What is app advisory and why you need an eco-system of apps to run your business
One of the biggest enemies that you have when you run your own business is time. You will be pulled in different directions – looking after staff, dealing with clients and running and trying to grow your business. In this situation it is natural that one or more parts of your business and life will suffer.
You either take time out of your work to attend to business admin or you neglect the business admin and spend time so much time working for your clients that you do not do it or do it at the last minute. Worse than either of those is that you neglect your family and spend time at the evening or weekends doing the admin for your business.
If you find yourself working on weekends for your business or taking days out in the middle of your working week to do admin for your business, your business or your personal life is suffering you just might not be aware of it yet.
App ecosystem
It is essential that you have a structure to remove the unnecessary work in your business and give you back the time to spend on your business and time to spend with family and friends. You can do that by using an eco-system of software apps designed to make the admin of your business easier.
At a very simple level that can be using software like Xero or Quickbooks to keep your records and then a software like Receipt Bank to automate keeping track of your expenses. If you want to get more detailed it may involve using software like Arthur Online if you are a property landlord to manage the properties that you own or A2X if you are an Amazon seller and you need to track your sales and stock.
These software’s will remove the admin from running your business and give you back time to spend on your business and with your family.
We help and advise you selecting the right systems and software to automate the admin part of your business. We train and support you in using them and help you set them up correctly. Soon you will be doing your paperwork for your business without realising it and your accounts and business will be running itself.
Running your own business is difficult, you should not burden yourself with too much, you need to relieve the pressure on yourself and make the admin part of your business as easy as possible. Do that and you are setting in place strong foundations to enable the success of your business without it impacting your personal life.
