A microbusiness of one is a mighty business when you make it one. Size has nothing to do with greatness and being small can be a choice rather than a limitation. If you're a believer in work life integration, then a paperless home based business can be a super smart move. 

Best Chance

Your best chance to work for the company of your dreams is to create your own company. If you do it from home, you have a rare opportunity to say how it goes from the beginning and always. Your life can be stellar or a nightmare depending on how you run your back office. These are more extreme ends of the spectrum compared to just working the day job. which includes working at a place you don't love as much but those paid days are pretty darn nice. 

Stellar Life

A stellar life-both personal and business-is a paperless life. You can't have one without the other. Being buried in paper means you're stressed which is a nice word for nightmare. As you will see in the 3 Mind Blowing Myths of the Paperless Office it doesn't exist unless you use The Ultimate Paperless Back Office™ by invizibiz. Your paperless home based business is the only chance you have to work in a true paperless office because you are 100% responsible for it. For this reason alone, a microbusiness is the way to go. 

Same Space

When you work from a home office you're always at home with no separation from your work space. If you clutter it with paper, then you can never escape. Clutter in your space is clutter in your mind and you need a clear not cluttered mind for business development. As I've said many times paper is the ring leader for Invisible Expenses™, those expenses you don't know about that are killing your business™. Remember you still need some peace of mind left over at the end of the day when your wife and children come home. 

A Clear Desk

One of the 4 good working habits from Dale Carnegie's Golden Book #4. a. states: "Clear your desk of all papers except those relating to the immediate problem at hand." To have a clean desk is to have a paperless office. 

For this you need 2 super charging tricks:

Trick 1) Technology

Trick 2) Good Habits

The Hard Part 

Technology is the easy part, that's what invizibiz is for. Good habits are the hard part and that's what you're for. You can never delegate away good habits and you will always need them as you take yourself from one level to the next. As long as you don't like clutter, hate spinning wheels and wasting time then you are a prime candidate for living a stellar paperless home based business life. 

Peace of Mind

When you own and operate a microbusiness you can aspire to greatness which may or may not mean more employees and multiple locations. For example, you may choose to have as few employees as possible, a minimum amount of stress and maximum freedom. The resulting revenue may far exceed the day job you gave up but the intangible stuff like attending your kids Spring concert at 10:30am are priceless. Notice how the goal was about lifestyle design and not about X dollars in sales. You and your business could achieve great things like quadrupling sales while sacrificing peace of mind in the process. In this case bigger is clearly not better. 

Entrepreneurial Seizure

In Michael Gerber's cult classic, The eMyth Revisited, he describes technicians who wake up one day with an 'I can do it better than my boss' moment ready to start a business. Technicians such as architects are only good at the skill they've been hired for over and over again while they fail to understand how to run a business. A paperless home based business is a necessity for overcoming the entrepreneurial seizure suffered by technicians. 

The Deficiency

Starting a small business is about creating the framework for success over the next 5 years and beyond. Your technician skill and probably the thing you'll be selling is actually the least important part of a business. Owning a business is about 20% technician and 80% back office so technicians are coming to the table with an 80% deficiency. Online bookkeeping services are a great way to fill the void, however choosing the wrong service can be worse than not choosing one at all. Learn how to choose the right one with FAQs and SAQs.

Put Time in Your Pocket

A microbusiness owner has to work like 2 full time people at a minimum while wearing an infinite number of hats. If you fumble with paper you are wasting time during your 80 hours a week road to glory. A paperless home based business is a good habit for putting 20 hours back in your pocket. Start eliminating Invisible Expenses™ before they take over your life. A microbusiness is choice and you should also choose peace of mind.
