Francestown, NH, May 06, 2013 –(PR.com)– One of the advantages of being an entrepreneur is setting your own hours. But according to one Solo-E.com certified expert, most entrepreneurs have issues creating and sticking to working hours.
“Creating a business schedule that works for you and your lifestyle is one of the real reasons most solo professionals start a business,” says Paula Eder, owner of Finding Time in Francestown, New Hampshire. “Yet many continue to work 9 to 5 hours because they aren’t sure how to make a flexible schedule work for them.”
Founded in 2006, Finding Time helps heart-based entrepreneurs and small business owners, from the inside out, to align their core values and energy with their time choices and behaviors. This helps them make more money, create more freedom, and find more time.
Eder is one of 50 solo professionals who have met the requirements of the only international post-graduate certification program for solo entrepreneurs to become a Solo-E.com certified expert.
“Studies show that when you create and stick to a schedule that accommodates your lifestyle you actually get more done,” says Terri Zwierzynski, CEO and founder of Solo-E.com. “Our Solo-E.com experts, including Paula, have used self-created working hours to grow successful businesses.”
In honor of Revise Your Work Schedule Month in May, Eder and Zwierzynski share some ideas to help entrepreneurs and business owners successfully create an optimum schedule for business:
· Set expectations. “For example, when someone emails you, have an autoresponder (an email that automatically goes out after an email is received) set up which tells people when they will hear back from you,” says the Solo-E.com Certified Expert. “That way you don’t have to spend lots of time checking email throughout the day and night.”
· Block out hours when you will not work. “By focusing on when you won’t work – whenever that may be for you – you then can use the hours you will have for your business wisely, and not feel tied to your business every minute of every day,” says Zwierzynski.
· Get accountability. “If your goal is to work less and have more freedom, nothing helps a solo entrepreneur more than finding someone to be accountable to,” says Eder. “And groups like Solo-E.com can be very helpful when it comes to accountability.”
