As the age old saying goes, “time is money” – so what is yours worth?

Time is something that we like to think we have well managed. But the truth is, it is quite often the last thing we really think about. You have most likely heard, or even said, sayings such as “there aren’t enough hours in the day” or “I haven’t had time to do all the things I wanted” on more than one occasion.

Why do many business owners find themselves saying these things time and time again? Because they wear too many hats, for far too long. The role of the business owner should be to focus on tasks that help grow the business and be profitable – instead of tasks that can be outsourced or completed by a skilled employee.

Many business owners find it hard to delegate, or hire a skilled employee, in the beginning. But if you put this off for too long and continue to do it all yourself, you’ll burn out and the business will suffer rather than grow. So where do you start and what can you actually do about it?

First and most important step is to ask yourself the following questions and answer them honestly:
1) How much am I worth to my company?
2) How is the value of my time best determined?
3) How is the value of my time best invested?

Second important step is to work out where your time and strengths are best used.
“Work to your strengths” is a great saying, and outsourcing jobs which are in your “weaknesses” category is a great investment. For example, if numbers are not your thing, outsource your bookkeeping to a bookkeeping professional. They use their skills daily, so they will instantly be quicker and more efficient.

Third step: Delegate.

Focus on what makes you happy and what helps the business. Learn to delegate the tasks which you find do not utilise your strengths, or you just don’t enjoy. Delegating will allow you to concentrate on what makes you happy which will have a positive impact on the business long term and will help it to grow.
Now that you know what you need to do – come and chat to us about outsourcing your routine accounting and freeing up your precious time. Contact us on
