5 Ways to Make Entrepreneurial Life Simpler

Entrepreneurs don’t have it easy. They are the people to whom all the most severe problems in the business get directed. And it is they who have ultimate responsibility for all the decisions that the company makes. Being an entrepreneur is tough. So that’s why it’s important that they do everything they can to make their lives simpler. Fortunately, modern technology is a marvel. And there are now hundreds of options available to entrepreneurs to make their lives easier.

Here are just some of them.

Productivity and Organisation

Entrepreneur’s time is literally money. And so that’s why they need to do everything they can to improve their own productivity and organization. Fortunately, there are many tools that entrepreneurs can use.

One the of the problems that entrepreneurs have today is remembering their passwords. They sign up to so many offers, programs, sites and blogs that it can be hard to keep track. One cool app is 1Password. This app allows entrepreneurs to create a secure password for all websites that they visit. And it lets you store all your passwords, pin codes and so on in a single, safe digital location. Digital security is a serious concern for entrepreneurs. So the program also provides advice on when to change weak passwords or where they are duplicates. The app helps entrepreneurs save time online by allowing them to fill out a password in a single click.

Another major problem for entrepreneurs is contract lifecycle management. Entrepreneurs are often engaged in multiple, simultaneous contracts with many different people. And often it can be hard to keep track of when various contracts need to be renewed. Apps, like Contract Works, make managing contracts more seamless. Thus, entrepreneurs have more time to get on with the many other aspects of doing business that require their attention.

Customer Support

Maintaining excellent relationships with clients is essential if you want your business to succeed. But it’s also a time-consuming process. Fortunately, many tools exist that can help you out. Software, like Zendesk, for example, helps you organize all your inbound tickets from any channel. Say, for instance, that your business interacts with customers over social media, email, phone or chat boxes. The apps like Zendesk consolidate all of these streams into a single program. Other apps, like Clickdesk, allow you to talk with customers, no matter what your location. That means that you can offer voice and video support to the client in real time. This is perfect for entrepreneurs who want to troubleshoot an issue that a customer is having with a product quickly. And it’s also ideal for quickly responding to comments on social media.

Outsourcing

No matter how hard they try, entrepreneurs can’t do everything that is required to make their businesses a success. Sometimes they need to call in outside help. Fortunately, there’s plenty of outside help available. Take sites like Upwork, for example. Entrepreneurs can hire a freelance writer to complete a brief for them on virtually any topic they want. And in doing so, they save themselves both time and money spent doing the work themselves. There are also similar sites that allow you to hire developers too. If for example, you need to have a website developed, you can get one in under five minutes.

Copywriting

Entrepreneurs today know that content is king. And that’s why more and more are paying attention to building up their copy. But creating a great piece of writing is easier said than done. Unless you have specific skills in the area, it can be difficult. Fortunately, there are some rather sophisticated tools at your disposal. If grammar isn’t your strong point, you might consider a subscription to Grammarly. This software is great at picking up mistakes that are not found in traditional word processors. And, if you get the premium version, Grammarly will offer suggestions based on who you’re writing for. There’s a difference between the style of writing in a company report and the style of writing in a blog.

Graphic Design

Not all entrepreneurs are whizzes when it comes to graphical design. And fewer still can afford their own graphical designer. So what are entrepreneurs to do? Well, there really is no easy answer to this one. There aren’t tools yet that will do design work for you. But modern tools are easy to use and don’t take long to figure out.

Take Sketch, for instance. This app allows modern designers to track practically every aspect of their workflow. And it allows them to share their work easily if they need to collaborate.
