Welcome back! Today in Small Business School, we’re diving into a topic that’s crucial for every business owner—time budgets. Whether you’re running a product-based business or offering services, understanding where your time and your team’s time goes can make all the difference in your profitability and impact. Let’s explore how time budgets can streamline your operations and boost your bottom line!

Topics Covered:

• Knowing how much time your team spends on tasks helps you assess their value and optimize efficiency, ensuring that you're getting a solid return on investment.
• Service providers, especially those on monthly retainers, often overlook how long tasks actually take. Time budgets help ensure you're profitable, not just busy.
• Giving your team specific time budgets and clear instructions can prevent wasted effort and align their work with your goals, leading to consistent results.
• Tracking time against budgets allows you to address inefficiencies early, helping you maintain or even improve your profit margins.
• If you’re new to time budgeting, start by assigning small time blocks and adjusting as you learn. It’s a flexible system designed to help you and your team succeed.

Time budgets aren’t just about saving money, they’re about creating a thriving and efficient business. If you’re unsure where to start, reach out, and I would be happy to help you implement this game-changing tool!
