Chapter 12: Tapping Technology > Improving Your Business’s Efficiency

Improving Your Business’s Efficiency

Technology costs money to buy and implement. So the simple promise of making your business more efficient isn’t enough of a reason to spend your hard-earned cash on technology. For you to buy a particular technology resource, the improvement offered by that resource must more than pay for the cost of buying it.

In this section, we discuss where we see you getting the best bang for your buck in terms of improving your business’s efficiency through technology.

Managing your time

In the early stages of your business, only one person can make or break your business. That one person is you, which means that every minute of your time is valuable. Because time is finite, if you waste an hour, that hour, along with whatever you could’ve accomplished during the course of it, is gone forever. Thus, the management of time — especially the time that belongs solely to you — is potentially the most valuable service that technology can provide.
