Working Smarter Not Just Harder! Staying True to Yourself!
Being an entrepreneur in today's VUCA world, where there is so much volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, can be so challenging it can feel like you're always on the go, in too much of a rush. At times you may even feel like you're climbing your very own Everest!
As you may know already, there is so much more to running your own business than purely delivering your products and services to your customers regardless of whether it's a one-off transaction or a long-term relationship. Doing everything you need to can quickly become overwhelming unless you learn how to work smarter instead of just harder. After all, there are only 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. For you to stay healthy enough to keep your business going, you need time to sleep, eat, exercise, and rest at the very least. On average, that leaves about 8 to 10 hours of working time each day, ideally 5 days a week. If you're working longer hours than this, then now might be a good time to ask yourself this ...
How can I do more with less?
For you, less might mean working fewer hours, using fewer resources, being more sustainable, operating with lower costs, etc.
Whatever less means for you, as a Humankind Entrepreneur, working smarter is critical to your business success. Not only do you need to get many things done in as short a time as possible, you also want to be sure that everyone who works for you does so in a healthy way, and all within reasonable boundaries. There are many ways to do this depending on your budget, ranging from low-cost options to high-end high-cost solutions. Where you fit on the spectrum will depend on your budget, your business operating model, the type of customer experience you want to deliver, and your personal preferences.
Working smarter is only part of the story and is, in many ways, easier to achieve and sustain than staying true to yourself. With all the pressures entrepreneurs face on a daily basis, it can be very hard to stick to your principles and preferred code of conduct. This is especially true when times are tough and you find yourself in a desperate situation! Nevertheless, as a Humankind Entrepreneur, you want to operate your business in an ethical, socially responsible, and sustainable way that is environmentally friendly and balanced.
One of the best ways to do this is to join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who help keep each other honest, sane, and well-balanced. You don’t have to be an environmental activist. Nor do you have to be a community interest company, a charity, or a social enterprise to be ethical, socially responsible, and sustainable. It is entirely possible to own and run a profit-making business and do the right thing whilst working smarter. The more entrepreneurs who do this, the better chance we have of preserving our planet and achieving a more equitable society than we have today.
