Business Automation
Making Systems to Grow your Business Efficiently
There's an important rule to remember if you want to grow your business into a successful one - do something once, then teach someone else to do it (or get a computer to handle it) for next time. This is the foundation of business automation.
Ideally, after you complete a job, you should write down exactly how you did it. Then, next time you need it done, you can ask one of your staff to do it. Even if you don't have any staff (yet), it's a good idea to write down how you do your jobs. Then, when your business starts to grow, and you hire your first staff members, you can give them an exact description of the jobs they're required to do, and how to do them.
There will be many once-off jobs related to setting-up your business. There will also be many routine jobs, that you have to do each day, week, or month. For this reason, it's also a good idea to keep either a weekly or monthly record / schedule of all the routine jobs you complete, to make it easier to remember what needs to be done, and when, each week / month in future.
The next thing to do is to mark all the jobs on your schedule that you don't like doing. That way, you'll be able to identify all the jobs you should try to delegate ASAP, so you end up only spending time doing the things you love! The goal of business automation is essentially to set systems in place, so even if you're not working, your business is able to continue running smoothly by itself.
The Key to Business Automation: Develop Computer Systems
Before hiring staff to delegate jobs to, it's important to make sure that you're using the power of computers to their full capability. Many routine jobs can quite easily be automated, by creating / implementing simple programs on your computer. For example, if you have to send out emails to all of your clients, you could do them one-by-one yourself (which could take an hour or so), or you could get your computer to do it all with the click of a button, in only a second. So, as your company starts growing, and your jobs start building up, it's always important to first consider whether you can create an automated system to handle them, before you decide to hire someone to take care of them. Besides, most of those jobs would be boring for a person to do anyway! Much easier to let your computer handle as much of the workload as possible.

As your business grows, even after automating as many systems as you can, you'll find the time comes when you seem to be very busy, but still not busy enough to hire a part / full-time staff member yet. This is why the routine schedule mentioned above comes in handy. You'll find that gradually, your schedule fills up with a lot of little jobs, that by themselves, aren't enough to hire someone for, but collectively, they end up taking a decent amount of time. This is the time when you have to hire a Personal Assistant.
