Businesses are constantly looking for new ways to accomplish their objectives while cutting costs, why is this? As the age old saying goes, time is money. In life everything you do is an investment, some just come at a far bigger cost than others. Whether you’re investing 40 minutes of your time into watching your favorite tv show on a Tuesday night or making an investment in a new employee or team; time is money, money is time.
A Successful Business is a Well-Oiled Machine
Often the reason vital company components are skipped out on is the cost. Pro-tip: A successful company is like a well-oiled machine, if you invest in right parts that machine will continue to generate profit for your business. But the cost – I get it. So, what if I told you there was a simple way of getting the most out of your time and money that didn’t involve black magic? It’s all about balance. Firstly, draw a clear line between working on and in the business, and establish were your talents are best servicing your company. This important distinction often becomes a grey area it need not be.
Every Successful Business Needs a Driver
As a business owner, every time you find yourself posed with a task, ask yourself, is this a valuable use of my time or could someone else be completing this job while I tend to more important fractions of my company? Every well-oiled machine needs a driver. Without a skilled leader at the helm a business will surely fail. Even the most capable leader we’ll find great difficulty in reaching objectives if they stretch themselves too thin. By stretching yourself too thin you risk steering of course and loosing direction. Are you willing to pay the costly price for time wasted finding your bearings again? And just like that we’ve come full circle, to waste time is to waste money, that’s the bottom line.
