How do you plan to stay on track over the silly season?
For those of you out there (most of us) in small businesses, how do you stay on track over Christmas and the silly season?
Do you have a formal business plan or just roll with it? Do you resign to the fact that things are going to be a bit all over the shop for the next 2 months or so as people wind down, go on Christmas holidays and take a break.
Over here in Australia it is summer and it all gets a little harder to focus and put in the usual hours as Xmas parties start, beach breaks seems a little more enticing and everyone over here takes a few weeks off.
Any tips for keeping on track over the silly season so I don't end up laying in the pool for the next month is greatly appreciated.
I have a few things set up that will tick over and bring in some business, but for the most part as business winds down so too will some of the work I am doing so I don't want to make my pipeline too lean...
