In this episode, I’m going to cover prioritising tasks in your business  and what you should focus on first. One of the members of my neurodivergent business collective recently asked me this question: 'I'm not sure of the order to follow. What should I set up first? What will help my business? How much time could be allocated to different business tasks?' This question, and I feel like many of you will benefit from hearing the answer. So I thought I would make today's podcast episode all about this. I think an important factor here is that depending on the stage of your business, there will be different amount of time spent on different parts of your business.    Learn more and join the collective waitlist here: https://ndbusiness.co/neurodivergent-business-collective/ Affirming Communication for Autistic Children Course for Speech Therapists - Info here: https://playlearnchat.com/acac-course/ (Registrations open until 5th July) Coverkit Link - https://partners.convertkit.com/r0q3orewj68e Guide to Raising Prices in an NDIS Capped World - https://courses.playlearnchat.com/offers/pazgwu2f/checkout Free things for neurodivergent business owners: ndbusiness.co/freebies   Learn more about future events: https://ndbusiness.co  www.instagram.com/neurodivergent.business
