“Either run the day or the day runs you.” - Jim Rohn
EP 175
The solo entrepreneurial journey can often feel like a winding path filled with challenges, especially when it comes to time management and productivity. Our latest podcast episode delves into these complex issues with our guest, Maya, a professional virtual assistant who specializes in working with sustainable and ethical businesses.
One of the most common struggles for solo business owners is managing their time effectively. We live in a digital age where distractions, such as social media notifications and endless emails, can quickly derail our productivity. Maya emphasizes the importance of having a plan and sticking to it, highlighting the valuable lessons we can learn from younger generations about sustainability and time management.
When taking on new projects or adding services to your business, it's crucial to be clear about your goals. Understanding what you want to achieve can help you prioritize tasks and manage your workload more effectively. Maya shares how she breaks down complex projects into manageable chunks, reducing the overwhelm and making the process less daunting. This approach is particularly useful when you're a solo entrepreneur without the support of a VA.

Maximising your time as a business owner is about understanding your goals and knowing how to prioritize tasks. Maya suggests creating a personalized system to help you stay accountable. Using project management software, such as Asana or Click Up, can make a significant difference, especially if you're planning to expand your team in the future.
Our conversation with Maya also delved into the personal side of entrepreneurship. She shared her favourite snacks, books, and activities, providing a more rounded view of her life outside of work. Maya discussed how she disconnects from work, revealing the challenges of taking time off.
Throughout our discussion, Maya's expertise in time management and productivity shone through. Her practical tips and strategies provide a valuable roadmap for solo entrepreneurs navigating their own business journeys. Regardless of where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, the insights shared in this episode can help you manage your time more effectively and boost your productivity.
Ultimately, mastering time management and productivity as a solo entrepreneur involves a combination of clear goal setting, effective task prioritization, and efficient project management. By implementing these strategies, you can regain control of your time and focus on what truly matters - growing your business and achieving your entrepreneurial dreams.
Until next time
