How a Virtual Assistant can calm your Christmas stress.
It’s now ok to mention the ‘C’ word – the countdown to Christmas is officially on.
For small business owners, especially those in retail or hospitality, the pace is already picking up. The next few Autumn weeks will soon disappear, and the feverish, non-stop season will soon be upon us. While you’re working hard to make the most of the festive season, your own Christmas to-do list might be quietly building up in the background. Before you know it, it’s Christmas Eve, and you’re battling the crowd in John Lewis, with your own last-minute Christmas shopping.
The end of the year can feel like a sprint, tying up loose ends on work projects, hitting year-end targets, and still trying to plan where, when and how you’ll spend Christmas. From travel plans and dinner menus to gift lists and wrapping, there’s plenty to juggle.
So before the festive frenzy really kicks in, now’s the perfect time to ask: what could you take off your plate?
