RT 19 | How to Rebuild Your Business and Your Life
Today’s episode is a mental health resource, brought to you by Alterna Savings. Our host Cherry Rose shares three practical tips to rebuild your business and life so that you can end the year on a strong note.
The first tip that we talk about is work-life integration. The work-from-home model has totally blurred lines between the personal and the professional. Needless to say, this new normal can drastically impact our capability to do “deep work.”
We are continuously required to switch between our personal and professional tasks – which is extremely counter-productive. In this first segment of the show, Cherry Rose Tan shares some practical tips so that we can regain our focus in spite of all the distractions.
Secondly, you will receive some valuable lessons on risk mitigation. COVID is a black swan event that has disrupted our lives and businesses in a huge way. In this scenario, it is easy to play the blame game instead of retaining an objective mindset. Cherry Rose shares how prepping 90-day plans can help you get tangible and actionable insights.
The last segment of the show is particularly interesting as Cherry Rose talks about the importance of systems and processes. Cataloging a solution, whenever you solve a problem, can create a powerful playbook that can be easily referenced whenever required.
Additionally, you will also learn how can use psychometrics to assess your personality type and your work style. We hope you enjoy this show!
