How to create a 30-hour work week

It’s essential for entrepreneurs and business owners to master the use of their precious and irreplaceable time. However there are many underlying benefits of creating a 30-hour work week.
Learning how to reduce your typical work week by 10 hours without sacrificing income may take practice. It is easier and faster to accomplish than most people think, and frees up time to work on your business instead of in your business.

3 ways to create a 30-hour work week

Fire bad customers
Time is money. Eliminate time wasted by customers who tie up your sales people with inconsequential sales, who constantly complain and who make your finance team chase them for payment. You need to either get rid of them or transform them into customers who proactively feed the bottom line.
Concentrate only on products and services that produce the most profit. Elimintae, sell off or upgrade dead weight ones that don’t contribute significantly to your profitibility.
Double your conversion rate
Gather accounting data and metrics that will give you a clear picture of where your profits come from, how much contact is made with customers and how many customers make actual purchases.
Then, launch a marketing campaign to generate new customer leads, to encourage existing customers to buy more and to promote your most profitable products or services.
Part of this effort should involve a new way of looking at your business model. Most entrepreneurs see the future of their companies in terms of products and services that fill a particular market need or niche. They assume that if they find the right merchandise, customers will come.
For an alternative approach, invest in acquiring the loyalty of the perfect customer.
Once an expanding customer base is established, use incentives like executive customer service, in-house financing, exclusive product lines and preferential customer perks to inspire clients to increase their transactions with you.
Run your businesses on auto-pilot
Once you’ve gained your extra 10 hours a week, you can take time off and settle for making the same amount of money you did before.
However, an alternative is to leverage your newly implemented success. You can maintain the same hours of operation, capture an extra 25 percent in profits and then wisely reinvest those profits in even more time-saving initiatives.
By working smarter – not harder – with organised systems, technology, innovative advertising and dynamic employee training, you can prepare your business to function in the hands of other capable people. Helping you to take another step towards personal freedom.
