Hands up if you’re a business owner and you think there’s a lot to do in your business and not enough hours in the day? Yep, I’m hearing you, me too!
In this blog, you’ll learn about business optimisation and determine the right time to take action and get help when it comes to streamlining your business so it’s productive, efficient and profitable – and so it works for you.
What is business optimisation?
In a word, it’s streamlining; a tactic used to optimise business processes to go from being busy and overwhelmed to organised and on top of your business. It is the path of least resistance and in business is often about automation, systems and delegating.
Optimisation helps you perform tasks in a more efficient way; from client work, to invoicing to taking payments for your work. And you don’t have to do it yourself, you can engage a Virtual Assistant (VA) or an Online Business Manager (OBM) to help you on a one-off or regular basis.
Why you must start streamlining your business tasks
It can be very difficult to work on your big vision when you’re too busy doing the day-to-day work of your business.
If you’re ready to let go of the mundane work, business optimisation by either automating or delegating them will help you now and in the future growth of your business too.
3 steps to streamline your business
There are three steps to building and maintaining an efficient, productive and profitable business.
- Planning: A formal, approved document used to guide both project execution and project control.
- Implementing: Follow your plan when implementing the tasks so every task is done on time and in a sequence that is the most effective and efficient.
- Improving: Test the workflows to make sure they are working properly and refine the process (and documentation) if they are not.
When is it the right time to get help from a Virtual Assistant or Online Business Manager?
Once you understand how important streamlining your business is to make it more efficient and profitable – but also to give you back your precious time – you’ll need some help in doing that (because it can be a big job).
You know you need help when:
- You can’t manage your business by yourself anymore.
- You’re not familiar with tech and automation.
- You have multiple projects in your business.
- You’re feeling out of control (and nothing is really getting done, just the bare minimum).
- You’re ready to step out of your comfort zone and break through to the next level of business.
- You’re tired and overwhelmed.
- You don’t have time to do your tasks and manage a team.
