Have you ever wondered how great leaders are able to solve complex problems effortlessly?
The answer is that they hone these skills every single day.
Here are three steps you can use every day to positively impact your personal and professional growth.
Have you ever found yourself wondering where people are saving your documents?
Have you ever searched and searched … looking for that missing document that you know should be in that file, but you can’t find it to save your life?
Trust me, I get it. It is SO Frustrating, but there is a solution.
Do you ever feel like your numbers are an equation that you have no idea how to approach? If so, you’re not alone – a lot of small business owners feel the same way. While there are a lot of factors that go into managing your small business finances, a strong financial dashboard can help you maximize your success.
Here’s why: unless you’re just a “numbers person” and inherently see the story behind your numbers, a lot of them aren’t likely to make a lot of sense. (Believe me, a lot of business owners fall into this category!)
A financial dashboard can help you by putting all of the data into a comprehensive visual presentation that will equip you to easily spot trends, issues, and upswings, allowing you to more easily make strategic decisions.
Those who know me will all tell you one thing: I am passionate about systems. I know not everyone shares my interest, but strong systems are the backbone of any successful organization. They help you communicate with your team, equip your team for productivity, and (in the long run) save you money. They’re not always easy to write, though – I’d like to share some mistakes to avoid when you’re writing your policies and procedures.
Did you know checklists (as we know them) have only been around for the past 90 years or so? It’s true. The first recorded use of a checklist was in 1935 by Boeing, shortly after a prototype aircraft crashed. They realized that using a concise list of items they could “check off” – quite literally a “check list” – would not only save them money, but could save lives. Who knew a checklist could be so powerful?
Hiring. This is the word that can strike both excitement and dread into the heart of any small business owner. On one hand, it’s exciting because it means you’re growing (and that you’ll soon be able to get tasks off your plate). On the other hand, there’s the thought of sludging through resumes, vetting candidates, scheduling interviews, and hoping you can find and train the right person…all with the fear of doing it again in 3 or 4 months if they leave.
Hiring is not for the faint of heart!
