The sheer workload of keeping the business running is beginning to overshadow your passion, the reason WHY you started it in the first place.
As our business grows and more clients start rolling in, we can easily get overwhelmed. There is only so many hours in the day that we can spend on our business… and where is the time for fun gone?
After working long hours, your body starts feeling the lack of attention, lack of sleep and the feeling of burnout soon comes over you. The overwhelm, the frustration…
You may think that you’re not cut out for this…
Here are the 5 signs that you need business systems:
You are feeling overwhelmed and stressed
Your to do list is never ending. You have no time to enjoy family life, your children complain and start acting up, your other half is wondering how come you spend so much time on your business and don’t reap enormous financial rewards. It all just feels too much!
Your business is not progressing
It seems that it has come to a standstill as there are only so many hours in the day and no matter what you do, the time constraint stops you from expanding.
You’re inconsistent
Have you ever forgot to attend a meeting, or send that invoice? No? That’s great! How about following up prospective clients? Do you even follow up? Well, if you don’t you’re letting potential clients slip through the cracks.
You are not getting a consistent flow of clients
– that time when you just finished a project and you start thinking where is the next client going to come in from. Sounds familiar?
You are not treating your clients as you would like to
When you’re tired and overwhelmed you are unable to provide exceptional service to your clients. It comes through in your energy and it comes through in the way you respond to your clients.
If you’ve been feeling this way for a while, I invite you to go back to the drawing board and look at what systems you have in your business.
With some strong business systems in place, you can work less for the same amount of money. Plus you can scale to the point of working only few hours per week, whilst your business is still the same as it was.
"Systems are a basic foundation for every
successful business."
Without systems your business can not grow and you are setting yourself up for burnout and possibly even failure.
Business systems are often overlooked by many small business owners ‐ don’t make this expensive mistake!
With so little time for running your whole enterprise, putting off business systems seems easy. But if you get them in place right from the start, you will thank yourself later.
Schedule one hour per week to start setting up your business systems and soon you will be breathing a sigh of relief!
