    How To Master The Art Of Running A Business On The Road

    By BAUCE MEDIA PARTNERNovember 11, 20224 Mins Read

    Starting a business means finding the specific ways of working and operating that work best for you and your circumstances. This might mean starting out at home, finding an office, or, in some cases, spending a lot of your time traveling from place to place. Whether yours is a pop-up business, one that provides services in clients’ own spaces, or you simply travel for a lot of meetings, running a business on the road can be tough. However, here are a few tips that can help you do so more effectively.

    Know that your team can hold it down

    There are all kinds of different employers for different teams. There are those that like to micromanage and make sure every detail of the business runs as they see fit. When you’re on the road, you can’t do that. Instead, you need to empower your team to be able to hold things down in the office without you. Finding the right team is crucial, but you should also ensure that they are able to take autonomous action when they’re not able to reach you on all but the most vital of decisions. An environment of trust and accountability is crucial for ensuring just that kind of team.

    Embrace tech’s role in your business

    Even if you prefer to get a little more hands-on and work things the manual way, you are going to need access to technology to stay connected and run things from wherever you are. Even with a simple iPad rental, you can make sure that you have access to the business’s Cloud servers, your emails, internal communication apps like Trythatch, and any other mobile device business apps that you might need. Just make sure that you’re being careful with any devices you bring on the road, always know where it is, and don’t let them lie out anywhere that someone could easily lift them.

    Take your data security seriously

    As mentioned, you need to be careful with any tech you’re using, especially if it’s able to connect to your online business resources. Aside from making sure that you don’t leave it open to theft, you should be mindful of which connections you use to access business resources. As such, when you’re connecting through any semi-public networks, such as the local cafe which gives out their wifi customers to any and all customers, you should do so with the help of a VPN which can make sure that no one can eavesdrop on your data transmissions.

    Make sure you have access to the resources that you need

    When you’re on the road, you might find that you have a need for resources and data that people in the office might readily have access to. With the help of modern communication software, requesting that they send it to you may be easy enough. However, with the right Cloud storage setup, you can make sure that you’re able to access it without any need for anyone else to open up a barrier for you. Just make sure that you have to authenticate every time you access the Cloud for maximum security and safety.

    Ensure that work processes can sustain themselves

    You want your team to be able to adapt as necessary when you’re gone but, in a perfect world, they’re not going to have to make too many decisions without your knowing about it. To that end, you should make sure that you standardize your work processes as best as possible. This means working with the team to find the best methods to complete any given task and then documenting it so that anyone who has to do it in the future has a guide they can follow to replicate results fairly easily.

    Build accountability into the mix

    As mentioned, accountability and trust are vital for working remotely, whether it’s your team working remotely or you running the business from the road. Develop KPIs to be able to get a good idea of how productive your team is going and use business communication software like Slack so that you can check in on work groups whenever it suits you. You don’t have to enable your ability to micromanage from afar, but you can at least make sure you have your finger on the pulse of the business.

    Not every business owner is suited to run a business on the road, so you may need to take some time to consider what your best course of action is. However, if you’re committed to doing this, make sure you keep the tips above in mind.
