ACHIEVE MORE: THREE HOME WORKING TIPS

Do you struggle to get things done now you’re running your own business and are working from home? Do you miss the office banter by the water cooler?

I’m going to share three sweet tips with you to help you get a great home working routine right from the start so that you can get things done and have the work life balance you deserve.

I’m also going to share my home working checklist to get you started on the right track.

When I started my business I was so happy to be avoiding the lengthy commute into London – I won back a whopping three hours a day – but the reality I faced when starting to work from home was less rosy.

I got roped into super urgent family projects that seemed to go on forever.

I ended up signing for everyone’s deliveries on my street and my son sat on my lap demanding attention.

I worked from the kitchen table, either freezing cold or too hot most of the time.

If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into my three easy steps to transforming your work from home routine.

WATCH MY VLOG WITH MORE TIPS 

1 BE A BOSS WHEN YOU’RE WORKING FROM HOME

The first step is to be a boss and manage your stakeholders and their expectations.

Who are your stakeholders in a home setting?

Your family, friends and neighbours. Just because you’re based at home, doesn’t mean that you’re available. You’re the boss of your own time so get them dancing to your tune.

To get your business off to a great start you need to carve out time to work on your business and not just in it. And the last thing you need is endless interruptions from family and friends.

Explain how important it is that they give you time to develop your business so that you can enjoy your family time more.

And continue sharing the message. Until they get it.

2 A HOME OFFICE WHICH MAKES YOU WANT TO WORK

You don’t have to invest a lot but at a minimum you need comfortable seating, good lights and a laptop stand.

You have to look after yourself to have the energy to deliver great work for your clients.

You might want to create videos as part of your marketing in the future so consider creating a photogenic backdrop.

Plants are great in the office too to bring a bit of nature into the home. I like succulents, because they’re easier to keep alive!

3 BEAT OVERWHELM BY BEING UBER ORGANISED 

One of the biggest challenges I see with my Wunderstars coaching clients is knowing what to focus on and where to start.

There are so many things you need to do when you launch a business – marketing, invoicing, finding new clients, sorting out their brand, delivering client work, getting your website done.

And there are so many potential distractions when working from home, just the fact that the fridge is nearby is a distraction for me!

You need to figure out the most important things you need to get done that week/month/quarter to achieve your goals.

Break them into small actionable tasks and schedule them into your diary.

Plan your days and make time for breaks. If you miss the famous ‘water cooler moments’ from your company days, make time to chat with your peers online.

Break your day into chunks and have a plan for what you need to achieve during those time slots. I reward myself by having a coffee when things are done.

Add to your diary when you start and finish, plus when you take breaks.

And once you know your break times, let your family know so they can get coffee ready and look forward to seeing you.

Another great tip for working parents is to schedule out only 75% of your time. This will help you deal with the unexpected. Because let’s face it, we all have to deal with the odd emergency, right?

CLIENTTESTIMONIALS

I've worked with Nicole to particularly find the story that I had within my sales journey. I would say that my email marketing engagement has dramatically gone up because I have committed to the stories that she's helped finding with me. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend working with Nicole. She's just, nonstop positive energy, even if you're not entirely on board with it, I guarantee she'll have enough positive energy for the both of you. And she will absolutely work with you to make it happen and to find that win. So, yeah, I'm wholly on board and I massively endorse any work that Nicole does from Wunderstars.

“I recently had a power hour consultation with Nicole, which I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. I was looking for someone with a marketing and social media background to provide some advice and act as a sounding board. Nicole provided just that - using her down-to-earth and approachable nature, coupled with her extensive experience in the industry, she provided invaluable advice and many actionable tips and recommendations all within the space of sixty minutes.”

"I've always had a bit of an aversion to sharing personal stories, fearing people wouldn't be interested. How wrong I was! Nicole taught me the huge importance of story telling and shining my own unique light on social media. It's made a big difference to my business and I actually now love finding opportunities to do it. Nicole makes everything fun and totally not a chore. I highly recommend Wunderstars coaching."

“I have been working with Nicole for almost a year now and she is one of the most dynamic, enthusiastic and goal-oriented people I have worked with in a long time. She has a wealth of expertise in marketing, personal branding and is an authentic super-power in the social media ecosystem. Nicole has a flair for communicating via social media platforms and really does deliver what she promises”.

"Nicole’s insights were incredibly thought-provoking. She’s really great at asking the right questions and finding pertinent information that I would never have found on my own.Nicole helped me to see things in a fresh way that I hadn’t considered before and pointed out a bunch of really clever approaches previously invisible to me. I’ll definitely be implementing a lot of her personal branding suggestions.Overall just a great experience. Nicole is easy to converse with and who really knows her stuff. Highly recommended!”

I came to Nicole at a crossroads knowing I needed a new direction for my business but not knowing how to embark on it. She gave clarity on how to re-position myself as an Instagram trainer and how to scale up my business in the process. This included convincing me of the benefits of video marketing. I launched four Instagram workshops under her watch, the most recent one being a sell out. Thanks to Nicole I now have a credible business which I believe in. Nicole really pushes her Wunderstars. She is ambitious on our behalf because at the end of the day she wants us to succeed.

Becoming one of Nicole’s Wunderstars was one of the best decisions to get my business Buzzin’. The level of support, encouragement & motivational support has far surpassed my expectations. Since joining the Wunderstars programme, I’ve been encouraged to raise my confidence levels enough to have taken on new clients, dropped the ones that I wasn’t fully committed to, been a guest host & given presentations to a range of online communities. Having Nicole as a coach is a no brainer if you want to build your brand & get your business to the next level.

I joined Nicole’s group Wunderstars programme. It’s been brilliant so far. Nicole is very, very supportive. Her brilliant enthusiasm is giving me a buzz to really build my business. I’m feeling massively supported. We’ve got a WhatsApp group with lovely like minded people who want to grow their business too. And we’re all facing the same sort of problems. So it’s great supporting each other, having Nicole to guide us. She’s checking in on us. She’s cheering us on and sharing lots of brilliant learning resources. I just can’t imagine being with a different coach. She’s brilliant. So come and join it.

Joining Nicole’s Group Wunderstars programme has been one of the best decisions I have made as a business owner! Nicole has helped me find focus and motivation to work in the areas where I have the most skill and expertise, within a niche I love. Wunderstars challenges me to step outside of my comfort zone to try new things, but always with Nicole there to support and champion me at every stage. If you are looking to discover your brand, fulfil your potential and be supported all the way then I can not recommend this programme highly enough.

I’ve worked with Nicole over a number of years. Her infectious sense of enthusiasm, energy and fun help her to get the best out of people. She is creative, knowledgeable and highly professional. Full of ideas, she’s also a very good listener, so works well with senior people to take their ideas and turn them into practical solutions. Most recently Nicole helped me devise a LinkedIn strategy which is already showing great results. She is a joy to work with!
Tim Stocking

Nicole is an amazing personal brand consultant. Nicole has provided invaluable coaching to help me build my personal brand. What she doesn’t know about building the sweetest of online business presences is not worth knowing. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for social media, digital marketing and brand building consultancy and training.
