150 | Getting Back to Basics

Hey friends! As much of the world is currently in isolation and practicing social distancing, I wanted to encourage you. I hope this episode will help you find direction in this uncertain time and remind you to keep pushing forward. To be completely honest, my head was spinning with things that I wanted to say but I know we’re all facing completely different circumstances.

None of us have ever faced something like this before and we’re all going through something different from one another. Business advice isn’t a one size fits all and what works for one person may not work for someone else so today I want to share what I’m doing in my business in case it’s relatable or helpful for you.

ON TODAY’S EPISODE:

How right now is an unprecedented time and we’re all dealing with this in different ways
Setting priorities within the business
Taking a look at your business finances to examine your runway and unnecessary expenses
Stripping down to the basics of executing certain processes
Connecting with your people - clients, colleagues, community members

“We’ve never experienced anything like what we’re going through right now with COVID-19 in our lifetime. Which means there is no playbook for how to run our businesses right now.” - Katie Hunt

“While I have a lot of ideas and solutions to dispense — they aren’t one size fits all.” - Katie Hunt

“Many of my friends who have office spaces are working from their kitchen tables again. Clients who have warehouses are shipping products from their homes instead of their studios. We’re all adapting, working within our new normal and doing the best we can.” - Katie Hunt

“We’re getting back to basics in that we’re simplifying everything we possibly can internally — if something doesn’t benefit the overall health of the business or drive revenue — then we don’t need to be doing it.” - Katie Hunt

“Everyone is going through a tough time right now, and now more than ever we need to be checking in on one another.” - Katie Hunt

“Remember why you do the work you do. Brainstorm ways you can simplify your business while still producing the same or better results.” - Katie Hunt
