    Only got small amounts of time to get everything d Only got small amounts of time to get everything done? That’s ok! You can still be productive and profitable with limited time available It doesn’t really matter how much, or how little, time you have to work on your business, its all about making sure you optimise that time effectively So how can you do that … Do a Brain Dump ✅ Just think of it like a download. This takes everything out of your head and on to a piece of paper. Every single task, every idea you have, write it down. Think about projects you want to do, what are the tasks involved Prioritise Work ✅ You now need to go through everything and prioritise the tasks that you need to be doing first. The key here is to ask yourself 2 questions: • Will this bring money into the business?
 • Will this move me closer to achieving my goal? If the answer to either of those questions are no, then you don’t focus time at the moment for that task … or you delegate the work to get it done (or even delete it) Congratulations, you’ve now created your to do list! Choose just 3 things you MUST do each day ✅ Instead of having your huge to do list feeling like something that you’ll never get through, focus on just 3 things you MUST do today - these are 3 tasks that you have to get done no matter what and are non negotiable You can then choose 3 more things that would be great if you can do them but not the end of the world if you don’t And finally, choose 3 more things that would be bonus tasks if you got them done This way, you’re only focusing on 3 things each day so this will definitely help you to optimise your time as well as helping to avoid overwhelm Emma x #mumpreneur #womaninbusiness #fempreneurs #womeninbiz #mumboss #workingmums #mumbosslife #mumpreneurlife #femaleentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneurlife #womeninbusiness #womeninbusinessuk #womeninbusinessrock #businessandbabies #momsinbusiness #businesssupport #selfemployedlife #mumsinbusiness #workfromyourphone #mumbusiness #businessmum #selfemployment #startyourbusiness #biztips #muminbusiness #businesscoachformums #mummybusiness #beyourownboss #worksmarter #workfromhomelife

There’s so much stuff going on in your head it’s no wonder you don’t get dizzy trying to spin all the plates ✅ Wearing all the different hats as a small business owner (you’re responsible for IT, marketing, finance, Office Junior, CEO and everything in between ✅ What about this weeks blog post, newsletter, filing? Have you got your shit together yet? ✅ Website still not updated or looks a bit shit? When are you going to get round to actually doing it? ✅ Pressure to have all your shit together and be Supermum ✅ Jealous of people who have all day to work on their business while you have to make do with whatever pockets of time you can grab? ✅ Feel like the proverbial headless chicken, forever running around trying to be all things to all people and you end up not spending time on you ✅ Don’t know where to focus as you’ve got too much stuff going on ✅ Got so many plates spinning you’re scared to death precious plates will be the ones that fall I want to tell you that it doesn’t have to feel this way, you can be the business owner you want to be!

    The generic business advice out there doesn't cut The generic business advice out there doesn't cut it for us business mums - we are a totally different breed to 'normal' business owners ‼️ You'll find its catered towards people who have all day every day to spend working on their business without any distractions 💯 ⛔️ They're sat at their desks all day ⛔️ No little people interrupting them asking for snacks for what feels like the millionth time that day ⛔️ Dedicated working hours ⛔️ Tidy workspace without kids dumping all their crap on your desk (I have so many random things deposited for safe keeping in my office it's ridiculous 🙈) ⛔️ No school holidays to have to worry about childcare arrangements ⛔️ No rushing out the door before you've finished your work to do the school run - it is frowned upon to not pick your kids up 😚 The thing is though, it doesn't matter that you aren't sat at your desk all day, it's all about optimising whatever time you do have available to get shit done 💯 What are you telling yourself is ok for other people because they have so much more time than you? In the words of Elsa, "let it go" and start building your dream business!

    You might be working from your phone and not some You might be working from your phone and not some fancy office And that’s ok, it doesn’t matter where you work from (whether it’s the spare bedroom, kitchen table, living room, shop or coffee shops) as long as you get the work done We tend to put to much value on shiny things so just because someone is working from a fancy office or workspace doesn’t make them more successful than you - its all about taking action and doing what it takes to build a successful business! What I want you to be focusing on is the money making activities for your business, it doesn’t matter what other people are doing, that’s not your problem When it comes to actually getting shit done, try these three things: Do a Brain Dump ✅ Just think of it like a download. This takes everything out of your head and on to a piece of paper. Every single task, every idea you have, write it down. Think about projects you want to do, what are the tasks involved You now have this master list which you can use to prioritise the work that will move you closer to your goals and bring money into the business – we all want that don’t we? Prioritise Work ✅ You now need to go through everything and prioritise the tasks that you need to be doing first. The key here is to ask yourself 2 questions: • Will this bring money into the business?
 • Will this move me closer to achieving my goal? If the answer to either of those questions are no, then you don’t focus time at the moment for that task … or you delegate the work to get it done (or even delete it) Break Your to Do List into Chunks of Time ✅ You only have a set amount of time each day to actually get stuff done! One thing that my clients have found helped them so much is to break tasks down into small chunks that will take 5, 10 or 30 minutes to complete. They can then easily manage what work they can get done in the time they have available Emma x #workingmums #femaleentrepreneur #womeninbusiness #businessandbabies #momsinbusiness #selfemployedlife #mumsinbusiness #mumbusiness #businessmum #businesscoachformums
    Do This One Thing If You’re Overwhelmed & Procra Do This One Thing If You’re Overwhelmed & Procrastinating In Your Business Right Now ‼️ Trying to run a business as well as being mum can become really stressful and overwhelming very quickly as you might have small pockets of time available to work! When you do have such small pockets of time available, its so easy to get distracted and flit between tasks without actually getting anything done Another thing you might do is procrastinate as you don’t have a lot of time so “I’ll do that later when I’ve got more time and instead I’ll do some washing” or any other habit and behaviour you do So how can you make sure you actually get shit done? If this is something you’re struggling with at the minute, here’s one simple thing you can do to stop overwhelm and procrastination in its tracks … You’ll need your to do list of what you’ve decided you need to work on as your first and second priorities (hopefully you’ve done a Brain Dump to get this information) You take your list and you need to be looking at your first priority tasks first. What I want you to do is break down all the tasks into individual items and assign it a time of how long it will take you to complete Ideally, your tasks can be broken down into 5, 10 or 30 minute tasks ✅ You then have a list of tasks you can be working through depending on how much time you have available This one thing will make such a big impact on your productivity if you do it – this has helped me enormously to get shit done in my business while home educating my 3 daughters the last 7 years 💯 Emma x #mumpreneur #womaninbusiness #fempreneurs #womeninbiz #mumboss #workingmums #mumbosslife #mumpreneurlife #femaleentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneurlife #womeninbusiness #womeninbusinessuk #womeninbusinessrock #businessandbabies #momsinbusiness #businesssupport #selfemployedlife #mumsinbusiness #workfromyourphone #mumbusiness #businessmum #selfemployment #startyourbusiness #biztips #muminbusiness #businesscoachformums #mummybusiness #beyourownboss #worksmarter #workfromhomelife
    LET'S KICK START YOUR WEEK 💯 Overwhelm can ver LET'S KICK START YOUR WEEK 💯 Overwhelm can very easily creep up on us if we let it, so here's some things you can do to kick start you to a great week 🤩 1. Take some time to plan out what tasks you need to work on this week (this information can come from your prioritised Brain Dump list) ✅ 2. Break down each individual task into 5, 10 or 30 minute chunks so that it's easy to schedule the work in your diary when you have time available ✅ 3. Cut yourself some slack! Sometimes, shit just happens so don't beat yourself up if you don't finish everything. Tomorrow is a new day and it doesn't have to affect the rest of your week ✅ Shout if you need help 💟 Emma x #mumpreneur #womaninbusiness #fempreneurs #womeninbiz #mumboss #workingmums #mumbosslife #mumpreneurlife #femaleentrepreneur #femaleentrepreneurlife #womeninbusiness #womeninbusinessuk #womeninbusinessrock #businessandbabies #momsinbusiness #businesssupport #selfemployedlife #mumsinbusiness #workfromyourphone #mumbusiness #businessmum #selfemployment #startyourbusiness #biztips #muminbusiness #businesscoachformums #mummybusiness #beyourownboss #worksmarter #workfromhomelife
