One of the biggest problems solopreneurs face is how to get it all done. There’s so much to do, and only you to do it. Even if you use outsourced help, there is still an infinite amount of things you could do to grow your business and you can only do some of them.
Part of managing your workload is making sure you are working on the right things and not wasting time on activities that don’t produce results. For the activities that do add value or simply need to be done, I suggest automating as much as possible. Automation has several advantages over doing it yourself or having someone do it for you, and some of those advantages are:
- Automation can run with little or no management. Once you set up an automated process, it can often run with no intervention by you indefinitely.
- Automation is cheaper. Many of the tools I use are free or very inexpensive.
- Automated process are generally error free. Even the best and most conscientious human will make mistakes, but computers don’t. A well-designed process can save you mistakes later.
I believe that automation is important enough to solopreneurs that I’ve written an entire book on the subject. I’d like to offer you a free sample, so you can see how automation can help your business be more streamlined.
