

Thank you for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We got a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information.
