Running a small business it's no small thing. As a business owner, you don't just wear one hat, you wear them all. You are the HR department, the payroll processor, the planner and often the motivator of the team. This is a lot of work bound to be stressful. Every day brings a new challenge, whether it's making last-minute schedule changes, tracking employee hours, or ensuring accurate and timely payroll, and it's all on your shoulders. It is a small wonder that the new 20% business owners left in their first year.

Managing these tasks manually can quickly become overwhelming, leaving little room to focus on what really matters: growing your business, supporting your team, and supporting yourself. This is why more than half of all business owners end up working more than 50 hours a week.

Planning is one of the most complex puzzles you have to solve. it's much abused an entrepreneur's daunting daily task, but it's also one of your most direct ways to support and manage your team and your time. Spreadsheets and paper schedules may work at first, but as your team grows, so does the chaos.

Tracking employee hours is another time-consuming task. If you rely on paper time sheets or old-fashioned punch clocks, mistakes are bound to happen, leading to payroll discrepancies that frustrate your employees and eat into your profits.

Communication within your team is another hurdle. With everyone juggling different schedules and responsibilities, keeping everyone informed and engaged is easier said than done. Group texts and emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, especially when you're trying to communicate important updates to a team that's always on the go.
