Keeping overheads to a minimum where possible and taking a proactive approach for when business slows down can often alleviate stress and anxiety and see you through the tough times. Half the battle is knowing that and knowing when that will be.
Lower your risk by planning your workflow evenly throughout the year or taking advantage of opportunities identified.
Invest in your image
Perception is everything in business. As the face of the business consider how you want people to see you in the marketplace. Talk to your customers and suppliers and ask what they think of your branding.
Whether you have a shop-front or running a virtual office investing wisely in creating a consistent brand by designing a logo, business cards and website can promote your business and facilitate long-term growth.
Strategically market your business

strategic ways.
Stay in touch with your marketplace whether it be attending seminars,
sending out newsletters or getting involved with the community.
When you are marketing yourself, you need to entice your customers
by giving them good information that’s free and helpful but not
annoying. Know when enough is enough.

Keep it Simple. The key to keeping your customers attention is to focus on them and explain what you do briefly and with relevance to them. Avoid giving them a history lesson about the origins of your business. Having a corporate identity and the correct branding can also help tell your story.
Give yourself a break

No one functions at their best when they feel overworked. You are your businesses biggest asset so take some downtime and give yourself some space to recharge and clear your head. Who knows you might even come up with a great new idea!
