Are You Playing On Your Field of Dreams?

As we approach the exciting days of the MLB playoffs and the World Series, I recall my childhood dream of being a Major League pitcher. After pitching a 2-1 victory over the best team in our Little League tournament, I thought I was well on my way. Then somewhere on my meteoric rise to fame, I stopped growing, couldn’t throw a curveball and my fastball wasn’t so fast anymore. You had a dream once. It was to create your own business, be your own boss, captain your own ship, control your destiny. How’s that going? Did life throw you a curveball?

Take a Leap of Faith

Has your dream dissolved into sleepless nights? As owner, you also function as the bookkeeper, salesperson, window washer and chief jack of all trades. You may have remote employees who surely help keep your doors open.  But who manages them, tracks their attendance, performs quality control inspections on their work and fills in when they call out or no-show? It’s that tired, befuddled, sleep-deprived person staring back at you in the mirror. To grow your business, at some point you have to make a strategic, carefully planned leap of faith to hire someone to replace one of the caps you wear.

Put the Power of Time Card Software on Your Team

There comes a time to hire or streamline your business. The bottle-neck generally happens when you grow to about 20-25 employees. Collecting and calculating handwritten timesheets for this many remote employees causes a headache like you’ve been beaned with a fastball.

In fact, our mobile time clock app provides real-time visibility over employees while you are out prospecting for new clients. And the easy clock in, clock out functionality provides actual time worked to save money on payroll – every pay period, put money back in your pocket!
