Change? It may be time.

“But we’ve always done it this way”. I have heard that phrase so many times when I analysis my clients’ procedures. We are all guilty and all do it in some part of our lives. We can’t help it. We are creatures of habit.

But when it comes to your business we have to be aware of that trap because we are so busy. I know it is easier to do something the way you know how than stop for a minute and really determine if it is the fastest, most efficient way. But does this help your business grow?

When is the last time you went over your processes to determine if you are being as effective as possible? Several times a company will outgrow the original process, but never make the changes because “it’s always been done this way”. In the end this costs the business big bucks. Image taking a task that usually takes 4 hours and restructuring it into 2 hours. Image taking a process and streamlining so only 2 people handle the paperwork instead of 5. The change may be a little rough, but it is temporary. The end result is worth it. You will save not only money, but time. And we all could use more time.
