How Can Business People Juggle Selling Their Own Property?

As a business owner, you might be used to dealing with the stresses and tensions that occur in the everyday running of your business, but how do you manage these when you have stress at home, too? Moving is one such event, and you might find that you struggle with selling your house more than you expected. If that is the case, here is a guide that can help you juggle selling your property and moving house with running your business.

1.   Hold on to Your Values

There are many values that you might have developed through becoming a business owner that you prioritise within your business. For instance, you might believe it is particularly important to protect the environment by minimising paper usage and recycling. If this is the case, you should try to hold on to these values throughout your house move, too. This can help you feel more positive and in control, seeing your house move as just another business task that needs completing. It can also give you another chance to put your values into practice and act upon them. However, you might not have as much knowledge when it comes to applying your values to your move. This means you need to research how to move house in an eco-friendly way, and there are many resources online to help you with this.

2.   Set Aside Your Business-Related Items

Your house move can be disruptive to your business, and you might find that you struggle to meet deadlines and complete tasks while you pack your possessions and shift your stuff. To allow you to carry on working to the last second and prevent you from spending hours searching for the work gadgets and files you need, you should pack your business-related items last. Instead of packing them, you should set them aside within easy reach or take them to the office with you. This will ensure that you do not have to put your business on hold until all of your possessions are in the right place once more.

3.   Work from Home

Sometimes, you might be overwhelmed by all the tasks that you need to complete for your move, and you might worry about when you will get the time to do these. If that is the case, you might consider working from home for a while, as this can allow you to enjoy the flexibility that you need. For example, you might decide to work in the morning and pack in the afternoon or give your home a fresh lick of paint between meetings. By doing this, you will be easily able to adjust your work/life balance to your situation.

4.   Delegate to Others

Although you might usually want to control the majority of your business operations yourself, when you are moving house, it is alright to let go of the reins a little and allow someone else with experience to take over. This employee should be trusted and have up-to-date training. They should also be given all the information they need to complete the tasks you are delegating to them. This will help to take some of the burden off your shoulders while enabling you to relax, knowing that your business is in good hands. If this delegation is successful, you might even find that you do not need to go into the office as much after the move is completed.

5.   Organise Your Finances

There are many transferrable skills that can help you push your home move along, including compromise, deal creation, time management, administration, and financial organisation. The best way to organise your finances is to keep your business and personal accounts separate, ensuring that you always have enough money both for packing companies and estate agents and new company gadgets and business travel. This will prevent your money from getting tangled and will mean you can appropriately budget for both your move and your venture’s essentials. This financial organisation will also make your tax return much easier when January comes around.

6.   Set the Office Up First

Once you have completed your move, the first step you should take is to set up your home office. This will allow you to get back into routine as soon as possible and will mean there is no delay to the work you need to do. This will also allow you to test your new working setup, including the Wi-Fi, before you have completely settled in. This will give you an efficient and positive space to run your business even in this transitional period.
