Are you running a business or a busy-mess? Online business management tip
Attention all online and small business owners who seem to be getting no-where.Today I want to talk about a problem that a lot of entrepreneurs I feel suffer from... managing and organization. I don't know about everyone, but I'm guessing many of us feel like our business(es) is in a complete mess and we struggle to see it simply get things done and grow it as we had planned....or at least I do sometimes.
Getting organized in your business is important for your productivity. And you know how important productibity is in business. I'm sure you know this one too, "time is money". Ever since I started online, I have been concious of my time...in particular, I constantly think "What would be the best thing to do for my business today..."Even though I have been marketing online for over 18 months now, I'm far from the perfect business guru...well as far as organization is concerned I'm not.
For me, time management is callenging. I am not working full-time in the internet marketing game yet, but I still spend a heck of a lot of time on it. Somedays I feel like I spent my time wisely and got some decent work done, and other days I feel like I got nothing done.
Another thing that I'm constantly trying to improve is managing my downloads. I download at least one ebook or article pack or whatever a day (after 18 months it really adds up), and make a new folder or sub folder for it. I've re-calibrated my downloading and saving system and it's much better but I'm still not entirely satisfied. It still takes me a while to track things down.
Luckily for me, I have a reasonably good memory which really helps and I belive it's an attribute necessary for success. I would still love to improve my memory....
"It's not remembering things that is the problem, it's recalling them at the right time...."
There are a few more areas of my business' management side that I'd like to improve. For example: spend less time reading email, reducing spam, sticking to one idea, offering good vaklue and content to my suncribers, updating my blog(s) daily :) and a handful of others.
In conclusion, if we want to see our business expand, an important part not to overlook is our business managent and productivity.
Building a business is like building a house. You must have a plan and follow it until you finish. Then you can sell it or keep it and build another better one.
Keep focus of the end result and don't stop until you get there.
