What does flexibility mean to you?

Being in business for yourself can seem like a roller-coaster ride at times. There are the incredible highs and then there are the incredible lows. Despite this we continue to work in/on our business which can seem to be a bit crazy at times to those not in business themselves. I know that my family and friends have all thought I was a bit looney for being a small business owner but what can I say except that I love what I do.

The key for me has always been flexibility and the willingness to find new solutions. When working from home stopped ‘working’ for me, I moved into an office space. When I had more work than I could handle I found subcontractors and employees. When my IT became painful I researched and found new solutions.

Here at Tilda Virtual Services we’re all about change and we constantly ask ourselves, ‘is this the most efficient way to do this?’ ‘how can I improve this process?’. We look for ways in which to make ourselves more efficient, we keep up to date on the latest toy on the market and we’re not afraid to sit down as a team and say ‘hey, this isn’t working for me/you/the client’ and to me this gives us an advantage over other businesses in the same industry.

So let me leave you with a question. What are you doing that needs changing and adapting? Are you honest with yourself about being flexible? Could your business do with a bit more flexibility?
