Most entrepreneurs start their businesses to gain some sort of freedom. Perhaps that’s the freedom to choose your own schedule, be your own boss, and so on. In any case, you don’t want to lose your valuable time to tedious administrative tasks.
Unfortunately, that tends to come with the territory. Instead of spending your energy on growing your business, you’re bogged down with emails, files, and so on.
It’s what we call working “in” your business rather than “on” it. To achieve true freedom as an entrepreneur, you must avoid that trap. Find ways to streamline your processes and, whenever possible, get them done for you!
The Importance of a Good Process
We tend to throw around the word “process” in entrepreneurial circles, referring to everything from operations to sales. But it’s actually quite simple: a process is a reliable and sustainable way of getting something done. It’s something that anyone in your business can easily implement and repeat.
Processes are vital to your freedom. If you’re constantly trying to get tasks done without a clear process, you’ll be wasting valuable time and energy. It’s reinventing the wheel — having to overcome different hurdles each time to achieve the same thing.
