Dear Readers, we are well into the new year, and small biz owners are already feeling frazzled and anxious. Accordingly, at your request, we’ve put together a crisis management hit list to help you revisit your new year’s resolution so you can thrive without burning out!
Welcome to the JMS blog, your hub for actionable crisis management tips to level up your brand.
We are back to answer your branding questions after an unexpected, prolonged hiatus working with executives across the U.S. to assess their strengths/weaknesses and beef up leadership skills. Dear Readers, if it is your first visit, this blog is the brainchild of JMStrategy LLC (JMS), a Philadelphia-based crisis management firm that helps brands in free fall strive again.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, the Great Resignation, and the Quiet Quitting chaos, this blog shares practical insights to enhance your leadership style, team management, and goal-setting skills amid any crisis. Now, without further ado, let’s go over the steps to help reset, reclaim, and reignite your new year’s resolutions to crush 2023 like a boss!
Small biz owners never have enough time for themselves.
In the second part of the #BigIdeas2023 series, this blog shared that the side hustle would reign supreme in 2023. Between stubbornly high inflation and more layoffs on the horizon, more of you, Dear Readers, are seeking new revenue sources to supplement an ever-shrinking paycheck. You all flooded our email with requests to share how to start a side hustle and branding tips to make your marketing pitches effective.
This blog is looking forward to creating content around your many requests. However, in the meantime, the JMS team invites you to reset your relationship with time. Entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small biz owners are notorious for overworking. They never have enough time for themselves as they always work long hours and seldom take time off. And often, they find themselves in crisis as they feel helpless, watching their personal lives bleed into their professional ones repeatedly.
Dear Readers, as you enjoy the day off, the JMS team invites you to reset your new year’s resolutions and prioritize self-care. You don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars for massages and golf outings. Hence, Dear Readers, start with small habits to incorporate into the weekly routine that gives you time to relax and reset so that you can always put your best foot forward in business and life.
If that sounds like you, Dear Readers, resolve to prioritize self-care this year. You can start small by taking a lunch break every day or go bigger and treat yourself to a massage, golf break, or even a nice vacation. Giving yourself time to relax and rejuvenate will allow you your best foot forward in your business.

Small biz owners always struggle to delegate.
Dear Readers, this blog cannot stress this simple truth enough. Using time well is the most vital component of running a small biz or side hustle effectively. You cannot do everything all the time. There are only 24 hours in the day, and your work should not consume every waking hour at the expense of your mental health and the wellness of your loved ones.
Thus, Dear Readers, use this federal day off to reclaim your time by delegating more to employees. Do not succumb to the temptation to manage every aspect of your small biz on your own. There are repetitive tasks that you can delegate to a virtual assistant that will leave you free to explore new growth avenues or spend more time with loved ones.
Small biz owners underestimate the value of making room for learning.
Personal development is the hallmark of success. Why? Because innovation is inevitable. Do you want to keep improving, or do you want to be left behind and forgotten? These are your only choices, Dear Readers!
Therefore, why not enjoy your MLK Day 2023 to reignite your love of learning? Take your day off to devise a plan to explore what new skill you can learn and stick to within 2023. Obviously, entrepreneurs tend to be so obsessed with making their small biz profitable that they neglect all other aspects of their lives. Overall, Dear Readers, take this crisis management reminder to make room for learning. It could be a manual task as simple as joining a boxing or painting class or a cooking/baking club. Making time to learn does not have to revolve around improving your business skills. Undoubtedly, there is more to life than work. Okkkkuuuuurrrrr, as Cardi B and the hip younger JMS staff members, would say!
