Repetitious tasks Harry Molyneux, CEO at BuildUp, added: When you think that a piece of software could possibly do what you’re doing. If a task you’re doing is taking over your day to day duties (unless these are your sole duties) and it feels like you’re repeating it day in, day out, then you’re clearly spending too much time doing that task. that’s why Im setting up a free professional network for the construction industry it’s solving a business admin issue that felt like it was just taking up too much time. If the software is already out there, great if not, have a serious think about how you could maybe try to create it, as chances are there might be other people out there thinking it too.
Not having time to improve Rob Liddiard, Co-founder and CEO of messaging app Yapster, told us: Any time you run out of time to do something you believe will improve customer or employee experience because of your administrative obligations that’s a clear sign that you’re spreading yourself too thinly. Whenever I find myself in this position I now ask myself what can I delegate or outsource
Doing any admin at all Marianne Page, founder the McFreedom method and author of Simple Logical, Repeatable, draws a firm line. She explained: As a business owner, my role in the business is to ensure its continued growth and development, it is not to do admin. as such, I would say that any time that I find myself doing admin is too long. That’s why I have a book keeper, an accountant, and a PA/administrative assistant to allow me to focus on growing the business, while they focus on managing the necessary admin.
