Are we witnessing a virtual revolution? As social technology proliferates at lightning speed so must business models. However, small companies tend to adapt faster than larger firms.
Break Away From The Pack
Lawrence Perry writes: Even if success in business requires hard work, life was not meant to be spent in the office and you know it. Sometimes even when it was not how you intended your life to be, you just find yourself spending more time at work than at home. Maybe when you started your business your goal was to get it off the ground and then spend equal amounts of time at home and in the office. Maybe you even fancied actually spending more time on the things that you love than at work. If it seemed possible in your mind then, you should know that it really is perfectly possible now that you have already established your business.
How is it possible to spend less time in the office when you are up to your neck in paper work and other tasks? It’s simple, hire a virtual assistant to get some of the load of your shoulders.
YOU Are Your Client: Prioritizing Your Business’ Needs
I have clients. Clients have needs. I meet clients’ needs. That’s how it works in my world.
Yet it’s often a different story when I need to tackle projects for my business; “the cobbler’s children have no shoes,” I often joke. The problem is typically two-fold: (1) I’m so busy taking care of paying clients, I’m challenged to carve time for my own endeavors, and (2) it’s hard for me to get my head in the game when the effort is my own.
Is Your Office a Necessary Cost?
I was looking online this morning and I found a statistics website that lists out the average cost of office spaces in California and Oregon. On average, businesses are paying anywhere between $1.57 – $2.09 per sq. foot, per month, so a business operates in a 1,900 sq. foot office (like my own) you would be paying on average anywhere from $2,983 – $3,971 per month on office rent, and that is for a relatively small office. Wow! That is a lot of money to spend each month, not to mention the utility bill, insurance costs, and other operational costs that come with running an office.
One alternative to running a physical office, is to open up a Virtual Office, an online service that gives businesses an “office” with all of the necessary equipment and services when they need it without the hassles of actually running an office full time. With a virtual office, you can work from home or on the road, and then use the office space for client or business meetings.
