Being fully connected has made running a business remotely possible. Sometimes entrepreneurs are afraid to leave the office because they fear they might lose operational control of their business. The truth is, any business can be run remotely from anywhere in the world. The following tips will help you successfully step out of the office and become a remote entrepreneur.

SUCCESSFULLY
RUN YOUR
BUSINESS
REMOTELY

2. To keep everything as stress free as
possible, set clear goals and expectations
for your employees. This allows employees
to know specific deadlines on things.
Setting up check-ins throughout can allow
employees to ask questions and clear up
any misunderstandings they might have.
Being as clear as you possibly can will help
your team produce outstanding work.
SET CLEAR
EXPECTATIONS

3. Make everything public! This will allow
everyone you work with to see what you’re
working on. It will also allow your co-
workers to know that you’re actually
working instead of just sitting around
drinking coffee or catching on up on your
DVR.
BE FULLY
TRANSPARENT

4. Trusting everyone on your team helps
open up lines of communication between
everyone. Team members will feel more
comfortable speaking up and putting their
opinions on things going on within the
company out in the open. It can also open
up collaboration and help develop new
ideas to help the business succeed and
continue to grow.
TRUST YOUR
TEAM

5. Technology has made working remotely
incredibly easy. Software and applications
like Google + hangouts and Skype allow the
office feel without actually being in one.
These programs also make office meetings
simple. Web-based collaboration programs
or CRM softwares can also be used to help
employees set and keep track of goals
throughout their work day. There are also
web applications that allow employees to
easily share and edit each others
documents.
TECHNOLOGY

6. It’s pretty simple, check-in with each other
from time to time. Working remotely can
put you out of the loop with your
employees but setting aside a time and
place to catch up with each other can
foster great working relationships as well
as a great work environment. Check-ins
can be set up through weekly Skype
meetings or even scheduling trips to the
office to see how things are going.
