Are you keeping your to-do list in your inbox? That's NOT what email is for!. 

This is the second episode in our series examining the idea that we're using email for far too many things. (that is - that’s NOT what email is for)

It is understandable how we got here - email is the default way to conduct business communications online. But that’s no excuse for continuing to abuse this bit of technology.

In this episode we’re taking a look at this potential issue through the second simple machine of business: Smart Business.

Smart business is all about creating repeatable systems and employing them in a way that works best for you to magnify your efforts.

Do your website form submissions come to your email? That's not what email is for! This is the first episode in our series examining the idea that we're using email for far too many things.

[what is email for] - asynchronous exchange of messages
[history of email]
In the beginning, there was only email. Really - the first use of the “internet” was an email sent in 1971 by Ray Tomlinson.

In this episode we’ll be taking a look at the issue of email misuse through the first simple machines of business: websites.

Now, it isn’t terrible if you get an email to notify you that someone has filled out a form on your website. This is a misuse of email, if email is the only place where your website form submissions go.

My first job was doing data entry for my Dad. He had written the computer programs to process and analyze the sales & labor data for the restaurant. But… in order for those to work, the numbers from the miles & miles of daily report receipts (yes, really - all the sales for the day were spit out on one looooong receipt - like the ones you get at CVS, but narrower, longer and the ink was purple) had to be input into the computer.

To be clear, this is a computer in the mid 80’s. Green screen, 2 floppy drives - one that the program ran on and the other one stored data. A miracle and a menace simultaneously. I can’t count the number of times the computer failed to write to the data storage and all the work I had just done had to be entered again. This is clearly why I HATE to have to re-do anything.

Despite requiring manual data entry, having these programs gave my parents a huge advantage. Payroll could be run at the stroke of a button (there wasn’t a mouse). Sales and labor data could be combined with food costs to see the most profitable hours and if scheduling changes were needed.

My parents opened a restaurant the year I was born. Not until I became a business owner and a parent myself in the same year did I have actual appreciation of what kind of bold courage that required. (seriously… what were they thinking?!?!)

To be candid, my parents had no business opening a restaurant. They are both farm kids from rural Montana. My dad was an engineer by education and profession to that point, and my mom was doing office work at an industrial linen supply company. 

But Dad was driven to be his own boss and had a particular love for pizza. Mom was up for the adventure. And so Li’l Peetzas came to be early in 1976.

The most unique thing about the restaurant wasn’t the menu specialty item - the Peezarito,  or the baby on the back shelf (very literally, I grew up on the back shelf), but that my Dad wrote his own computer programs to track sales, labor and run payroll. 

And that’s the origin of Analytics as the 3rd simple machine of business.

I spent the first 4 years of my business half-ass attempting to implement everyone else’s systems, and it sucked. Late nights, money stress, racing to meet deadlines, having zero confidence about everything because it felt like I was doing it all for the first time. 

It wasn’t really until I hired my first coach and then got into Client Attraction Business School with Fabienne Fredrickson that I figured out the only way to make any system work was to take it and make it my own.

Smart business is all about creating repeatable systems and employing them in a way that works best for you to magnify your efforts.

And that’s the origin of the concept of Smart Business as one of the simple machines of business.

When used properly, websites are business assets.

Strap in for a quick listen to why websites are the first simple machine of business.
