People often ask me what my day looks like as a consultant, so here are some examples of daily tasks:
📧 Checking and responding to emails
🖇 Quick review of LinkedIn major happenings and respond to messages
☎ Make any necessary phone calls
🗄 Look for networking opportunities - I join other organizations, attend lunches, schedule coffee or lunch meetings - anything I can do to network with other people
📅 I have a calendar that I use to plan and manage my social media posts
📣 So, once a week, I create and schedule my social media posts using Canva
🎧 Client work: Depending on what client projects I am working on, I may be working on accounting documents, filling out schedules, doing research, preparing for a presentation, and having meetings - my work changes from day to day!
🏆 I like to look for professional certifications that benefit my business. I am Enneagram certified. I am currently working on the Quickbooks certification.
📖 I'm always reading something! It might be fiction, but often books and articles that are relevant to my clients, personal development, or leadership. My current topic of interest is navigating change and transitions in life!
✍ I also spend a little time each day writing. I am writing my dissertation, so it is a priority. I also write blog posts, have recently written a devotional, and write in my journal. I am a huge fan of sending handwritten notes of encouragement, so I do that too!
I hope this gives you an idea of what I work on each day! If you're a consultant or entrepreneur, tell us some other tasks that frequently land on your desk!
