In this Live session I thought I would pull back the curtain and share the changes I have made to my weekly schedule as a result of this new environment we are all working in. While it's important to me to be productive in my work I’ve also been feeling the need to diversify my activities each day so the days and weeks don’t blur together. 

This has meant making sure that each day has a purpose in my business. I am avoiding simply working on a project on any given day. Instead I am choosing to work on specific items on specific days, which allows me time to focus on planning and strategy. Then I can allocate other days to meetings or project tasks. It took a bit of rethinking and reorganizing, but this new approach to scheduling is working for me!

While some states and countries are relaxing stay-at-home orders, I continue to ensure that I have some virtual personal connection activities planned each week. This ensures that I don’t get lost in my work or feel too isolated. It's so easy to become consumed by all the change and stress, so I am making an effort to plan a little fun into every week! Join me to talk about the changes I'm making and see if some of them don't resonate with you!

I often talk about ways to increase productivity and efficiency, how to improve your business or find the silver lining. And while those are all important things, I want to acknowledge that these are difficult times, and I don't want to give you the impression that I'm productive every single day, or that it’s “business as usual” right now. Just like everyone, I have bad days. Like many of you, I am striving to do my best, but some days I fall short.

In today’s session let’s discuss how to make, and embrace, the adjustments you will necessarily make to your personal expectations as you are adapting to this new way of life. It’s not always easy to stay motivated when things don’t go as planned -- but that alone is a good thing to plan for. Join me for some tips on recovering from difficult days and to understand how going a little easier on yourself can make you even more efficient.

Join me to talk about strategies for pivoting your vegan business to offer dynamic services and products as we are all navigating this unfamiliar business scene. Maybe you are thinking about offering new products or services but you’re not sure which ones will work in this new environment.

So let’s spend some time today talking about how to test new services, products and ideas for your business. In addition I’ll discuss managing the demand for free services when your business still needs to offer paid solutions. And we’ll also talk about the fact that this is a time of trial.

Some things will work and others won’t so it’s a time to find the courage, stamina and inspiration you will need to try new things, despite some risk. And remember, what you learn along the way might be exactly what you needed to position your business for success during these uncertain times.
