This past week, I cut out about six different monthly services that my wife and I haven’t been using all that much. These were for both business and personal use - including the landline phone at home. It’s been months since I picked up the landline to make a call - so why did we keep paying the phone company $35 each month?
In total, we’ll be saving just under $200 each month by canceling the services that we did. So why didn’t we do this months ago? Why did we keep sending our hard earned money to other people for things we didn’t use?
The answer is simple - each bill individually doesn’t add up to much. It’s only when we combined the totals that we saw the impact.
Former US Senator Alan Simpson, from Wyoming, once made a famous statement when referring to the federal budget - “A billion here, a billion there…pretty soon you’re talking about real money.”
The lesson is simple - small things, when combined, can make big impacts. It’s true when in comes to money. It’s also true when it comes to time.
Take some time today to see where you can save yourself and your business small amounts of time and money. Be sure to look at the impact when you total the savings - as Senator Simpson once put it - now you’re talking about real money and time.
