Systemise your business spend more time at home doing the real business

In the last article we looked at some tips for fathers in business.

One of the tips was about systemising your business so that you as a business owner can get away and spend more time with your family without the business relying on you at all times. As a Father this is a natural desire. Systemising your business is often seen as a panacea and easy fix. Then reality is though that there are a series of stages that a small business goes through to actually reach this level.

This includes fixing and working on various parts of your business before investing in creating business systems

The problem with most small businesses is that they cannot afford to hire salaried business development experts. Small businesses realise that to get some expertise on board means that they could then grow their businesses effectively which means that they could then afford the expertise to grow their businesses… yes it’s a classic catch 22 situation.

Systemising your small business

The secret is to outsource this type of work to people who can show you the templates and then coach you through the process. Outsourcing someone to assist you implement processes and systems means that in effect you are adding three ‘departments’ onto your business.

1. Your marketing department – Making sure that every obstacle that stands in the way of getting your services / products sold are overcome

2. Your operations department – The sole purpose of this department is to investigate and implement ways of doing your work quicker, cheaper and better.

3. Keeping score department – What you cant measure you cant manage – keeping track of everything from finances, compliances, strategic planning implementation, systems implementation, staff etc etc.

On top of this you have someone holding you to account for accomplishing milestones moving your business towards one that is more profitable and less hands on for you the business owner.

Fathers, we owe it to our families and children to spend as much quality time as possible. If you are not in the luxurious position of working from 9 to 5 and then being able to walk away from work every day then you owe it to yourself and family to put in small business systems and processes so you can start doing this.

Can Palmerston North Business Coaching help me franchise my business?

The reasons for this are many, set your own hours, control your destiny, get paid what you’re really worth however it would be fair to say that these days’ fathers also see spending more time with their Children as a major factor in making this decision

Self employment, on the face of it, offers fathers flexibility and time to spend with families and children. Fathers also see self employment as a way of giving them those choices about Housing, Schooling and Lifestyle aspirations.

The reality for many business people is different to this. Long hours, being at the disposal of clients, cash flow problems and the other stresses of running businesses  often compete for time and ends up compromising families and relationships.

It takes a strong man to take on board all these issues and then be with their children 100% fully engaged at the end of a 12 hour day with 4 hours of book work once the children have gone to bed. But this is what we as fathers must do. Fully engage our children – that doesn’t mean going over board –  but more an attitude of letting your children know that when you are with them you are fully attentive. This includes engaging with them rather than trying to make phone calls or staring at your laptop, answering questions (over and over again) and doing your fair share around home to give mum a hand.

Fathers and Business

To fulfill the important job of fatherhood there are 3 things you should be doing on a continual basis in you business

1. Automate the business as much as possible – What tasks can be dome automatically without you. Outsource where possible
2. Systemising roles, jobs, marketing, and operations – as much as you can. Make the business run without you as much as possible. Its never to early (or late) to start doing this now
3. Take a day off every week. Business problems and issues will wait for you

The real Business is fatherhood. Dads your business whilst important is just a means to an end. Make it enjoyable and as stress free as possible, especially while they are young and think you are pretty cool.
