How to Make the Most of Your Weekends to Grow Your Side Business 

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

How to Make the Most of Your Weekends to Grow Your Side Business
Building your business on the side is not easy. You come home after a long day of work, you spend the little time you have with your family and friends, and you try to jam in a productive session, working on your side business before going to bed.
Your weekends allow you to get much more done in much larger chunks. They’re usually where you’re most capable of growing your business or having the most impact on your business when you’re working a day job.
However, are you making the most of your weekends? How often do you find yourself distracted or making excuses when you’re not getting enough done? How should you structure your weekends? What does a weekend, optimized for productivity and growing a business, look like?
I’m going to answer these questions and share what has worked for me, and continues to work for me. Additionally, I’m going to share my action plan, exactly how I structure my weekends, and what I do every weekend that has helped me grow my side business and maintain a great work/work balance.

Switch Up Your Frame

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

The first thing you need to consider is how do you think of your weekends.
What you do during the week should set you up to get more done on the weekend. Don’t use your weekends to support the stuff you do during the week, instead, whenever you come home from your day job and begin working on your business, make sure it supports what you plan to do over your weekend.
For example, if you’re planning to tackle your website’s design over the weekend then choose templates, design logos, draw layout ideas  and write copy throughout the week. That way, when the weekend rolls around, you can focus on the most important task - getting the website up.

Making Your Weekdays Support Your Weekend

 https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom

Whenever you think up a task or project, but can’t make time for it during the week, David Allen, author of Getting Things Done suggests you add it to a “next actions” list instead of a “to-do” list. Throwing items into a to-do list is non-actionable. If you set an ordered list, of the next things you need to do for your business, it will require and encourage you to make quick decisions.
Think up a great, actionable idea for your business?  Put it in your “next actions” list. Come up with a new marketing idea that will take several hours to implement? Put it in your “next actions list.”

At the end of the week, organize these ideas, tasks, and projects into timeslots throughout your weekends, then pull each task from your next actions list and move  it into your calendar for the weekend. (More on this in the next section)
Now let’s get into what a typical weekend looks like for me, and how you should consider structuring yours to get more done.

How to Structure Your Weekend

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

Friday

While you won’t have as much time on Fridays to get as much done as you can on Saturday or Sunday, it’s a good time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished throughout the week and what you plan to do over your weekend

Reflect

It’s good to sit down for five minutes, before planning out your weekend, to reinforce what has (or hasn’t) been working for you.
Not taking the time to see where you went right and wrong can stunt your growth as an entrepreneur. Your business only grows when you do. Here are some questions you can ask yourself:
  • What were my top wins this past week?
  • What didn’t I get done?
  • Where did I waste time this past week?
  • What was the best part of my week?
You can answer these questions out loud or write them down in a journal or private document (like Google Docs or Evernote).

Plan of Attack

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

Now it’s time to schedule your weekend. Set blocks of time for each task and get your priorities in check.
Your weekend should be flexible. Things happen and you can’t always stick to your schedule. However, don’t use that as an excuse to procrastinate. Stay flexible for when “life” happens, but don’t stay flexible just because Game of Thrones or your favorite TV show might be on.
Before planning out your weekend,  ask yourself a few questions to get a better perspective on what needs to get done:
  • What must I get done no matter what this weekend?
  • Are there any potential distractions or commitments this weekend that I will need to account for?
Now it’s time to plan your weekend for success.
First, if you don’t know what you should be doing, use the Pareto Principle. Look at the 20% of things you’ve been doing for your business that have yielded 80% of your results.
Next, use a tool like Trello or even Google Calendar to set your schedule for the next two days. Pull the tasks you put off from your “next actions” list and start to schedule them into your weekend. If the task can be done in five minutes or less, do it immediately (yes, while you’re still scheduling your tasks) instead of putting it off for the weekend.
In the next section, I’ll talk about what your Saturday and Sunday might look like to help you figure out how to make the most of your weekend.
Here’s an example of what my Trello board, “Weekly To-Do”, looks like:

Generally, you’ll want to tackle the most difficult or time-consuming tasks first. If you don’t think you’ll be able to complete all your tasks for the day, do the most important things first. The most important task is up to your discretion, but generally, if it has a looming deadline or will make the most immediate impact on your business, it’s the most important task.

Saturday

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

Let’s carry over that excitement and momentum from Friday’s reflection and planning, and begin to tackle the most important tasks on Saturday.

“Airplane Mode” Saturdays

So, because you hopefully have scheduled the most important or difficult task first, that’s where you’ll be spending most of your Saturday. It’s also likely to be your most time-consuming task, which is why it’s also important to get it out of the way as quickly as possible.
The key to getting more done on the weekends is focus. Sounds simple, right?
On paper, sure, but in reality, there are a lot of distractions and excuses to keep you distracted.
My Saturdays are usually the most productive day of my weekends. I like to put myself into “Airplane Mode”. Much like how your phone’s Airplane Mode which disables all of your phone’s connectivity to the internet, I do the same thing by cutting myself off from distractions.

Though it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get much done without the internet there are tools you can use to help keep you from wandering off and browsing Facebook, while staying connected to the internet.
These are the Chrome extensions I use to put myself in “Airplane Mode” every Saturday.
  • StayFocused - Block out the sites that steal your time so that you can work on what matters.
  • RescueTime - Track all your time on the internet to later review where you waste the most time.
  • News Feed Eradicator - Sometimes, I can’t block Facebook using a tool like StayFocused because I use Facebook to manage my ads and pages. However, with News Feed Eradicator, my news feed goes from distraction filled mess to motivational or inspirational quote.
  • Momentum - This extension replaces your new tab screen with an inspirational photo and a reminder of your most important task for the day.
  • Simple Pomodoro - If you’re not familiar with The Pomodoro Technique, it helps you work in small intervals of 25 minutes of getting stuff done and a short 5 or 10 minute break. Instead of plowing through without taking a break, Simple Pomodoro is a timer that will alert you when it’s time to take a break and when it’s time to get back to work.

Sunday

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

I don’t like to lose the momentum I created on Friday and Saturday, however, even I understand that there are errands and things that need to be done on the weekend. That’s what Sunday’s for.
If I have time on Sunday, I will finish any other tasks, but if I can’t, I will add them back to my “next actions” list or simply schedule them for next weekend.

Schedule Content for the Week

Spend some time automating whatever you can for the following week. For example, every Sunday evening, I use Buffer to schedule all my social media posts until the following Sunday.
You can do this as well. Spend your Sunday evenings briefly scheduling out social media posts, planning out blog content, or scheduling emails to be sent to your email list.

Plan Your Week Ahead

I use Trello (you can use any scheduling tool you feel comfortable with) to plan out the week ahead. This way, I know exactly what I should (and need) to be working on when I get home from work. I’m not wasting time on deciding what to do or trying to figure out what to do next. I just come home and take action.

Set Goals

https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

If you don’t already, I strongly suggest writing down and tracking weekly goals for yourself and your business. Some example goals you can set are:
  • I will easily launch my new ecommerce website by Saturday this week
  • I will easily go to the gym at least 3 times this week
  • I will easily get 10 sales to my store by Saturday this week
  • I will easily double my store’s weekly traffic, from 100 visitors to 200 visitors, by Saturday this week

  • Writing your goals down helps keep you accountable and brings you clarity. How do you really know what you want to accomplish in life and in your business if you’re not tracking it?

    Prime Yourself for the Week Ahead

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    Stop dreading Mondays every Sunday night. Set the tone for an amazing week. Look forward to getting up early, tackling your morning routine and getting home after your 9-to-5 to work on your side business. Make your Sunday nights amazing!
    Watch a few motivational videos on YouTube or an inspiring Ted Talk, read a Shopify success story, or learn something new before going to bed. You don’t have to over-stimulate yourself, just put yourself in the right mindset before going to bed.

    Rinse and Repeat

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    Now it’s just a matter of repeating this process and becoming really good at adapting it. You won’t be perfect and won’t always have the most productive weekends - I know I don’t.
    However, making an effort to work at it every weekend and putting in that work, even when it’s only for a few hours, can make all the difference. All of those efforts begin to add up over time and before you know it, you can have a full-time ecommerce empire on your hands.
    What do you think? How do you, as a sidepreneur, manage to build your ecommerce empire on the side while working a 9-to-5? How will you make this upcoming weekend much more productive? Let me know in the comments below. I engage and respond with everyone.

    There are a number of Shopify reviews and we’re the first ones to admit, choosing the right e-commerce online shop builder is tough.
    A lot of reputable online shop builders give you all sorts of tools and it’s confusing – which one is the right one for you?
    In our minds, if you are starting a new online business, or just bringing an existing business to the online world, Shopify is definitely one of the easiest ecommerce builders to help you create your online shop (we’ll explain why below).
    Shopify is a leading online shop builder – it is currently powering over 175,000 online shops and has helped businesses process over $10 billion worth of sales. Take a look at these examples here and you can see what Shopify can do for you.  You can also see a lot of customer success stories here.https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom
    It doesn’t matter if you are just starting a new online shop, or bringing an offline store online to grow your business, the last thing you want to do is troubleshoot technology.  Shopify can help you save time so you can focus on other important aspects of your business.
    One key thing that we think Shopify has done exceptionally well, is invite other vendors (such as theme designers or online tools providers) to integrate their services and products into Shopify, making Shopify a 1-stop-shop for all the tools you’ll need to create a successful online shop.  We’ll give you more details below https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom

    How Earning $100, $500 or $1,000/month With a Small Business Can Change Your Life

    Everyone wants to be rich. Big homes, fast cars, exotic trips - what’s not to like?
    There’s no harm in dreaming big, but setting unrealistic goals for your new business can make it hard to stay motivated.
    Instead of worrying about your first million, think about what you could do with an extra $100, $500 or $1,000/month. Even a (relatively) small amount of extra income can make a big impact on your quality of life.
    Unconvinced? I’ll prove it to you..
    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom

    How to Spend an Extra $100/month

    It may not sound like much, but an extra $100/month can significantly improve your long-term financial health. Here are a few helpful suggestions for newly-successful business owners.

    Put it in a college fund

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    College and university are expensive, so give your kids a leg-up by putting your new earnings in a high-interest savings account. Joel Larsen, a certified financial planner, points out that “[saving] $100 a month over 20 years at a 7% rate of return [...] would amass $52,092.67.” Not a bad head start!

    Grow your retirement savings

    Don’t need a college fund? Start putting your newfound income towards your future and ensure a comfy retirement. T. Rowe Price, a global investment management firm, calculated that “if a young adult retiring in 40 years makes an initial contribution of $1,000 to a Roth IRA and adds $100 a month until retirement, he could have more than $250,000—all tax-free under certain conditions.“

    Re-invest in your business (with upgrades)

    An extra $100/month can help take your business to the next level. Spruce up your store with a premium theme, time-saving app or fancy logo.

    Start a rainy day fund

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    Cars need repairs, roofs need patching, and pipes need fixing. It’s bound to happen at some point, and it pays to be prepared. Experts suggest putting away 3-6 month’ salary for an unexpected emergency, so start saving.

    Take more time for yourself

    See a movie every weekend, have a monthly couple’s night out, or upgrade your cable package to finally get HBO.

    How to Spend an Extra $500/month


    Bringing in an extra $500/month has the potential to significantly raise your standard of living. Debts start to shrink, broken things get fixed or replaced, and your confidence as a business owner starts to grow. Here are a few good places to start.

    Accelerate your mortgage payments

    Putting an extra $6,000 towards your mortgage every year can really lower the amount of interest you pay in the long run. According to the RBC, “when you select an accelerated weekly or bi-weekly payment option, you are essentially making the equivalent of one additional monthly payment each year which will help pay off your mortgage faster.”
    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom

    Pay off your debts

    We’ve already mentioned accelerating your mortgage payments, but other things like credit card debt and student loans should really come first. Learn how to prioritize your debts and make the most of your payments.

    Re-invest in your business (by investing in yourself)

     https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom

    Making $500/month is a great start, but if you want to build a successful business, you’ll need to start learning the ropes. Buy books, attend conferences, and read, read, read!

    Build a home office

    Nothing says “startup” like running your business from a laptop in your kitchen. Investing in a home office will help you get more done and add legitimacy to your growing empire.

    Upgrade/renovate your home

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    Update your old bathroom with a new sink one month and a fresh coat of paint the next. The home you’ve always wanted is now within reach.

    How to Spend an Extra $1,000/month


    An extra $1,000/month can be life-changing. These suggestions are geared towards successful business owners who have already paid off outstanding debts and consider this money disposable income.

    Invest

    Pick up a few best-selling books about investing and start putting your money to work. Don't want to go it alone? Speak to a financial advisor about how you can make the most of your extra income.

    Travel the world

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    See exotic places, visit family, or just spend some much-needed down time on a far-away beach. Wherever you're headed, you can definitely afford the trip. Plus, it's important to take some time to relax and recharge.

    Re-invest in your business (with ads)

    By now you've upgraded your store and learned a little about online marketing, so start acquiring new customers with Google AdWords, Facebook Ads and Pinterest!

    Splurge (in moderation)

    Every successful entrepreneur deserves to treat themselves every now and again. Whether it’s a pair of designer shoes or an 80” big-screen, $1000/month can buy you big-ticket items you never thought you'd have.

    Buy a new car

    https://www.shopify.com/?ref=qrsgrom 

    Is your gas guzzler on its last legs? An extra $1,000/month is more than enough to cover payments for a new, fuel-friendly ride.
