As a small business owner, you know what a colossal undertaking it is to effect the growth that will change the landscape of your business. You’re taking on operations, sometimes single-handedly, that larger corporations accomplish with teams of experts: think things like managing money, maintaining cash flow, obtaining  financing , executing a marketing strategy, and hiring (and training and retaining) great employees, to name a few.

While these tasks are no doubt some of the biggest time depleters you’ll encounter in entrepreneurship, and they’re critical to having a smooth-running business, they’re not the only things that can alter the landscape of your business. You don’t have to wait for a big breakthrough or a major event to make a noticeable impact in your sales, your customer acquisition or the overall health of your business.

These three everyday tasks will not only keep your business afloat, but if you do them consistently, they’ll effect greater change and growth over the short- and long-term life of your business.

While you’ll always have a focus on the big picture, honing in on effective day-to-day routines will ensure your business is keeping good momentum. Prioritizing your to-do list, becoming a singletasker and learning something new each day will not only ensure the important tasks are completed, but help you carve out a profitable future for your business.
