Business with a Baby #1
Hi everybody.
Jasmine here from LVL Up Consulting, sharing with you my very unique perspective of what it's like to run a small business whilst also having a brand new baby in the house.
This is my second baby, his name is Van. So there's a lot happening. There's a lot of juggling going on in my house and in my life at the moment. And I just want to share a little bit about what's going on in my world.
So last week we actually started the week on a high, we got some really great news which is that I have made it as a finalist for the AusMumpreneur awards for 2022. And those awards recognize fantastic women who are running businesses who are also mothers. It feels very fortuitous that here we are talking about business with a baby and that I have been recognized in that way. I feel very humble to have been recognized. So it's all about prepping for talking to those judges next week. May or may not be taking a little man down to Sydney for the big awards night. So that's very exciting. It's always great to be recognized. Even when you are off the tools and not working on the business day-to-day.
The other thing though that happened last week, it has been roughly six weeks since I've not been in the office on the tools. And the time has been really now to calibrate the team and get that ship back on course. Delivering to our standards, delivering to the LVL Up culture and making sure everyone is doing really proactive, high priority work versus being reactive and stressed and overwhelmed. So that conversation has happened with the team. I'm hoping that that's really going to help them have focus and direction for the week ahead so that we're all very happy moving forward.
That has been us this week, lots happening in terms of the business. Of course from the mum's side of things, little Van has had his first cold already, which is not cool. So really finding that balance and trying to be kind to myself, taking it a little bit easier. Sitting on the couch in the afternoon, if I have to, cause I'm tired from no sleep the night before. But also being on standby for the team and doing those important tasks as well.
So that is us. That is Business with the Baby this week. We'll see you next week.
