Are you running your business or is your business running you? Many small business owners struggle to know which is true. Small business owners often find themselves reacting to events as they occur as opposed to proactively planning, managing and executing the necessary activities of their business on a daily basis. One of the most important tasks for a business owner is to prioritize and schedule events and use a calendar to accomplish them each day. As simple as that may sound, the difference can be quite profound. When using a calendar, you not only feel like you are getting things done, you actually, are getting things done. To optimize your day, organization is key. In other words, to optimize, organize. Make time your ally, not your enemy and you will see the difference in your results, interactions and accomplishments on a regular basis. Use tools like Calendly, MS Office Calendar or download one of the many great scheduling apps available on your mobile device.
