Being the Boss of Your Farm Office - Pt. 1 Owning Your Time

“Time cannot be managed – you need to prioritise, and you need to prioritise time for you as well.” – Alison Hamilton Doing the farm books or running a small business office is an important role, that often gets downplayed (including by ourselves!) Women can can feel as though they're playing a supportive or even 'lesser' role in the farm business, often supporting everyone else’s needs first, before their own. <br/><br/>But that mindset will only leave you feeling stressed out and ultimately unsatisfied. So how can you own your role, like the total boss that you are? Alison Hamilton is a business coach based in Wagga Wagga, NSW. She’s also a farmer and has created a course specifically for the farm office, after experiencing the shock and chaos of being handed over the bookwork of her husband’s family business many years ago.  This is a three-part collaboration series on how to be an absolute boss of your farm office; from better time management, getting good systems and process in place, to making sure you have a clutter-free office space.<br/><br/> This episode is all about owning your time; learning how to say “no” (or “maybe later” if you still can’t say it!), writing your own job description to help set boundaries and giving up the illusion of multitasking. <br/><br/>Alison is also offering Ducks on the Pond listeners a 20% off deal on her 6-week program: The Functioning Farm Office. We’ll give you the code you need in the episode!<br/> **Interested in sponsoring an episode or collaborating with us at Ducks on the Pond? We’d love to hear from you!
