How to manage a business     Part One

Time

A managers favorite verse

1 Corinthians 14:40 (NIV) But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

Why manage?

Business is made up of many parts that happen at different times

The average person can only keep track of so many things

Someone has to co-ordinate the parts, the time, the things, and the people that make it all happen


We are going to look at three key management areas

Time

Finance

People


Why manage your time?

Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.                       Rick Warren

Make the most of your time

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Ephesians 5:15-17 So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise, making the best use of your time …

Who’s time is it?

Psalm 31:14-15 “My times are in your hands.”

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. 

i.e. The planner

Time as it relates to …

Goals

A goal is a desired result or possible outcome that a person or a system envisions, plans and commits to achieve: a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development.



Time as it relates to …

Tasks or projects

Task (project management), is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time or by a deadline


Time as it relates to …

Steps

A step is a specific thing that must be done contributing to some task



When people use planners they often fill the pages with many steps, maybe a few tasks, but seldom the goals.

Keep track of all three.
