Winter is here. Okay, so winter hasn’t technically started yet but today is the first snow day of the season here in Grand Rapids so for all intents and purposes, winter is here. The kids are outside playing in the first snowfall of the year, which led me to wonder – what can entrepreneurs do on snow days? Here’s a great big list:
1) Try out some new content curation tools
2) Install a new browser add-on to make your daily tasks easier
3) Look for new local groups for entrepreneurs to join
4) Check out the app store on your phone for business app ideas
5) Browse resources from your local library online
6) Research alternative funding options
7) Call an important client to check-in
8) Begin preparing upcoming client reports to get ahead
9) Schedule a Skype meeting with your mentor
10) Put together that white paper or case study that you’ve been putting off
11) Catch up with old colleagues on LinkedIn
12) Follow up with recent contacts you’ve made at networking events
13) Update any outdated content on your website
14) Test your website’s submission forms
15) Find new followers on your favorite social media platforms
16) Organize your Twitter followers into lists
17) Check Google Analytics for insights and set up a custom recurring report
18) Clean up your messy desk
19) Find local volunteering opportunities to give back to your community
20) Set up A/B testing on your site to test different layouts and design elements
21) Read industry resources online
22) Clean up your Outlook calendar
23) Visualize your future to set personal and professional goals
24) Get some much needed rest to recharge your batteries
25) Spend time with your family – it’s okay to step away from work now and again!
