March 2010 Event Wrap Up

A big thank you to Tamara Simon from Take Another Look who was our guest speaker at last months event. The topic was 'Who is really running your business'. What a breath of fresh air... Tamara's down to earth personality really shone through making her topic on business strategy so easy to listen to and understand. She gave some very practical advise on how we can re-gain control in our businesses no matter how big or small they are.

A few tips to get back an hour a day....

1. Use a white board - Something as simple as introducing a white board or to-do list program can really put each day into perspective and streamline workflow.
2. Time out - Change daily working habits and take some time out from answering phones, checking emails, fielding question from staff, etc. By stopping these interruptions for a period of time each day we can more easily get into the zone and get our work done quicker and more efficiently.
3. File system for daily tasks - introduce an expanding file and use it like a 3D to-do list with space to file the important things for each day of the month. Add event invitations, job tickets for each day, and anything else relevant to daily tasks.
