SYS 023: You Can't Run a Successful Business Without These Seven Apps

Discover today the 7 essential apps that will help you run a successful, efficient and productive business. Join Steve as he talks through the importance of ensuring you have a decent screen recording software, why it is more efficient to use a smart virtual meeting software and why investing in good cloud based office apps can allow you to access your important documents from any device, anywhere in the world.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  You cannot run your business without decent screen recording software. A screen recording app allows you to record your screen and your voice at the same time as well as allowing you to include your webcam in it. This allows you to produce guides by demonstrating things on the screen whilst narrating.  To run a successful business you need to ensure you have decent cloud based office apps. These are things such as spreadsheets, word type documents and online presentations. It is available in Microsoft and Google and it allows you to make sure you do not have conflicted copies and means you can access documents from any device. If you have harddrive corruption or you lose your laptop, it doesn't matter since you have saved everything to the cloud.  It is important for the smooth running of your business to have smart meeting software. Without online meeting software you are forced to meet in person or talk via telephone, these are nowhere near as efficient as using online software. Have a compulsory policy that everyone has their cameras on in every meeting, this helps your team gel and increases the team working capabilities which is massive for productivity.  In a modern business you need an internal instant messenger app. There are circumstances where you need to get hold of people quickly and instant messengers are the way to do that. It allows you to create groups and have individual conversations. Try not to discuss tasks in the instant messenger app, instead use your task manager app to discuss tasks and ping the reminders within your instant messenger app.    BEST MOMENTS  “You can build rapport and people can see your facial expressions, 70% of your communication is non-verbal.” “It just makes life so much easier.”  “The world has seen over the years that a huge amount of work can be done remotely.” “This increases productivity.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/ Website : https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/welcome-1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drsteveday   ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked.
