With lockdown coming to an end in the UK but the restrictions of the pandemic still in full force, we have heard of many businesses this month falling fowl of current Covid measures. With big brands like the Arcadia group collapsing into Administration this week and Debenhams appearing to follow the same path after 242 years in retail. The current economic climate is tough on many businesses and business owners, but entrepreneurs and small business owners continue to fight the good fight with the focus on not only surviving but thriving even in times of adversity.
1) Embrace Change
Whilst there are many factors to consider in these difficult times; one of the keys to survival, I believe, as an entrepreneur in lockdown, is to embrace change.
2) Leverage your time!
There are only so many hours in a day! Avoid trying to do everything by yourself. Delegate. One way to leverage your time is to hire a Virtual Assistant, for specific tasks. Allowing you to work less and focus on parts of your business that requires most of your attention. Roneish Myers, Finance Coach, Founder of MoneyHeave
Plan your working days, and remember it’s okay to take a break. Avoid letting days go to waste by planning your days by the hour. As well as planning tasks, also factor in wellness and selfcare. Include your mealtimes and some meditation to keep you energised and less stressed. Also, take rest days in order to avoid mental breakdowns and burn outs. Nikkita Tew – Founder of Young Spender
3) The three R's - Routine, Refresh, Reboot
Ensure you stick to a routine to keep you motivated & using your time efficiently, setting aside time for yourself such as exercise or meditation. Refresh your body & mind, analyse your business, and educate yourself further - read, train, listen to podcasts but most importantly rest when needed. Finally, reboot your business to cater to the adapting market using the knowledge you have gained. Aaron Queeley So Clean So Fresh Cleaning Company
4) Do not fall victim to the hyper productivity trap!
We often feel compelled to do more with the time we have. My top tip for survival would be to take time to remove tasks that are no longer relevant or aligned to your goals. Take a critical look at your projects and tasks, ask yourself the question: is each project still relevant? then make the best rational decision about where to allocate your time and resources. Letricia Black founding CEO of Understanding Girls Like You (U.G.L.Y Tribe)
5) Be a Problem Solver!
During this time, you need to get creative and you must become a problem solver. Surrounding yourself with strong, positive minds will help you to look towards finding solutions and focusing on what you CAN do, rather than what you can’t. When you do achieve something, or meet a goal, remember to acknowledge and celebrate this. The wins, however big or small, help to build momentum towards the end goal.
