Isn’t it great that your business is growing?
Isn’t it great that your business is growing?
It may be time to start thinking about hiring someone to help you. There are alternatives to a full time employee that you can think about. You could employ a casual or part-time staff member, sub-contract to another business or outsource the work. You may even think about hiring a trainee, apprentice or intern. It is an excellent feeling when other people can help you earn your income and learn your way of doing business.
The best time to think about employing someone is before you really need it - because when things get really busy you may not have the time to find someone. It is the system (or the process) that will make you successful. Take the time now to think about the work that you do for your business. What don't you like doing or what don't you have the skills to do? Write it down on a piece of paper. Maybe it is some of the following:
• answering the phone
• giving quotes
• responding to emails
• preparing newsletters
• administration
• bookkeeping
• your contact management system
• word processing
As you list these tasks they will form the basis of a Job Description for either someone you employ, sub-contract or outsource to. Contact us for advice and tips on employing, sub-contracting and outsourcing.

Starting a business is an exciting time and when your sales are increasing it is an excellent feeling. All of a sudden you are feeling very busy as you are performing the many tasks that have to be done in your business. You need to perform the operations that makes your business successful, but there is also the administration, the accounts, the marketing, the purchasing, etc. When do you do all this - outside normal business hours?

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
