efficiently

Hey Guys,
Today I want to talk about efficiently, and how you always want to be looking for ways to improve your business.  While I was out today shopping I walked into a local co-op and was completely amazed at how inefficiently they were running the business.  This is how they ran the business, you walked through the store and figure out what you wanted to purchase, now that you have your purchases in mind you go to the counter and purchase the items.  Here comes the kicker, they use a walkie-talkie to tell the employees what you would like and they put it into a carriage for you.  I could not believe they ran the business like that, can you imagine how much money they are losing on employees doing tasks over again.      

            You as a business owner need to constantly be looking for ways to make your business run more efficiently.  Look at the ways your employees do their daily tasks and see if you can improve the way it’s done anyway, even look at yourself see if you can improve what u do.  There is nothing known as "free", your time is worth money and the more time you waste doing a task you are losing money.  So guys you always be aware of ways you can improve your business.

            Every time I’m out I find myself looking at the way people are doing their jobs and thinking about ways it could be done easier and more efficiently.  Look at subway; they have pre-sliced meat and cheese whereas mom and dad shops will cut the meat for you as they are making the sandwich.  You will be amazed at how much people waste their time when it could be done more efficient. 

 

Thank you for readying our posts,
