1352404523755_computers.jpgDid you get a new client you didn’t expect, or did an unexpected bonus come in that you thought was lost? Now you have an excellent opportunity to improve your business in some way. Don’t waste it; spend it in one of the ways below instead.

Correct That Error

Most businesses have a bottleneck that just won’t go away. It’s a constant problem or issue that you and your employees have dealt with for some time now. Sometimes it’s outdated equipment, like computer screens, or an old point-of-sale system that can’t handle the amount of inventory you sell a day now that you’ve grown. Whatever it is, invest a few dollars to fix it. It can not only save you money in the long run, it can save you time and effort as well. Plus, it will likely make your employees happier, too.

Train Your People

Your greatest assets are your employees. When you spend money to train them, you’re spending money to improve your company in astounding ways. Most of the time, you pay your employees for what they can do, not what they could do with some extra knowledge. If you think your whole small business could use some extra training, pay for a few sessions. Otherwise, target a couple of employees you think could become more effective and productive workers with the right knowledge.

Hire a Much Needed Employee

Is your team suffering because they’re lacking an important factor that you haven’t managed to afford thus far? Here’s a great opportunity to hire one, even if it’s just for a few months. Even a few weeks of an essential employee can help organize things and get everyone on track over a much longer period.
