Let’s face it – running a business is an around the clock job. No longer are you just working for someone else, doing your job and then going home at the end of your shift.
You’re now the one who has to answer for everything, and that means you really need to pay attention to the details! And to do that, you’re going to need bags of time on your side.
So, are you able to dedicate at least 30 hours a week to getting it up and running? If not, you’re going to need some tips like these on your side.
Establish Interest with a Side Hustle
You don’t want to waste your time building a business no one wants to buy from. That’s why dedicating a couple hours a day to a side hustle is a good idea. You’ve got independent business ambitions, and you want to develop a full time career revolving around your idea, but it’s crucial to test the waters first.
After all, you might not even be as interested in your business as you might think! A side hustle will prove this to you. You’ll be able to see the demand for your business that’s already out there, you’ll see how well you handle customers, and you’ll also be able to start testing the time commitment required.
Consider Taking Up a Franchise
If a business already has a successful floor, and you’ve got a pre-established model to thrive off of, you’ll be able to cut back on half the time that’s usually needed. Of course, there are Key factors to consider before investing in a 3PL logistics franchise and the like, but this is still a way more viable option for someone with little time on their hands.
Most of what you need to get started will be handed to you, you just need to get it in motion. The franchise itself will have an idea of what they want, and it’s up to you to execute it. Ironically, take your time thinking about this; are you capable of this kind of work? At the end of the day, this could even be the start of a very lucrative career within the parent company itself!
Try Out Different Scheduling Methods
Time can be a finicky mistress. As such, you might want to try out different scheduling methods to see how much you can maximize your time and use it wisely. When it comes to the business schedule, you could be working wildly different weeks anyway!
The more you’re used to adapting yourself and your time, the better your business efforts are going to go. You might be needed in the early morning some days, you might be finished just after lunch on others, and you could be working well into the small hours. Until you sort out the genuine schedule, use this time for some proper framework testing.
So, many people don’t have time to start a business – or do they?
