Spring is here, but I think most of us may have missed it…

Spring

This picture is especially beautiful to me because it represents all that we look for in the Spring Season.  From flowering plants and budding trees, to more sunshine and warmth.

Then we’re brought back to reality and the state of our nation.  It’s a stressful time for a lot of people and small businesses are trying to find ways to connect with their customers in unique ways, given the current public health situation.

This is a great time to find creative ways to stay connected and still provide necessary services.  It also provides us with a chance to connect more with nature and exercise.  For most, the “rat race” was the norm.  Now, every person has to reevaluate how they choose to see things with “social distancing”.

For small businesses, this is a great time to find ways to maximize your business operations.  This “vacation” away from work (as most of us know it), can help open the creative box to explore possibilities.  Hiring a VA can help you focus on your customers to get through this challenging time.

Four Tips for Streamlining your business in 2020

2020

  • Managing your email –  This is the first and foremost way to get organized.  Creating folders is huge and carving out a time each day to manage emails is important.  Have you ever reached inbox zero?  (Pro tip: The white space is blinding and glorious.)  Once email is organized, it’s so easy to mange new mail that comes into it.  I recommend hiring a VA to organize your inbox.

 

  • Smooth communication with your team-  I like to combine this one with sharing files quickly because they work seamlessly together.  Communication (and file sharing) is key when it comes to doing business with your team and starts with a method.  What’s your mode of communication like- via email, cloud notes, or google drive?  Organized communication is a great way to keep tasks on schedule and contained.

 

  • Effective accounting system – At the root of any small business, is an effective accounting system that is vital to the success and future of the business.
