To Market
What Do You Do Best?
Invest most of your time every week doing what you do best and letting
others do what they do best. This might cost you some money up front, but
in the long run, a wise use of your time will help grow your business.
If you need to create a business plan or a marketing plan, you can
consider hiring a professional writer or marketing specialist to help you.
The hours you spend formulating the plan or marketing strategies,
especially if you are doing it all for the first time or you don’t have a
strong background in that area, might be better spent at things you can do
well.
Most small business owners, especially those starting a solo practice,
find that eventually hiring an assistant to handle administrative duties is
actually cost-effective. Even when they know they can do the functions
themselves, paying someone else a lesser hourly rate than they can earn on
their own makes good sense. Of course, you need to weigh all the tax
repercussions before hiring a regular full-time or part-time employee.
Check with your tax accountant on the matter for specifics.
Just as you wouldn’t attempt to do your own taxes if you don’t have a
strong knowledge of the tax laws, it may be wise to evaluate the other
areas of your business that might benefit from expert advice.
Think of marketing specialists, public relations representatives,
communications directors, or legal consultants. There are professional
business coaches to help guide you, there are financial planners to steer
you on the road to riches, and there are graphic designers to create Web
sites or polished presentations and marketing material.
Where do you meet these experts? Networking and referrals are good
sources of information and leads on reliable professionals for hire. Ask
other business owners and networking contacts about who they use for a
particular project.
Saving time can save you money.
