Finding Balance: When Do You Work *On* Your Business?
As a small business owner, getting caught up in the daily tasks of running your business is easy. But to grow and thrive, it’s essential to dedicate time to working “on” your business, not just “in” it. At DBR Bookkeeping, Doing Business Right, we believe that creating a consistent schedule for strategic planning, growth, and financial review is the key to maintaining balance and achieving long-term success.
Many entrepreneurs find themselves so absorbed in client work, managing employees, or handling daily operations that they barely have time to focus on the bigger picture. However, this big-picture focus is crucial for sustainable growth. Setting aside dedicated time each week to work on your business allows you to assess your goals, review your finances, and plan for the future.
One of the biggest benefits of creating a consistent schedule is the balance it brings to your work life. When you have regular time to work on important business goals, you’re less likely to feel overwhelmed by daily tasks. For example, as a bookkeeper, scheduling weekly financial reviews can help you stay on top of your cash flow, monitor expenses, and make informed decisions. Knowing where your business stands financially prepares you for new opportunities and challenges.
Consistency is also a significant component of successful entrepreneurship. By carving out time to focus on your business strategy, you’re more likely to set achievable goals and measure your progress over time. This could mean spending an hour every Monday morning planning your week or dedicating a half-day each month to reviewing your business finances, adjusting your budget, and identifying areas for improvement.
So, when do you work on your business? Is it in the mornings before the day gets busy, or do you prefer evenings or weekends when you can focus without distractions?
