So many things too little time what do you do?  | | I find I have so many things going that I can't seem to get one of them to take off. I am starting up my own business yet I have a part time job, a seperate business of my own and a family that take up a lot of my time. I have started the website for my business and placed a few free ads but now I am stuck. I know I should go out and place flyers and contact companies but where do you find the time? Just so you know it is a virtual assistance business. If I quit my part time job then that guaranteed income is gone and if I try to do it around that job then I am not home with my children when they are home. Any suggestions?

She has excellent tips and hints for getting organised so that everything fits into the day. Although a lot of the site deals with 'housework' things, many of her tips and strategies can apply to any busy person.
Families do take up a lot of time and, of course, they are really the main reason why you are working extra in the first place. Remember that the best form of advertising is word of mouth. Flyers are expensive and time consuming to distribute and, knowing the way that I deal with flyers, I wonder how effective they really are. I suppose that you could pay someone to distribute them (one needn't pay a great deal), which is an added cost to the advertising budget. Sometimes it is worth paying someone else, though, to save yourself time.

You could make a day with the kids to go out and place your fliers around. This will get them involved and excited to be part of your business. You can even treat them at the end with lunch or something.
