Supermaker: Crafting Business on Your Own Terms

Product Information

As a leader of a company so deeply intertwined with the finances of so many businesses across the country, and as the husband of a small business owner, I am personally focused on solutions,” Ferrand wrote. “We are hearing the challenges you’re all facing firsthand, and taking action to help.” I've seen posts such as ‘tips for how to be productive at home during COVID-19’ and influencers almost preaching at people to use this time to be productive,” Beecroft offers. This message is something Chandra Johnson, a digital producer, and many others grapple with daily. “There’s a lot of pressure right now to make the most of this time. It’s exhausting trying to keep up.” As Beecroft says, we don't have to be productive to take care of ourselves. Often, not being productive is taking care of ourselves. “Sometimes doing nothing, lounging on the couch and relaxing are great forms of self-care,” she continues, noting that taking a break from everything is often exactly what your body needs, particularly when dealing with anxiety.

The freedom and autonomy that comes with being your own boss is a captivating prospect for many people, but it’s also sadly true that those who spend most of their time working at home are more likely to struggle with their mental health than the wider population. As well as grappling with loneliness and isolation, freelancers are more likely to experience depression and suicidal thoughts, while the stress that comes with navigating unpredictable workloads (and clients who don’t realize how their behaviors might contribute to or exacerbate these challenges) is also taking its toll. At this moment, we are all in uncharted territory—and this also includes companies. “Leadership doesn't know how to effectively measure employee performance from a distance,” says Musselman. “I have clients complaining that half their day is spent doing their work, and the other half is documenting and reporting how much work they've completed.” With many companies losing money by the minute due to the economic impacts of COVID-19, the pressure for workers to prove their worth is intensifying and will likely grow the longer this situation continues. The best soup makers blend and cook tasty soup at the perfect temperature (around 75°C), without keeping you waiting too long. Whether you're keen to try out new recipes or to whizz up old favourites, we've tested popular soup makers from Morphy Richards, Ninja, Tefal, Tower and more.

Now it’s not a weird thing to say how much you are getting paid for something.”
