Today we’re talking about an ORANGE day. Every one has to work on administration in their business. It’s a part that many people don’t enjoy and often leave it up to others.
They don’t really delegate it. They simply give it to someone else and hope that it goes away. More often than not this does not lead to a good result. If you are delegating administration to others then you’ll still need to check that it is done correctly and you should also review the results and reports produced to make sure you know what is actually going on in your business.
My suggestion is that you do this on a particular day of the week. Set aside a day, or half day when you say to yourself ‘I’m having an ORANGE day today.’ This will help you focus on a job many business owners don’t like doing. So what happens when we have no ORANGE days?
A black one is just around the corner because your business will get into a mess administratively and then something major will go wrong because you forgot to do something.
May be the phone or power gets cut off
or you get a letter from the tax department
or you get an eviction notice from your landlord because you forgot to pay the rent.
Colour is such an important part of the way we bring vibrancy to our lives. I remember back to black and white television (which shows you how old I am) and the day when I first saw colour. Everything seemed so much more real and vibrant.
