3 Tips for New Business Owners

Written by Tania Young | Jul 3, 2012 12:00:00 PM

Starting a business in New Zealand is as simple as applying online with the Companies Office.

It takes one day and a one off cost of just $165.

That's where it stops being easy.

Owning a business can be tough work, but, from experience I've learned that actioning the following will get you on the right track.

Use a good CRM - knowing that all your client data is up to date and that you can successfully create an audit trail for correspondence is gold.

Learn to Delegate - great staff will embrace the challenge of responsibility; let them take ownership of tasks.  This will allow you to spend more time 'on', instead of 'in' the business.

Embrace improvements - At BRAVEday we live and breathe the idea of Kaizen. Constant small improvements allow our team and our services to be better all the time.

Owning your own business will be one of the most challenging and rewarding things you do in your lifetime. Be BRAVE, be informed, be excited!
