What could you achieve by blocking out 15 minutes a day in your diary for networking?
I love networking, whether it is online or F2F.
But not everyone does and it could be holding your business back!
It is all well and good having a lot of connections but if you are not interacting with them or continually growing your network then the numbers don't mean a lot.
Start putting 15 minutes into your diary each day to interact with your existing network and grow it as well and see how you get on.
Feeling Overwhelmed by Tasks? Consider Outsourcing!
Do you ever reach the end of the day with a to-do list that seems to grow longer, not shorter?
Do you find yourself not doing the things you want to do to catch up on work later?
Outsourcing some of your workload could be the solution you've been looking for.
But before hiring a virtual assistant take some time to analyse your business tasks.
For a full week, track all your tasks, big or small.
Once you have your list, categorise the tasks into three groups:
Only You Can Do :These are core tasks that require your unique expertise or decision-making.
You Enjoy Doing: Keep these tasks for yourself, as they likely fuel your motivation and satisfaction.
Outsourceable Tasks: These are all the remaining tasks – perfect for delegating to a VA.
Letting go can be challenging.
Start small by outsourcing routine tasks like email management or CRM updates.
This frees up your time and builds confidence in your VA, allowing you to delegate more in the future.
🕚 Are you spending too much time on your Facebook business page? 💻
As a business owner it can be hard to switch off when you want to grow your network and respond to potential customers.
But too much time scrolling can hinder your growth if you are getting behind in other areas of the business.
Set a ⏲️ for 20 minutes to spend on your socials and make sure you stop after this time.
Or if you want to step away for a longer break pop me a message for a chat on my social media engagement package.
Walking the dog can be a great way to clear your head 😁
But if you are anything like me it's also that time you remember all those things you need to do! 👀
It can be a good time to send yourself a voice note with a list of things to do or just use a notes app on your phone to write them down!
Are you ready for Easter?
If you are going away for the long break don't forget to put your out of office on!
Unless you have a VA who can check and respond to your emails for you 😉
And don't forget the Easter Eggs! 🐣
If you could have an extra hour in your day what would you do with that additional time?
Go to the gym?
Walk the dog?
Catch up with a friend?
Or even watch an episode of that trashy TV programme you love?
If you would like an extra hour (or more!) back in your day I can help you by providing administrative support for your pet business.
Pop me a DM or email [email protected] to see how I can help you.
What thoughts run through your head when you are out walking your dog? (or cat, rabbit, lizard!)
Do you relax and just listen to some music?
Or do you have niggling reminders popping up like...
Did I send that email?
Have I posted on social media today?
Did I put my bin out?
Well I can't put your bin out for you 🤣 but if you need help with the administrative side of your business I can definitely make that walk a little more easy on your brain!
Happy Christmas from Wild Paw Admin Services.
Wishing you and all your furry friends a wonderful time 🎅
🐾 Email Marketing 🐾
Are you relying on Social Media to grow your business?
As fantastic as a tool as it is it can be snatched away from you at any moment and you could have lost all your hardwork in an instant!
Email Marketing is a great tool to use alongside your social media allowing you full control of who sees your content and when they see it instead of hoping you appear in their newsfeed at the right time!
It also allows you to reach customers who might not use social media very often if at all!
So if you don't use email marketing why not try?
And if you don't have the time to get started then get in touch and we can have a chat about how I can help you with this 🐶
Where's your favourite place to walk? Is it local to you or far away?
