Ever been left picking up the pieces after chaos struck your business? Listen in as I, Saskia, share firsthand experiences of weathering the unpredictable storms of podcasting and running a business. From managing a bustling yarn shop to juggling multiple newsletters and a thriving community, I'm here to reveal the systems and strategies I've devised to navigate these hectic waters with calm and grace. Through tales of forgotten yarn orders and unexpected business hurdles, we'll uncover the true importance of being present and how it factored into my journey of business growth and mastering time management. Learn how I reshaped my business approach after an incident at my yarn shop, and how thoughtful planning and system-building can create much-needed breathing space in any business environment. Plus, hear about my unique work routine and my upcoming adventure - a trip to a business hippie summer camp near Brighton! Finally, let's delve into managing stress in a supportive business environment and the secrets to staying afloat in times of crisis. We'll explore why understanding our strengths and weaknesses is a worthy investment of time and money, and how immersing ourselves in our subject matter can help us find focus and energy in times of chaos. On that note, I'll share some handy tools and tips that have helped me manage time and prepare for unexpected events.
