Setting Up SOHO Operations - Part 1
|
This part is simple because it plainly states how you are going to operate and what systems are you going to use to enhance your operations. This includes the best hours to operate your SOHO. Since the majority of SOHOs are small home based businesses, more discipline is needed to separate home from business. If you had a storefront and you posted a sign that it would open at 9:00am, you would be there at 9:00am. With most SOHOs, you can roll out of bed, go into the next room and start doing work but you still need the discipline to ignite yourself daily to get your responsibilities and tasks accomplished. So operational goals should consist of what you will do daily to make your business a success. It includes setting time frames for business maintenance, accounting and administrative paperwork, and important people that you should keep contact with (contracting officials, new and old customers, marketing channels). All this is a part of daily operations that will help make your business a success. The operational goals can be listed on a sheet of paper when you start your SOHO and as you get into the swing of things, you can start doing those things automatically. Youll find that your business will start humming and rolling at a smooth pace. A major problem that most SOHOs have is managing time. Your operations action plan should have certain time frames established so that there is a balance in completing tasks. For some owners, its hard not to work seven days a week because of the urge to get things done. Theory shows that if you cant get things done in eight hours, it will be certainly hard to get things done in twelve hours. Establishing an operations plan will assist you in planning daily activities within your SOHO so that your time is balanced and effective. .
