I sometimes refer to my job as a “professional organizer.” I’ve been doing this for decades now, and I’ve seen firsthand the difference between businesses that are well organized and those that aren’t. Today, I’d like to share with you ten benefits of a well-organized business:
1) Time to pursue new opportunities. Being well-organized means you don’t waste time searching for documents or other information. It means you’re typically “ahead of the eight ball” when it comes to your to-do list. This gives you the ability to pursue new opportunities that present themselves.
2) The ability to invest into your employees. Because you’re not spending the day fighting to keep your head above water, you can spend time training and mentoring your employees.
3) Less stress. There are few worse feelings than being unable to locate important documents. Staying organized means you won’t have to panic.
4) No more wasted time searching for documents. You’ve got better things to do than dig through messy file cabinets… don’t you?
5) Accurate, timely billing. Good organization allows you to stay on top of billing and collections—and helps you avoid costly mistakes.
6) An easier tax season. If you don’t keep your affairs in order year-round, tax filing season can become a nightmare.
7) Better customer service. Superior organization means that you can respond more quickly and accurately to customer requests.
8) Happier employees. Better organization means more structure and more clarity—both of which are important to your employees. Your employees are at their best when their roles are clearly defined and well organized.
9) Time to look at the big picture. Maintaining order in your business gives you the ability to spend time planning and strategizing- because you’re not struggling 24/7 just to stay on top of the details.
10) Less waste and higher profits! Organization cuts down on wasted time and wasted resources. At the end of the day, that means more money in your pocket!
