How To Take Action

I would suggest focusing on the things that have the biggest impact if delayed, and that are tough to change once done. For example, if you're moving or making office changes, think about the cost and effort. Make sure you're choosing what's most important, and don't rush into the hard-to-reverse stuff.

A good way of doing things is to be flexible with your leadership. As things at work change, you might need to act different to lead well. Sometimes you need to ask your team what they think because they know a lot. When hiring new people, look for leaders who can work on their own. You want a team that doesn't wait for you to tell them what to do.

Encourage your team to give you their ideas and share your thoughts back. This helps everyone get on the same page. It's key to make sure your team knows how to talk to each other well. Set up meetings and ways of chatting that make it easy for everyone to stay updated.

Don't forget to be real in everything you do, whether you're the boss or making videos. Show people who you really are.

Make sure you're growing and learning new things. You can't let yourself slow down your own business. Be willing to change how you do things if it means doing a better job.

Keep your days flexible. You might need to fit in different tasks like creating stuff, planning, or talking to your team. Don't get stuck in a routine if it stops you from doing what's needed.

Here's what you specifically need to do:

• Check what tasks need immediate action and do those first.
• Change your leadership style to fit the situation.
• Listen to your team and bring in new leaders.
• Share information to understand each other better.
• Set up a good way for your team to talk to each other.
• Always act like the real you in all parts of your work.
• Keep learning and be ready to do different things.
• Plan your day around your tasks, and stay flexible.
