3 Ways To Overcome Business Overwhelm During The Holidays

Are you trying to fit in WAY too much for your business before the end of the year? Or maybe you’re one of those people who throws your hands up in early November and takes a couple months off?

Not this year! Watch the replay of the live google hangout where Natasha Vorompiova of Systems Rock, Jules Taggart of Amp and Pivot and myself talk about the 3 ways to beat business overwhelm during the holidays.

Highlights:

  • Focus: Pick 5 things that you wanted to launch this year but didn’t get to. Of those five narrow your list down to the two that have low hanging fruit- meaning no big expense and no huge time delay. From there pick the project that most lights you up because we know that November is a hard month to stay motivated with all that turkey those distractions!
  • Do the work: Sounds obvious, right? But it’s also about shipping. This is not about being perfect. Create your minimal viable product and run from there.
  • Accountability: Need help? Share your progress. Get feedback. It’s already happening in our #YESvember Google+ community. (psst..have you joined yet?)

Take the #YESvember challenge and this year, let’s do the whole holiday slowdown thing a little bit differently. Instead of saying “no” to new clients, “no” to launching that new product, and “no” to working on that big idea — how about we say YES instead?

 So, are you in?
