Looking to get your life back? Here are 3 ways.

How’s your workload these days? If you increasingly find yourself in the weeds of your business, you’re not alone. It’s not healthy for you, or your business long term. It’s a recipe for burnout.   

Now is the ideal time to plan how to re-equip your company so that it can start running without you. Pull yourself out of the ‘doing’ and you’ll build a valuable company for the long term. How? 

  • Sell less stuff to more people. Many companies are too dependent on their owner because they offer too many products and services. Create your niche. What makes you unique? Then focus on finding more customers. 
  • Systemise. Create systems to work smarter not harder. Systems that are self-sustaining can be the biggest asset of a company as they increase production while decreasing labour intensity. Whatever the size of your business it ensures consistency and quality, only the exceptions need escalating. 
  • Outsource. Consider outsourcing what you’re not good at. Why spend your time doing the things you dislike? Focus on the parts of your business you love and outsource the things that don’t energise you. It will be more cost effective, free up your time to focus on what you are good at and reduce potential overwhelm.
