7 Essential Organizational Tips for Small Businesses

There are so many people who think that their business is organized, but wonder why the business isn’t profitable or growing. If you’re currently in a place where you don’t have the money to hire someone to perform a system audit and get your business in order, here are 7 essential organizational tips that you should implement immediately.

1. Keep Up With Customer Support - This is VITAL. Loyal customers are the heart of your business and what helps you to continue expanding. Customer service overall can be a very tedious task, but satisfied customers/clients typically become returning clients. Customer retention is key here.

2. Have a Password Keeper - It’s so important to have an app that holds all of your passwords. NO, I’m not talking about a Google Doc/Sheet, I mean a real password protecting app. My favorites have been 1Password and LastPass. Another word of advice is to make sure that your passwords aren’t the same for every aspect of your business. Allow the password protecting app to develop the password for you so that it’s unique and not easily hackable.

3. Have a Scheduling System - While it’s easy to think that you know what you have lined up for the week, it’s best to utilize things like Google Calendar. Why? Because life happens. If you’re someone who needs meetings scheduled often, using a program like Acquity or Calendly works best. This will keep you from having to constantly offer your available times to people. Set your hours for calls and let them choose.

4. Take Control of Your Time - It’s so good to clock the hours that you’re working daily. This will help you to better organize your day to ensure that your productivity is at its peak. There are plenty of free options available for time trackers, so be sure to utilize them.

5. Schedule Your Social Media in Advance - Having your social media scheduled out for the week takes so much pressure off of you to keep your social consistency up. You should always be scheduling a week ahead so that you’re not working in time.

6. Spend Time Organizing Your Inbox - Having a clean and easily viewable inbox helps tremendously. Start by creating labels that represent the main types of emails that you receive. From there, file items away that are completed to avoid clutter.

7. Keep a Clean Workspace - There is seriously nothing worse than having to work in a cluttered and busy workspace. Try to ensure that you’re keeping your desk area free of anything other than what is needed at that time. Create a space where everything is easily accessible, but not visible.

Wait, So You’re Doing Makeup Now?

If you’ve been on my list for a while, you probably wonder what’s happening. Well, I’ve rebranded the site to be more about my passion for makeup and beauty. I’ve spent a lot of time wondering if I’m making the right decision, but the truth is, I need to follow my heart.

I started a TikTok channel a few months ago to document my journey as a beginner in makeup. Through that, I’ve gained a fantastic community of people who encourage and help me to learn new techniques. Their feedback and overall happiness with my content mean the world to me.

My blog will now be dedicated to my passion, which is creating makeup looks as a beginner and finding ways to improve where I may have made mistakes. I’ll also be documenting the exact products that I use and listing them out for you via ShopMy. I understand if makeup/beauty isn’t for you and you no longer want to follow this page, but I hope you stick around and learn new ways to be inspired through my content.

Be on the lookout for my latest posts, and follow me on TikTok. You can also shop my posts, which will list every item that I used to achieve the look!

I am so excited to have you on this new path with me!! This is only the beginning, as I feel and pray that my passion can become something more than I ever imaged or dreamed!
