VAssistme, UK virtual assistants, is passionate about providing entrepreneurs with the tools needed for success. Discover our top tips for business success.
Entrepreneurship is the process of creating, establishing, and managing a new business, which usually starts out small. Entrepreneurs are the individuals who start these businesses.
Because of the significant financial risks associated with launching a new business, many fail during the first few years owing to a lack of capital, poor business choices, an economic recession, a lack of market demand or a combination of these.
VAssistme is a team of highly skilled virtual assistants in the UK passionate about providing business owners and entrepreneurs with the tools needed for success. Keep reading to discover our top tips for both new and established entrepreneurs and business owners.
Seize Every Opportunity
Successful entrepreneurs seize every opportunity. This means:
- Always being prepared and observant
- Having a clear vision of your brand identity
- Having a website up and running as a reference point
- Signing up for funding opportunities, collaborations, competitions and workshops as they arise
Build Your Network
Networking provides opportunities for collaboration, mentorship and brand awareness. Grow your business network by attending workshops, networking events or reaching out to key role players within your industry. It’s important to stay ahead of your competitors in terms of strategy, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t insight to be gained from them.
By building your network, you improve your brand awareness; you’ll establish trust amongst your peers and keep your brand top of mind.
Make A To-Do List
Make a weekly to-do list that includes essential projects, tasks and deadlines. This creates a tangible way to manage your time and achieve goals. Prioritise projects and tasks based on their relevance and urgency. Establishing a schedule will help you stay on track, avoid procrastination, and enhance your output by helping you accomplish your objectives, prepare for the unexpected, and ensure you have time for fun, relaxation, and reconnecting with the real world.
Beat The Burn-Out
The most terrifying term for every entrepreneur should not be “failure” but rather “burnout”. In fact, two-thirds of entrepreneurs become subject to mental health issues. Because entrepreneurs have more responsibilities than many other job roles, downtime is essential.
You can disconnect from work by:
- Making time to spend with family
- Scheduling time off for vacations
- Take up a hobby that gets you outdoors or active
- Find time for relaxing activities, yoga, reading, painting, etc.
- Prioritise healthcare and self-care routines
- Make time for catching up with friends
Decide Which Tasks You Can Delegate
Start with the most time-consuming tasks on your to-do list and delegate them. If you need to scale up your staff capacity before doing this, you could outsource to a virtual assistant. UK business owners can all agree that once the systems for daily business operations are in place, real growth can occur.
It’s hard to let go as a business owner; you’ll want to put your trust in someone with the relevant skillsets and dedication.
