People often ask me how I manage to run three businesses.
It started 15 years ago when I set up Hudson Business Accountants and Advisers to fit around my small children in just 25 hours per week. There was a lot of juggling parenting and business responsibilities to get the balance I wanted. I sold this business for 32% above average as it was set up to run efficiently without me.
Roll forward a few years and those small children have now left home for university and I run three new businesses
- Minerva Accountants does what you might expect: accounts, tax, bookkeeping and business (not just tax) advice
- Minerva Technology is a small fintech startup
- Hudson Business Advice is mainly me speaking, writing, and coaching other accountants and business owners how to run their own business more efficiently and profitably.
So how do I do it?
• I employ people better than me
• I am happy to delegate to these and other experts and subcontractors
• I invest in technology (hence why I had an idea for the tech business!)
• I choose clients that are a good fit for our services and don’t try to service unsuitable clients.
How could you manage your business more efficiently and profitably?
