Wouldn’t it be nice to have a plan and know exactly what will happen this year? We all wish for a crystal ball sometimes, but the fact remains that we have no control over certain aspects of life. Focus on what you can impact and change to make your life simpler as a business owner.
Any business requires some sort of system or method of getting tasks done. Planning ahead and predicting is important, even if it is only a few days or hours in advance. The first place I would tell you to start with is your finances. You may not always be in control, but you are able to manage what you have and open the door for new opportunities.
It's easy to get caught up with all you need to do as a business owner, and find yourself muddling through because you lost sight of your goal. The most common reason is being bogged down with doing all the necessary and time consuming aspects of a business.
Why did you choose to become a business owner? Are you getting to do those things or are you to busy doing everything else? Is it really worth the time you are dedicating to it or could your time be better spent somewhere else? Make a list of all the things you really dislike about your job. One of the most common dislike is keeping the books for the business up to date and accurate.
It’s true, you can use Excel or calculated by hand and keep good records for your business. Wouldn’t it be nice to have everything in one place, have automatic updates, and a place to store all your important information? Data entry is time consuming and not always accurate. If you could spend less time and get more, you would.
Accounting systems of the future, no longer rely on heavy data entry that takes hours and multiple employees to complete. They are reasonably priced and easily accessed anytime and anywhere you have internet. All with bank level encryption, so you don’t have to worry about security.
