24 tasks to put your business first for a change

Published on:

As a small business it’s hard to find time to work on your business rather than in your business. 

During December I’ve shared 24 tasks over on Instagram that you can do as a small business owner or freelancer to put your business first for a change.

The best bit?

They all take less than 24 minutes from start to finish.

If your small business is super busy in the run up for Christmas then just bookmark these tasks for the new year. In fact, they are a great way to treat yourself to a bit of love any season.

🎁 Treat yourself to a trivial benefit!
