Get your life back.

As I was thinking today about goals and objectives that I have set for myself, I realize that having a stable 9-5 is not even on my top 20 list. I understand that business ownership is not meant for everyone, but I could not handle giving the next 50 years of my time to a company (unless it is one amazing company), but I doubt I will find one that measures up. 


How to be a business owner and live without having work 24/7. 


Utilize technology. Technology is going to be your best friend, and it will make life a thousand time easier. Whether you are recording sales or analyzing your customer demographics, technology will make it much less time consuming. Check out accounting software, analytics programs, and social media managers to help save you time. 


Become system oriented. Why would you waste time completing tasks that are not going to make a difference in your bottom line. Systems make business more efficient while highlighting areas that are unnecessary. Take a poll of your employees and see what they have to say. They are the ones doing all the work. 


Outsource. No, this does not mean sending American jobs overseas. Lets get that clear. If you can pay someone to complete 3 hours of errands while you finished your contract to work with another company, why not? Time is an invaluable resource, never forget the cost of time. 


Set rules. People need to know exactly what is going to be expected of them. If they are not given clear directions, this will soon cause miscommunication and failure. You should train people to be independent and responsible for all of their actions. This will give them a vested interest in making the company succeed as well.
