The Importance of Boundaries: Setting Office Hours for Online Business Owners (2024/224)

🌟 Protect Your Time and Sanity with Clear Office Hours! 🌟

As an online business owner, especially one handling delegated work from clients, setting and maintaining office hours is crucial for avoiding burnout and ensuring high-quality work. Learn how to establish boundaries that protect your personal time while keeping your business running smoothly.

🌟 Key Takeaways:

Set Defined Office Hours: Customize your hours to align with your client base while ensuring personal time. Consistency is key—consider working from 10 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday.

Communicate Clearly: Use email signatures, onboarding processes, and automated responses to set expectations with clients about your availability.

Enforce the Boundary: Use scheduling tools like Trello, Monday, or Asana to manage tasks and prevent last-minute disruptions. Turn off notifications after hours and delegate urgent matters to a team member.

Tune in to learn how setting office hours can help you maintain balance, improve productivity, and create a structured work environment that benefits both you and your clients! 🌟

The Gap Effect: Helping Small Businesses Win Big Contracts with Bronwyn Reid (E45, S2026)

Could your small business win work with a large company or government? Being good at what you do matters, but a prospective buyer also wants to know they can depend on you.

Bronwyn Reid, business mentor and author of Small Company Big Business, joins Charly to discuss what it takes to become that supplier. Drawing on nearly 30 years of supplying larger organisations through her environmental services business, Bronwyn shares some hard-earned lessons:

✅ Why a bigger buyer might see risk where you see great service.
➡️ What’s worth preparing before a contract catches your eye.
⚡ Where smaller businesses can find opportunities they might otherwise overlook.
⭐ Why competing for work doesn’t rule out working together.

A larger contract could bring more consistent income, but is your business ready to take it on?

Join Charly and Bronwyn for a conversation about closing that gap, including the work involved and where to find help.
