The Economy Is Showing That Work Is Becoming Flexible, Work-On-Demand and Remote

The last few months have seen a fascinating shift in the world economy. How we view work and the build-up of companies and people in organizations has changed because of the nature of the pandemic.

With more need for social distancing came the need for remote work. With an increased demand for skilled professionals came an influx of new job tasks on freelancing platforms. With an improved virtual labor force came workers creating start-ups to manage the “gig economy.”

I’ve always been an advocate of using your skills online and promoting your brand to build your own business. An online empire is built over time with consistent efforts of managing your skill sets but also treating it like any other business.

Try to move away from seeing yourself as just a freelancer, but an online business owner. Have a realization that the gig economy is actually a fast-paced movement to what may very well become the economy.

Flexible Scheduling And Staff

Once you start to grow your business, it will be a great move to become a flexible environment. Trust your knowledge of the business enough to set schedules for various workers to do tasks. Know enough of your monthly goals and their skills and capabilities to ensure project timelines and weekly goals are there for them to follow.

I’ve found that using tools such as Click-Up and Trello are great for organizing team members and their schedules and tasks.

Find a suitable Project Manager, and build out a team compliment that will be able to accomplish the mission and roles you set for the company. However, be willing enough to adapt and pivot when changes are required.
