How to prioritise when everything is a priority

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to an excellent question from wedding videographer Charlene McNabb.

She says:

“Hi Frankie and Steve! Happy New Year!

I'm sitting here with a notepad. Two actually. One has my 'to-do' list on it that I created before Christmas (check me out for being super organised). The other has what to prioritise over the next 6 weeks, but here's where the overwhelm has come flooding in.

When you're running your own business and need to do ALLLLL the things, how do you prioritise stuff when everything is a priority?

The list ranges from loads of paid client work (editing and stuff), to updating the website and portfolio (important, as it’s key wedding-planning season), to marketing and SWOT analysis, accounts and even stripping the bloody paint off the stairs.

I mean, I'm happy to push that last one back, it's been on the back burner for 8 years now anyway, but still…

Do you think you can send some wisdom my way please?

Thanks, Charlene”
