✏️ Refocus

Our directory members have been supporting each other through what feels like an especially slow, slow season. The question continuously goes back to, How do ya’ll find work when it’s slow? And when work just isn’t out there, how do you make the most of the downtime instead of letting it eat you alive. The way I usually cope with the slow season is by turning my attention to back office tasks and internal revamps that I just don’t have time for when things are rolling along. It also helps to set aside some cash, knowing that slower months are part of the cycle, so I can allow myself to approach these internal projects with ease.

📚 Get Smart

Hire people that are “smarter” than you. Great business owners aren’t intimidated by hiring people who are “smarter” or “better” than them at specific things. Hiring people that excel in areas where you fall short helps propel your business forward. It’s all about building a team and leaning into people’s expertise to grow together. You have a big vision, the people you hire should be able to make this come to life in ways that make sense to the business. The flip side here is, you need to be open to seeing that there may be “better” ways to do things than how you’ve always operated.
