Are You Working IN Your Business or ON Your Business?

One of the biggest reasons that ‘business systemization’ is so incredibly important, is that it allows you to step out of your business for a while and to focus on ways to make it better. Often we are too concerned with working in our businesses to the extent that we stop working on them and when we allow this to happen it can often represent the start of a vicious circle and a road to nowhere.
But what’s the difference you ask? And how does biz systemization help? Read on and find out!

What’s the Difference?
If you’re someone who is only working in your business, then you’ll likely be arriving at work with a long to-do list, working through that and then leaving the office once it’s completed. Get to work tomorrow and you’ll have a new huge list of things you need to be doing. It’s relentless and it feels like you are always only just managing with your workload rather than having time to move around more freely and to come up with new directions and new ideas.

If you are working on your business though, then that means you’ll be spending time in R&D, it means you’ll be looking at potential future markets to move into and you’ll be forecasting your profits over the coming months and years. In other words, working on your business means that you’ll be finding ways to expand, grow and develop  rather than just looking at ways to continue with the status quo.

How to Get to That Point
As you might have imagined, the general idea is to reach the point where you work more on your business than in it. In other words, you should be working to either increase the profit you’re bringing in or to decrease the amount of time you’re spending working. Either way, you’ll be improving your position and that’s ultimately the point of a business.

Biz systemization helps you to get to that point by automating parts of your business and handing it over to your staff so that you can concentrate on other things. This way, you won’t be constantly putting out fires because you’ll have systems in place to do that for you and you’ll have staff who can handle almost every challenge for you.

Biz systemization makes your business more efficient and that means your business can grow or you can step back. Either way, it’s the first step in a more fulfilling business and life balance.
