Advice to follow when you’re working stuck or scared…though you know this is what you should be doing.

*Takes own advice now*

Let’s forge ahead and change the world for the better today.

Of course, if one of the ā€œreasons it won’t workā€ is that you need more time or more hands than you have, I’ve got ideas of ways to help!

Happy Monday, Business Owner Friends!

Feeling overwhelmed by all that is on your to-do list? Try this:

āœ… Make an Everything List and then prioritize it!

1ļøāƒ£ Grab a fresh sheet of paper or a blank e-document and start filling it
up with EVERYTHING that’s on your mind—both your short-range and
long-term tasks and goals.

That step alone usually makes the overwhelm seem much more manageable!

2ļøāƒ£ Then, prioritize your list, looking first for the urgent and important
tasks. You’ll start with those first! The rest of the tasks can be worked
into the days ahead.

Feels like a workable plan, right? Race you to the šŸ“!

šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļø By the way, a virtual assistant is a good solution for some of those items
on your Everything List! What can’t you get done today/this week? A VA
can help you tackle various routine (and many non-routine) jobs from your
to-do list!

āœ³ļøMore tips for reducing overwhelm can be found on the Primer & Scout page!

Happy Friday, Small Business Owner and Solopreneur friends! As we close out the week, here’s a meaningful question for you to ponder:

Have you clarified your Purpose, Mission, Vision, and Values—for yourself and for your company?

I received an assignment recently: One of my clients—a big-picture visionary—is currently updating his Purpose, Mission, Vision, and Values statements for his personal use and to share with others who are writing their PMVV statements for the first time.

My role is to help clarify each piece of the PMVV as it is developed and refined to make the PMVV as useful as possible both for the client to line his work up to each day as well as for others to learn from during their own PMVV journeys.

Now, back to that question from the beginning…

How about you? Have you clarified your Purpose, Mission, Vision, and Values—for yourself and for your company?

Here’s a starting point, for either yourself or your company:

PURPOSE: Who you are, and why you do what you do. Your reason for existence.

MISSION: Your focus! This communicates the PURPOSE of you or your organization. What do you do, for whom, and why?

VISION: Your future direction! Here is your insight into your future aspirations. Your vision should be inspirational, motivational, and challenging to achieve.

VALUES: Your culture! These are your lasting behaviors that indicate your core principles and ethics.

I'd love to know your PMMV! Drop me a comment or a DM if you are willing to share!

You know, I love what I do...and I'm excited that I can say this:
The doors of Primer & Scout, LLC--an online business solutions firm--are wide open!

Welcome in! Let me reintroduce myself.

I’m a detail-oriented, strategic thinker with an intensely creative side. A musician by training, I’ve been working in the financial industry for nearly 20 years where I’ve honed my natural bent toward business administration and customer service skills.

You’ll find that I love details and design, which I think of as orderliness interrupted by beautiful surprises! More than that, I love words. Yes, you read that right. Words are some of my favorite things—and one of my very favorite things (especially as a sometime songwriter) is an unexpected turn of phrase.

I formed my company both to help you with your business essentials and to use my creativity in new ways.

I look forward to working with you soon!

Time for our mid-week commercial break! Are you a solopreneur or small business owner wondering how to get everything done with the limited number of hours in your week?

FAMILY. CREATIVITY. LIVELIHOOD. COMMUNITY. For many small business owners, these priorities get lost in the shuffle of paperwork, deadlines, and keeping up with the business next door. My name is Elisabeth Drake, and I own a virtual assistance business at Primer & Scout, LLC.

With my 15 years of administrative experience, I help build communities and livelihoods by providing administrative, blogging, research, and marketing services to business owners so they can give their time to the people and work that mean the most to them.

Please contact me if you know a small business owner who wants to return to their true priorities! We can create customized packages that fit the need to a T. I would love to learn how I may help you!

Well, I try to at least! On busy days, I have to remind myself, "One thing at a time." I can multitask and get ahead of myself with the best of them, but as a virtual business manager of teams and projects, I also see the value of FOCUS and PROVEN PROCESSES.

How do you roll? All the things at once, or one step after another? šŸ‘‡
