If you’re anything like me you just don’t have enough hours in your day, days in your week and weeks in your month to accomplish everything you set out to do, that is on your to do list.
If you’re running a small business as a Face Painter or Children’s Entertainer AND you’re also holding down another job, that can be a double nightmare. I know so – because I’ve been there!
You know you need to put in the hours to run your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business effectively, especially if you intend at some stage to ‘give up your day job’, but your other commitments elsewhere are such a drain on your time. You may have the additional responsibility of keeping home and bringing up the kids (if you have them) and sometimes it can all get too much. Oh yeah, and then there’s your social life – social life I hear you say, what social life.
You need to set a discipline in the ever-feuding battle between ‘Organisation vs. Disorganisation’.
To become smartly organised and on top of your game in your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business you need to think about everything, and I mean everything, that your daily and weekly life throws at you and devise a structured time management plan to help you through.
Sit down in a quiet room and make a comprehensive list of everything, yes everything that you do daily, weekly and monthly. This is the basis for your time management plan.
Your list would need to include all eventualities such as:
Draft a 24/7 time plan with 30 minutes slots (a bit like an appointment diary), perhaps doing one page per day, and take every action above and feed it into the relevant time slots. Don’t forget to include empty time and quality time.
By doing this will give you a clearer picture of how much actual time can be devoted to your Face Painting or Children’s Entertainment business. If it turns out that you only have 14 hours per week available then you must make sure that you use that time effectively and prioritise each week by only doing actions in your business that are going to be wealth creation in order to move the business forward. Don’t waste those valuable 14 hours doing un-necessary tasks that will keep your business stagnant.
So stop saying that you haven’t got enough time – you probably have, you just need to make better use of it!
Is Your Face Painting Or Entertainment Website In Need Of A Drastic Workout
To run a Face Painting or Entertainment business without a website is like being a window cleaner without a ladder! The two go hand in hand, always have, always will.
