The key person in your business who is genuinely motivated to grow your business is you. When
you spend time working on tasks that could be delegated, it is time that you are not planning and
building the best business possible.
Working on the strategy and growth of your business means thinking about how best to use
business management software and teams to manage the day to day operations. This takes
discipline and focus. It is often easier to just do it yourself rather than delegate. When you delegate
you need to have the best software, process and team in place to deliver. Once this has been
established you are able to focus more on growth and less on doing.
Changing your focus from doing to delegating will deliver a better outcome and allow for growth. It
will take time and dedication. It will require change to be implemented across your business . It will
require you, as the leader to stop and remove yourself from some of the day to day activities. It is a
balancing act and one that needs careful planning. You can’t just stop doing work for your clients
and see how it gets picked up by others. It takes careful consideration and a well thought out plan.
It is about changing your focus to work on your business rather than in it.
It can be achieved by concentrating on two key areas:
Business management software - getting the correct software in place that allow you to oversee
your business will lead to better management control. You can maintain visibility and control via a
few key systems. You won’t need to go too deep to find the key metrics needed to manage the
business . They are generally dashboard driven gathering data from multiple systems across your
businessThey may be finance , operations or marketing driven. Depending on your industry and
your daily requirements. They summarise information and provide key metrics allowing you to
manage your business . Getting them onboard and implemented will help change the way you
work in your business and allow for you to focus on growth.
Teams - your team plays a vital role in helping you grow . Having confidence to delegate to your
team means you can focus on other key areas. Maintaining control over workflow and outcomes
becomes easier when you have business management software that monitors your key metrics.
Helping your team utilise the software more effectively will lead to better results. The combination
of an effective team and powerful software means managing the business becomes easier. Once
this is established you are able to get on with driving growth.
Delegation is key.
Focusing on growth is vital. Implementing business management software that
manages your business is paramount to better control. Creating effective teams lead to better
outcomes for clients. Together this allows you to work on your business and drive greater growth.
