It's a tough time to be a small business owner in a lot of sectors right now.

The UK lockdown has impacted everyone in one way or another whether that's financially or mentally. Those of us who are parents feel the pain of the homeschooling burden, and the emotional pressure to stay upbeat and not worry the children about any of it.

It's a different lockdown this time because it's cold and dark, but also we've been here before.

Perhaps you're ready this time and feel better but if you don't, that's nothing to be ashamed of.

If you need any business advice or marketing ideas etc. Please just ask on here.

There are plenty of lurkers who don't post all the time but will happily offer their advice and share knowledge. And if we don't know we'll try and point you in the right direction of someone who does.

Lockdowns can be lonely times, so reach out to people and check in on friends who go quiet.

Hopefully the vaccinations will continue to be administered across the country and we can see some hope by spring.

Take care of yourself and just shout if you need any help. 

I assume you mean what happened? It was dreadful. And to think it was a coup incited by the President himself is shocking indeed. I think it's about time we saw the back of Trump! I was glad to see her got banned from Facebook and Twitter. 

It was a really brutal week with the lockdown kicking in and the schools being closed suddenly!

It's a good time to support small businesses if you can for sure. It's not being any easier just yet!

Hopefully the vaccinations continue and we can see some freedom return in the spring. I really hope so for everyone's sake! 

I'm going to rent an office as I simply cannot work at home and my camper van office isn't an option currently. It's all been quite stressful with the kids here. 

What a year huh?

There have been some highs but a long and tiring low which affected us all. And it isn't done with us yet.

But we can congratulate ourselves for being resilient and for making it to the end of the year! Home schooling, Joe Wicks and some virus thing did try and stop us but we're still here and I hope you are still smiling.

We can't control what is going on around us but we can control our reaction to it and our own little worlds, so I plan to focus on that by working on myself and my business going forward. 

Happy New Year to you and your families. I hope you enjoy whatever you get up to tonight. As a parent I am already used to a boring NYE anyway! 

Was this supposed to be aimed at someone specific? 

Great tips. And good luck managing your 350 staff, did you get them all a Christmas present? Haha. 

This is really interesting and might work well for my CV course. Hmmmm...

It's a lot of new content, my children watch people's YouTube shows. The creators are making millions.
