Business Operations: 4 Steps for De-Stressing Your Business Right Now

What Could You Do with an Extra 5 Hours?

Business Operations

Documented business operations are vital for your business to function. If you don't have documented processes, then your business operations might as well not exist. If you are the only one that knows what to do and when in your business, that's a huge problem.

Think about your Business Operations from an outsider's point of view.

Would it be easy for someone to step in and tackle tasks and systems easily?

On the flip side, what would you do if you can gain an hour a day starting tomorrow? Imagine gaining five hours per week.

For instance, are you able to take a Friday off without worrying about what's getting done? Or would you feel stressed out?

You can do that when you put these four steps in place to de-stress your business in confidence right now.

 

Business Operations: 4 Steps for De-Stressing Your Business Right Now

1. Proper Project Management

If you’re still managing your team with email and Skype messages, stop it. Things get lost, messages are forgotten (or never received) and balls are dropped. Not to mention all the time you spend sifting through your endless list of emails for that one piece of information you need.

Sign up for Asana, Trello, or Slack today, and start putting all your projects there instead. You’ll have one place to look for tasks that are still outstanding, and be able to tell at a glance what needs your immediate attention.

You and your team will love it!

#2 Proper Documentation

Do you find yourself reinventing the wheel every time you have to record a podcast or upload a video to your blog?

Take a few minutes and document the steps, then next time you have to do it, or better yet, when you hand it off to a VA, you’ll be able to quickly work out what needs to happen.

There will be fewer mistakes, and the work will get done faster. Your team will love it!

#3 Create a Business Organization Chart

If you have multiple people on your team, this is critical.

Rather than everyone coming to you for questions—or worse, asking the wrong person and getting the wrong answer—take the time to create an organization chart. Add it to your operations manual and make sure your team knows where it is and what it’s for.

Now, rather than your Skype chat blowing up with questions all day long, you’ll have time for the more important tasks.

#4 Use Time Blocking

Get out your calendar and start making appointments with yourself. Decide when you’ll check email and when you’ll work on client projects, then stick to the schedule.

These self-imposed deadlines will not only force you to get the work done, but they’ll help keep you focused. This structuring of your time means no more wasting time on Facebook, since you’ll be working on your business.

All of these systems can be set up in an afternoon—at least initially. But the time they save you when you use them consistently is phenomenal. An hour a day is just the beginning, but you have to take action.

You have to put in the work first before you can earn the rewards, but the benefits are sweet. In the end, you’ll wonder how you ever managed before you did these four things to improve your business.

Just a couple of weeks ago, one of my favorite online business guys posted on Facebook about the terrible relationship he had with his dad. I felt his pain across the ocean and through time. He said he was fine without having a relationship with his dad, but he also longed for the pride of a father in his son. Of course, I thought about my dad and how blessed
